In this episode of The Artist's Guide to Business, I dive into a practice that transformed my art business: quarterly reviews.
As artists and creative entrepreneurs, we're often focused on the next project, the next opportunity, always moving forward. But what if the key to sustainable success is actually taking time to look back? This episode breaks down:
- Why artists resist business reviews (and the hidden costs of avoiding them)
- How quarterly reviews can prevent burnout and help you identify what's actually working in your business
- Key metrics to examine: from revenue and sales to traffic and visibility
- How to spot unhelpful patterns that are holding your business back
- My "closing loops" practice that frees up mental energy for creativity
- The self-appreciation practice I've adopted from the corporate world that's essential for solopreneurs
Whether you're a seasoned creative entrepreneur or just starting your art business journey, this episode provides a framework for intentional reflection that will help you build a more sustainable and aligned creative practice.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
