info_outlineSo you've been doing "all the things" to sell your work and you're still not having the success you want?
While we have access to a lot of education around the practical steps to selling your Art + Creations, there aren't enough conversations around this very important piece to selling your work ~ your ENERGY.
Let's change that conversation starting now with this episode, part 1 of a 3-part series.
We talk about confidence but your overall energy is much more than that.
While you can muscle your way through to a certain level of confidence, a consistent, integrated, inspired energy around selling work is what you need to build the successful business you dream of.
What's the specific energy you need and how do you accomplish that exactly?
That's what I'm talking about in part 1 of this 3 part series.
