ENCORE: Guarantee Your Success
The most common question I get asked by those who are considering joining my incubator is something similar to “What are the guaranteed results if I join?” However, the only one who can guarantee your results are YOU.

Scarcity Selling
During my one-on-one calls with artists, I’ve had conversations where I hear about their struggles, and I noticed that the same themes kept coming up over and over again. One of these is what I call “Scarcity selling.” Scarcity selling starts from the lack of abundance mindset of artists around the creation of their art. This is when artists doubt that they can produce more amazing, beautiful pieces. This can lead to other struggles like anxiety, creativity burnout, over-working your art pieces, procrastination, analysis paralysis, and even guilt. In this episode, I share the story of t...

Think Like an Abundant Artist
One of the biggest concerns of artists is pricing. What is the value of my art? Am I selling too high? Will anyone pay for this? And a lot of times, artists sell their art too low. The problem is whenever art is priced too low, it rings alarm bells in buyer’s mind and makes them ask “What’s wrong with it? Why is it too low? Is this real?” “Not all buyers are looking for what’s cheapest, or even what’s most popular. A conscious consumer may care more about a company’s alignment with their value...
