Ahhh, this exactly why i am here! I'm ready to shift from hope to knowing...

"Knowing is a phoenix in house slippers. A sermon in paint strokes. A memoir still unfolding on a page."

I am a phoenix rising. I knew it, but this is giving me the nudges to let go of my fear. Big hugs Monica.

I got sucked into a “ how to increase your sales on Etsy”, course. All the info in that course was available for FREE, if I had done my research. 🤦🏼‍♀️An $800 lesson…

I’ve done so much of this as well. In both writing and art. There are good people and systems out there, but there are also a huge number of convoluted exhausting systems out there too. If I never hear the words ‘sales funnel’ again, I will not miss it.

In the end, it really all comes down to the right people seeing my art.

But most importantly, I feel I have to believe I have a rightful claim to my part of that pot of gold, whether it’s at the end of the rainbow, or from the deep pockets that reside outside my sphere.

I feel the shift within me and it is making all the difference.

Most creatives just want to create and some art selling systems allow us to do that much more than others.

Fabulous observation! Similar for writing:

But here’s what they didn’t tell me: they had no idea why people actually buy fine art.

Because fine art isn’t a calendar. It’s not a product you upsell or bundle. It’s a soul transaction.
