Renegade Profile: Artist-Entrepreneur Ann Rea
This week we’re taking a deeper look into the journey of artist, Ann Rea, who’s also been one of the most talked about case-studies in the book.
In this interview, you’ll discover how Ann:
- Went from medicated, frustrated, depressed office worker to massively successful and happy artist in an astonishingly short time
- Bucked conventional wisdom and tapped her business and marketing savvy to literally create a new approach to earning a great living out of the gate as a painter.
- Convinced wineries in Napa and Sonoma to joint venture with her and launch her career
- Scaled her business by merchandising, licensing and creating a strong online presence
- Discovered a secondary passion for entrepreneurship and marketing
- Launched another renegade venture teaching other artists how to make a real living
- And, so much more.

I clearly remember Ann’s case study from the book primarily because of the level of creativity it exemplified. While it’s not easy to come up with such a creative idea to connect a passion with a market, it’s a testament to the fact that you shouldn’t give up hope just because there’s no obvious income opportunity.
