Common Questions Answered
-
I haven't run this program in over a year and am not sure when it will be offered again. If you are busy in your business then that is a great time to get the additional support through coaching to add ease and momentum in your art biz.
-
You should expect to put aside a couple of hours a week to work through the content in the program and send your questions or to join the live calls for support. You can choose how much additional work such as reading or journaling you have capacity for.

The program and live calls are designed to support and enhance your business., not add unnecessary additional work to your schedule. There is no such thing as 'when my schedule frees up' when you are running an art business. You get to choose what you prioritise.
