62 | Make your shop shine with Cold Gold owner, Alaina Smith!

Are you getting too many sales in your online shop?  

If not, and you want to experience what that is like, then listen up!

 I met Alaina while going to art school in Knoxvilleand was immediately drawn to her thoughtful and bright way of being in the world. This chat inspired me to take her entrepreneurship class and catapulted me to wake up my sleepy online shop that never got much action. I’m just starting to implement some of her ideas but I got more sales in my shop overnight than i had had in 2 years!

Which is to say, grab a pen and get ready to take notes. 

Seriously great ideas that can help your creative business to thrive!

And if you want the cliff Notes version you can head to my Patreon where I have a worksheet with some creative prompts, affirmations and a checklist for creative businesses. That’s at www.patreon.com\thymeinthestudio
