How much time do I need to spend each week on my art business to be successful?

There’s no magical number of hours required. People are in different seasons of life—some have only an hour or two per week, some have 10 hours, some have 30. What matters isn’t the specific number of hours; it’s that you stay at it consistently without stopping. Some seasons of life you can only spend a little time, and that’s fine. The key is maintaining consistency. As you do the work, you’ll get wins that fill your emotional reservoir, and you’ll naturally find yourself wanting to spend more time. Momentum feeds on itself.
