What You're Not Doing: 7 Mistakes Artists Make (231)

The biggest mistakes artists make aren't about doing the wrong things—they're about doing nothing at all. Avoidance. Waiting. Hoping something will change on its own.

In this solo episode, host Alyson Stanfield revisits and reframes one of her most popular articles, updated with a decade of insight and experience. These are not dramatic failures, but subtle patterns of inaction that can quietly keep your art business stuck.

Alyson shares 7 common mistakes, grouped into 3 themes:

Mindset. Connection. Structure.

Each is paired with a powerful inquiry to help you take honest inventory—and move forward with more awareness.
