This week’s episode is a follow-up to last week’s “When Opportunity Knocks” (or, saying YES!) episode! We have a deep situational conversation about when you have to tell potential clients no. The ‘no’ word does not have to be negative, and especially doesn’t have to negatively impact your art business.
