What's the most important next step I should take right now for my art business?

Take a deep breath and honestly assess: What is the single most important next step for YOU right now? Is it starting your business for the first time? Is it making a major change to your existing business? Is it recognizing you’ve been missing all the biggest art selling times of the year and committing to show up for them? The summer season is right in front of you, followed by the crucial fourth quarter. You could not have a better opportunity than right now to make that change or take that first step. Be honest about where you are and what needs to happen next, then take action on that one thing. Don’t get paralyzed by everything - just identify your most important next step and do it.
