In this book, you will find many strategies that will help you prepare for the artist's journey and overcome any challenges that you encounter along your way.
No matter what form(s) of art you practice, whether drawing, painting, music, sculpture, acting, cinema, architecture, or something else, the path to success can be daunting and filled with obstacles. No matter how dedicated and passionate you may be about your art, losing sight of and straying off your path is common. However, it is possible to stay on course and succeed if you persevere.
Finding your unique style or niche within your chosen art form is one of the first obstacles you will face.

Believing in yourself is a real test of resilience and commitment to your craft, which will be essential in staying on the right path
