The Book of Creative Misconceptions: 21 Lies That Keep Artists Broke

What if the only thing standing between you and a thriving creative career… was a lie?

Most creatives don’t fail because they lack talent.
They fail because they believe the wrong things.

In The Book of Creative Misconceptions, Bryson Williams dismantles 21 of the most damaging lies artists and creatives are told—from “you’re not ready yet” to “there’s no money in art.” Each chapter exposes a mindset trap that keeps creatives broke, stuck, or burnt out—and replaces it with powerful truths, lived experience, and hard-earned game.

Whether you're an illustrator, animator, designer, writer, or multi-hyphenate creative, this book will shift your thinking, sharpen your confidence, and hand you a mental machete to cut through the B.S.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• Why “struggle” is a choice—and how thriving is actually easier than you think
• The truth about pricing, practice, mentorship, style, and imposter syndrome
• How to stop overthinking and start building a profitable creative business
• The mindset shifts that separate winning artists from the ones who get scraps
• How to treat your art like an asset instead of a hobby—and get paid like it

Each chapter is short, punchy, and packed with perspective-shifting insights, personal stories, and Million-Dollar Questions to unlock your next move.

This isn’t just a book. It’s a permission slip.

If you're ready to unlearn everything that’s been holding you back—and finally build a creative life on your terms—this is your guide.

• Read it in a single sitting
• Apply it for a lifetime
• Written by a full-time creative who's actually done it

Whether you're a budding artist just getting started, or a seasoned veteran, this book is certain to save you months, if not years of headaches, wasted time, and wasted money.
