Welcome to the Thriving Christian Artist the

0:02

podcast , where we hope you connect with God

0:04

to bus through the roadblocks that have held

0:06

you back for years , create the work you

0:09

love and really live the life you

0:11

know . God created you to live

0:13

as an artist in His kingdom . I'm

0:15

Matt Tomah , your host . Let's get started

0:17

. Why

0:22

am I friend ? It's Matt . Welcome to another

0:24

edition of the Thriving Christian Artist podcast . Super

0:26

glad that you are here . You know , one

0:28

of the dreams that I hear from artists all the time

0:30

is oh man , I want consistent income

0:33

, I want to be able to quit my job . I want to be able to

0:35

, you know , add a little bit of money to my retirement

0:37

savings or make life just a little bit easier

0:39

every month financially

0:41

, and at least at a very minimum pay

0:44

for my art passion , so

0:46

that I'm not having to come out of my pocket every

0:48

month . But people have this dream

0:51

of consistent financial

0:53

income and yet very , very few

0:55

artists have an idea

0:57

of how to do that , because they've

0:59

never been taught how to manage

1:02

their money , how to develop wealth , how to

1:04

build a business that has consistent

1:06

income in it . That's one of the things that is

1:09

very core to what we teach inside

1:11

of Creative Thrive in our artist mentorship

1:13

program is that you can absolutely

1:15

create consistent income

1:18

in a way that serves you

1:20

and the season of life you're in and the vision

1:22

that God has given you . But one

1:24

of the things I've found that

1:26

artists are really , really bad

1:28

about doing is

1:30

thinking about multiple streams

1:32

of income in a way that has

1:34

nothing to do with how they're

1:37

designed or what they're called to do . Meaning

1:39

this ? Meaning somebody thinks

1:41

, well , I'm an artist and I need to be making

1:43

consistent income , so

1:45

I'm going to go work a job on the weekends , or

1:48

I'm going to pick up this extra thing , or I'm going to go do

1:50

multi-level marketing , or I'm going

1:52

to start babysitting on the side , or I'm just

1:54

going to start doing all this stuff , chasing

1:57

money and trying to cobble together

1:59

enough income to be

2:01

able to pursue the dream that they have of

2:03

being an artist . Now here's the dirty little

2:05

secret because they're running

2:07

around chasing this money that has nothing

2:09

to do with how God has designed

2:12

them or called them in

2:14

their life , they lose all their energy , they

2:17

lose all their passion because they don't

2:19

have time for it , right ? They're so tired , you

2:21

know , running around working all these other part-time

2:23

jobs and doing things that God never designed them

2:25

or called them to do , that they lose sight

2:28

of the very thing that God

2:30

has given them , which is their

2:32

art . Listen , we believe

2:35

in the kingdom that our income , our

2:37

financial provision , comes through

2:40

our unique design , and

2:42

it's for the purpose of our assignment

2:44

, not only so that we can walk in

2:46

blessing and enjoy the desires of our heart , but

2:49

so that we can be a blessing to others . That's

2:51

how the flow of

2:53

God's provision is designed to work

2:55

in our life , and so I like to teach

2:58

a concept in the mentoring

3:00

program in our artist cash flow bootcamp , actually

3:02

called a product ecosystem

3:04

. In other words , instead

3:06

of trying to cobble together a whole bunch

3:09

of unrelated income

3:11

opportunities , how can you begin

3:13

to create a product suite

3:15

and an ecosystem around

3:17

what you do ? And I'll give you an example For

3:19

me , you know , as a basket maker

3:22

for years and somebody that did

3:24

not have a lot of , you know , I

3:26

had a couple of businesses before and had done a

3:28

few things , but I was not by any means an

3:30

expert entrepreneur , but I

3:33

knew that I needed to focus my

3:35

time and energy and resources . And so

3:37

, for me , as a basket maker

3:39

, what would I do Well . I would make baskets

3:41

and sell them to people . I would also do

3:43

shows . I would also put my

3:45

work in galleries . I wrote a

3:47

book about basket making . I started teaching

3:49

baskets in person . I started

3:51

teaching in other conferences

3:54

and retreats . I developed some online

3:56

classes . What was I doing ? I

3:59

was starting to create multiple

4:01

ways to bring income

4:03

into my life as

4:06

an artist , but all of them were

4:09

related to my calling as an artist . Listen

4:12

, that when you can do

4:14

that and you start to build

4:16

that little by little and build these streams

4:19

, all of a sudden those streams become

4:21

rivers and those rivers

4:23

begin to be the very vehicle

4:25

that carries abundance into

4:27

your life . Now , listen , I've found

4:30

very , very , very few artists who

4:32

can do this by theirself . It's overwhelming

4:34

. It's a lot . It's a lot to manage . It's

4:36

a lot to even have a vision for

4:38

that , maybe even understand . You know

4:40

what that you do even has the potential to

4:42

make money . And

4:45

I would just say to you , my friend , if you realize

4:47

that that is your issue right now , you need

4:49

multiple streams of income . But for

4:51

whatever reason you've tried , it's not work

4:53

. You're frustrated with that and you're

4:55

looking for some help specific

4:58

to you . I would love to help

5:00

you , my friend . The best way that we can

5:02

do that is inside the Creative to Thrive Artist

5:04

Mentoring Program . You can get started right

5:07

now for just $14 for your

5:09

first month and then after that

5:11

, the investment that you're gonna put inside

5:14

your own business is worth so

5:16

much more than you would ever

5:18

pay . Not only that , most

5:21

of the time all those fees are tax deductible

5:23

anyway , so you're getting to count that . You

5:26

know , not even as a part

5:28

of your taxable income . It becomes a business

5:30

expense that you're using as

5:32

you begin to build your business . My friend

5:35

, I would love , I would love to

5:37

help you develop that

5:39

ecosystem , that product suite

5:41

in your life so that you can begin to create

5:43

consistent income through multiple

5:46

streams of income and be able to have

5:48

the time and the freedom and the energy

5:50

to do the things that God has called

5:52

you to do . You can click the link right

5:54

join us inside Creative to Thrive and

5:58

listen if you're kind of enamored

6:01

by this idea of product ecosystem and

6:03

6:05

what has the potential to make money . One of

6:07

the bonuses that you get inside the program

6:09
