How can I increase my art business output when I only have limited hours to work each day?

Think of your business as a factory with an assembly line. Everything you do—creating art, posting on social media, sending emails, making phone calls—is part of that assembly line, and at the end of the day, whatever comes out is the GDP of your business. The key is to increase the output of that factory. Use tools like AI as robots on your assembly line. Instead of producing 10 units a day, you might produce 15, then 25. They may not all be perfect, but they’re out there. No one is seeing your work if you’re not producing and sharing it. If you can increase the widget factory output, your business will grow. This is especially crucial when you have limited time—you need to work smarter, not just harder.
