Episode Notes

Do you have a business plan for your art biz? Did you know you can write your mileage off on your taxes? What’s the best way to organize information about your paintings and collectors?

Jaime and Lori discuss the different ways they organize their art businesses, starting off with business plans and goals, and the importance of having both short- and long-term goals. They discuss schedules and calendars, phone apps to help keep you organized, and organizing your computer files. They also discuss what they each use to keep track of inventory, income and expenses, and their collector databases.

Enjoy a few laughs during this episode too. Does Jaime use 15 spiral notebooks to organize and does Lori have a label maker? Is Jaime flighty and is Lori hiding all the junk in her studio?
