Ep: 307 - Repetitive Practice as the Key to Success with Rich Brown
For most everyone I’ve spoken with in the last year and a half of the podcast, one thing has been true - As soon as they touched clay, they were hooked. It was like a siren call, an addiction, where their whole life they began to rearrange in order to figure out how to carve out more time to have their hands in the mud. That mesmerizing experience that is true for so many of us, often has us jump straight from our first class at the local community studio to “how do I sell this so that I can quit my job?” in the span of just a few months. But what does it actually take to quit your job and go full-time in pottery? What SKILLS do you need in order to actually be able to make a living from the things you make? Are there certain goals you need to hit to make this thing viable? Today’s guest sheds a bit of light on his experience with these very questions.
If the mention of amazing support from fellow makers has you yearning for a community of your own, I would love it if you check out The Community - our new online home. Right now, we already have 47 makers from all over the world sharing their experiences and problem solving around so many of the questions we all have - How the heck do you keep up with Instagram changes? What website platform did you decide to use when you moved off Etsy? How do you manage shipping? And so many more… Learn more by visiting: https://www.makersplaybook.com/community/
