How do I balance life challenges with building my art business?

Everyone has challenges — kids, multiple jobs, financial struggles, family responsibilities. We all have stuff in our lives, and there will always be obstacles. The question isn’t when life will be perfect enough to start; it’s when you’re going to get started despite the challenges. Successful artists keep grinding throughout their life difficulties. As long as you keep making incremental progress and stay committed to the long-term vision, you can build a business around those challenges. The key is to start now rather than waiting for circumstances to be ideal, because they never will be.
