What Really Makes A Buyer Decide To “Wait”All artists are business owners by default. We just are all not always aware of that because there is zero to little emphasis placed on the fact that as artists in our society at this point in time we are business owners. We are looked at as freelancers by the IRS, we have write-offs just like business owners do and we are expected to figure out on our own how to create and maintain a career that is sustainable otherwise we have to fend for ourselves by getting other jobs, by finding work that takes away from the career path we know we’re meant to take. Now there’s somewhat of an illusion that people who make it to the “top” meaning “spotlight” there’s a perception there are very few spots available at that “top”. When really when we sit down and look at the reality we realize in our heart of hearts that that is just an illusion. There is no such thing as the top of the top, there’s simply where we are, our own space and how we choose to fill that space that we are meant to fill in this world and that in of itself can lead us to equal levels if not more so success then those at the “top” that we perceive are doing so well and so much better then everybody else.

But that aside, it occurred to me and it occurs to me pretty much on a daily basis, with talking to and working with the incredible artists in the Artists in Business community and how blessed I am on a daily basis to be surrounded by such beautiful artistic minds and talent that there is, in fact, a disconnect between the confidence to take your business in your own hands and put that out into the world with a sense of empowerment and the actual work you do. Now, artists if this is something that you have experienced then this episode is for you.

  • 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!

    Fiona Bates, Actor
  • 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.

    Jillian Walker, Actor/Musician/Entrepreneur/Thought Leader
  • 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.

    Bonnie White, Actor
  • 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. Plus, she is the dearest, kindest creature on the planet- be ready for an enjoyable and productive ride!

    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.

    Shane K. Rotkis, Author
  • Resourceful and sophisticated, Alexis has cutting edge knowledge of social media opportunities and can tailor a strategy accordingly. I fully recommend her.

    Mady J. Schuman, Senior Vice President, Campaign and Leadership Giving, American Cancer Society, NYC
  • 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. 

    Janice Hoffmann, Project Coach/Field guide/Creator of Creative Trails
  • 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.

    Roger Webster, Webster Light Grant Communications
  • Alexis has wit, charm and confidence that comes from understanding how a business needs to operate. It is from this place that she creates business plans that align with your goals as a company ready to grow. Stick with her. She will help you turn your business around with precision and grace.

    Alison West, Owner, Yoga Union NYC
  • Alexis’ energy precedes her when she walks into a room. To know her is a gift. To work with her is good news for your spirit and your business. She has both sides of the brain working in all the right ways.

    Mack Burns, CEO, Body And Mind Works
