Ep. 091 Dealing with Negativity and Making Lemons into Lemonade

There is nothing better than to sell your art to the masses and getting a lot of encouragement and kudos fro those who believe in you and support you.... however, there are times when people don't think before they speak and say the most awful things. Working on a thicker skin to be able to deflect those comments and negativity can help with how you deal with this dilemma. It's not hard, it just needs practice.  
We will also answer questions from Rosie in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Gwen in Austin, Texas on the recent episode 90 from the Pacific Fine Arts Interview.  Listen up!

Ep. 089 Social Media Woes That Will Make You Tear Your Hair Out!

Just when you are all comfy in your Social Media zone, then BAM! You get hit with another algorithm change that will seriously affect the way you manage your business. Sure we all get into the groove where we are comfortable and have our routine, the phone is ringing, the email is chiming and life is good...... then, you get hit with

I did a lot of research on this subject and located a great blog that explained this in four part summary. this was written by Jen McDonnell of Reshift Media  she wrote this blog and I found this to best explain what to do as a business and how best to prepare with the changes without panicking! The article is called "10 marketing Tips for Businesses to Capitalize on Facebook Newsfeed Changes".

The part that is so frustrating for me is that I am an artist and I teach painting classes/events adn this takes so much away from the time I need to run my business ()which I do really well) so this just adds more to my already crazy  schedule. I know deep down inside that this will be good (and expensive) for my biz, but ..... well... you know....

Ep. 086 Will Smith says "Fan Your Own Flame!" I'm also discussing the mask behind Imposter Syndrome!

I've said it before but Will Smith gets in your face to fan your own flame.

I have said it for years, to be your own cheerleader and self promote to your hearts content... to not take anyones crap and to persevere and to march to your own drummer... with confidence.

However Will smith's recent rant on social media reinforces to all to not take anyones negativity and to surround yourself with positive people. People that will feed your ideas and not diss on them. Sometimes when this happens, this can lead to the imposter syndrome and the consequences that follow these feelings.  As much as I preach this simple logic to all artists and entrpreneurs and business people, Will seems to have a larger fan base than me, so I am sharing his video - Enjoy!
