There are several 'Business truths' that every artist learns: The first is It takes SEVEN YEARS to become an overnight success and the second is If you want to make money, making money is easy.
Having Business Skills won't make you better at being an artist and art will not make you better at being a business person. Each has to be learned, nurtured and if you are really LUCKY, you will be good at both. The most likely scenarios are good artists that hire representatives or those good at networking whose art is acceptable.
I successfully ran a business for more than sixty years, artistic talent and business savy made this possible.
