    WHEN YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:
    Why failure is your greatest teacherHow to view your business activities as experiments rather than successes or failures.3 examples of how 'failures' in my business actually turned around to be my greatest lessons and lead to growth in my art business.

Thank goodness for Facebook Advertising

I have recently discovered Nat and her work after coming across one of her Facebook adds and I was instantly enchanted by her work. It speaks to me the way I want my work to speak to others. I had started seriously painting about a year before coming across her facebook then podcasts and everything she says has helped me with confidence, strategy, and giving myself grace with my business. Very helpful with great advice. Her Art Biz start up group on Facebook is also amazing! So thankful I stumbled across your add, Nat!
