Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

How do you coach someone to actually eliminate or diminish decades of conditioning

within a week or two to make their art. I would say the, um,

it comes down to a, like a personal reaction to something. If I gave you two different foods and I

asked you to taste them, you wouldn't have a hard time telling me which one you liked if you really liked one and didn't

like the other. So if you had people around you saying, no, but this other one that you don't

like, that's the good one. No one could convince you that the thing that tastes bad to you

taste good to you. So it's a very simple, it's such a simple idea, getting to,

what do I actually like? No second guessing. No, it doesn't go past and it doesn't have to

stand for anything. It doesn't have to represent you. It's just, this is the thing that tastes good to me. What do you

think? That's our whole job is, this tastes good to me. What do you think? When an artist is,

you mentioned commerce and you mention art. When an artist is struggling financially, and they're

like, I want to make things that I enjoy that taste really good for me.

But I've been doing that for five, seven, ten years and it doesn't taste good for anyone else.

How can I make a living around my art? Or should I not think about my art as making a living,

but I should be thinking about commerce separate from the art. I think dividing them is a really healthy idea.

And that having a job that supports you so that you can be free in your art is ultimately

what's best for the art.

Really?

Yeah.

Now, you can get a job related.

You know, you can get a job in the industry you're interested in. You can get a job if you're a painter. You can get a job related, you know, you can get a job in the industry you're interested in.
