Is Your Brain In The Way Of You Making Money In Your Art Business? Our brains are wired to feel a certain comfort level around a certain amount of money based on what we’ve been accustomed to in the past. So when we begin to make more than that in our businesses, our brains can view that as a threat to what it is used to.

This causes more artists to stop building their businesses than you can imagine because they don’t know how to get past that certain level of comfort in order to allow for more cash to flow in.

I doubted this when I first started my business but as I learned first hand how true this really is, I started to find ways to identify when I was self-sabotaging my own success so I could consciously turn that around to make the amount of money I was at first uncomfortable with. I share some of the most powerful tools I used to accomplish this in today’s episode so you can use them for yourself as you continue to grow your business with your art.

Working with Alexis helped give me the clarity I needed to target my goals and create a solid foundation so that I could begin to THRIVE as an artist/ entrepreneur. She was the missing link I needed to help bridge my ideas into reality. Not only is she extremely kind and patient but most importantly… she knows her stuff! I feel so fortunate to have had the chance to work with her and I know you’ll be too! Take the leap to the next level!

Alexis is one of the greatest listeners I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Her ability to listen leads to her offering intuitive and enlightening advice for your business and your life, opens doors you didn’t know were possible or wouldn’t have otherwise known were there! While working with Alexis, I experienced monumental shifts in my thinking every single week, giving me more clarity and confidence as an artist and as a business person.

Working with Alexis, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I feel much more hopeful for the future, because now I know exactly what steps I need take to change my financial situation. Now I understand that only I can make my financial situation better by taking action right now and that my acting career will absolutely benefit from the energy I put into being more lucrative by taking the steps Alexis helped me discover. Her positive encouragement was essential to this process, she was always very supportive and responsive to any questions I had. I’m so thankful I was introduced to Alexis, it sounds cheesy, but honestly, she helped me change my life for the better.

Alexis Fedor is a consummate professional with the uncanny capacity to understand what your business’ needs are before you even know them yourself. Beyond diagnosis, she is able to structure systems to help you meet those needs in manageable, sustainable ways.

Caley Vickerman, Guerilla Haiku
Alexis edited my e-book PURGED, The Literal Regurgitation of an Anorexic Bulimic. I was instantly comfortable with her, feeling confident that she valued my work and had my best interests at heart. Her nature is very nurturing and gentle which were necessary for me as PURGED is an extremely personal and often difficult story to tread through. Alexis was aware and sensitive to this. She helped turn my coherent, although disorganized, written thoughts into a piece of work that I was proud to publish.

Alexis Fedor understands the fundamentals of building a successful business. She cut her teeth on trial + error and by taking risks and diving into the backcountry of the entrepreneurial world. Her expertise is hard sought and her accomplishments well earned. I’ve had the privilege of stepping behind the scenes. Trust me – you will be dazzled.

I learned more about business development, online marketing and social media in one hour with Alexis than I had on my own for four years. I trusted her immediately, for good reason. I hired her immediately for my clients, and we were thrilled with the results.
