Appreciated both perspectives! Stan and I had similar trajectories. I started out as a music teacher, switched industries, and now take Proko lessons in my off hours. :) Great episode as always!
LESSON NOTES

Time to make those dolla’ dolla’ bills fly yo! Marshall and I talk about various ways artists make money such as freelancing, getting a job, and starting your own business. We also dive into our own stories about how we made money and answer a voicemail question about taking commissions. And Kim Jung Gi drew an unflattering portrait of Stan.

a bit of recap, in 4 months or 5, i achieved absolutely nothing, but good thing my portfolio showed tremendous amount of growth, i got on talking stage with some clients, got barely any work at sites but again talking just talking boost my confidence. Now i dont know how out of nowhere my professor asked me to be assist them in their class for drawing, i am not earning anything but its like a course, which again i am really proud of, still i dont know why. ANDDDD I am trying to make vinyl covers, small stickers and put them on easy, marketplace, ebay thanks to this podcast. I dont know again if i am gonna earn anything like a respectable amount but ill try to survive.
