From $40 Paintings to Painting for Dwayne Johnson - Danielle Weber #77

Danielle Weber painted a piece for Dwayne Johnson simply to say thank you, then hand delivered it. Years later she presented him another one on the carpet at a world premiere in Times Square. She also used to sell her work for $40 a piece. It now starts at $10,000.

Danielle Weber is an Australian artist working across commissions and large scale murals, and is building a community and a platform for other artists. This is the show's first episode with an artist.

What you will learn:

- What she says a power move actually costs, and the week in bed that followed her biggest one

- How she went from selling pieces for $40 to starting at $10,000, and how she prices now

- Why she takes a deposit before she will even sit down with someone in person

- The ten year marker she gives anyone trying to decide whether to keep going

- Why she deliberately keeps several things running at once, and what that does to rejection

Danielle Weber turned $40 paintings into work that commands its own price. Property should work the same way.

Most properties only make money if the market does. The ones that pay for themselves from the day you settle are bought differently, and it comes down to four points.
