How Pricing My Art Correctly Felt Like Climbing a Mountain at 4AM
(And Why You Don’t Need to Be a Starving Artist Anymore)
Every morning at 4AM, when the rest of the world is asleep, I’m hiking up a mountain trail.
At first? Brutal.
Stumbling in the dark. Half-asleep. Fingers numb from the cold. My brain screaming:
"Why the hell do you do this every time?"
But then something weird happened.
My body adapted. My mind followed.
What once felt like torture became... purpose.
Now, I move without thinking. No overanalyzing. Just presence, peace, and getting the shot with confidence.
And here’s the funny part—
That’s Exactly What Happened When I Learned to Price My Art Right
I used to price like an amateur.
I’d justify my rates with:
"This took me 20 hours."
"The materials cost $200."
"Look how technically difficult this was."
But nobody cares about your calculations.
Then I tried something different.
I priced one piece based on its true value.
Then another.
And suddenly—collectors leaned in. Interest went up. Sales followed.
Just like those 5AM hikes… it clicked.
My nervous system finally said: "Ahhh. This is it."
