Artists Soar

Jules, Rachel, and Stephanie chat about:

• how rejection can make you better
• and ways to handle rejection

If you have a question you'd like us to discuss feel free to email us at [e-mail]

Key Talking Points

• Julie has changed her mindset to realize that you have to get a ton of 'Nos" before you get a yes.
• Recognize when you are experiencing imposter syndrome.
• You have to take the gut punch of rejection and keep going.
• Turn the negative into a positive.
• You have to have a failure rate, and take the shots.
• Evaluate and talk with other artists to see what is working for others.
• Have some friends mill about in your booth to pique interest. Do not be on your phone!
• Consider giving a survey to find out what the audience or email subscriber wants.
• Test different ways of doing things (A/B testing).
• Mindset is the #1 thing to watch.
• #2 Figure out how to turn it into a positive
• Consider having a document that you can actually write what you want to say to get it out of the way (never share)
• Create a "Fabulous File" to put all of the positive things people have said about your work.
• Write down what hurt you and burn the note.
