If you love to paint but find yourself getting distracted by every shiny new idea, you’re not alone. We creative types are notorious for jumping from one project to the next, and before we know it, we’ve started ten things but finished none. Sound familiar?

Well, I have some good news for you. I’m about to share three secrets that will help you stay focused, streamline your creativity, and turn your passion into a thriving paint party business—even if you have a thousand ideas swirling in your head at any given moment. Let’s dive in!

Secret #1: Find Your Focused Money-Maker

Let me tell you a quick story. Years ago, I was a full-time teacher making $22,000 a year. I loved painting, but I never thought I could make real money doing it. Then, in the midst of bankruptcy and losing everything, I started painting wooden surfboards as a way to heal.

At first, it was just for fun. But then my students kept asking, “Miss Easley, can you paint me a surfboard?” After about the 150th request, a lightbulb went off—maybe I could sell these!

Long story short, I took a risk, set up a booth at an outdoor mall, and within two months, I had sold over 1,000 hand-painted surfboards, bringing in $20,000! That moment changed everything for me. I realized that having a focused, repeatable, sellable creative product was the key to financial success.

If you’re struggling to figure out what to sell, start by identifying your cash cow—that one creative project that’s easy to replicate and in high demand. In Paint Party Headquarters, we provide hundreds of tried-and-tested painting designs that sell like crazy, (including this SUPER cute highland cow that we like to call the “cash cow” because it’s so popular) so you never have to wonder what’s trending.

Secret #2: Stop Chasing Every Creative Idea

Oh, the struggle of being a multi-passionate creative! One minute you’re painting, the next you’re designing t-shirts, and before you know it, you’re convinced you need to start making jewelry, too. Sound familiar?

I get it. I used to do the same thing. I’d make $1,000 at a paint party and immediately think, I should do all these other things too! Then I’d buy all the supplies, get distracted by another idea, and suddenly, I was drowning in unfinished projects.

This is what I call squirrel syndrome, and it’s the number one thing keeping many creative entrepreneurs from making real money. The solution? Stick to one thing long enough to see real success before jumping to the next.

That’s why inside Paint Party Headquarters, we give you everything you need to stay on track—marketing templates, pre-made painting designs, and even a Paint Party Look Book so you can book your next party while you’re still at your current one. No more chasing random ideas. Just focused action that leads to profit.

Secret #3: Use the Right Tools and Resources

In my early days, I was scrappy about supplies. I’d drag my entire family to Michaels just so we could each use a 40% off coupon to buy one pack of brushes at a time. It was exhausting.

Now? I don’t waste time or money hunting for deals. I have wholesale connections and supply lists that ensure I make a profit on every party. Inside Paint Party Headquarters, I teach you exactly where to get your materials at the best prices so you’re never left scrambling for supplies again.
