So normally on Tuesday I would have a guest on the show, usually an artist from my community who I get to talk with and give her and opportunity to share her work and her mission with everyone who listens to this show. These are my absolute favorite interviews because they allow me to get to know the incredible artists in my community one-on-one and give me a chance to help them build their businesses in very specific ways.
These- and all the interviews I share on the show- give me a chance to share proven, powerful, practical business tips with you to help you build your business with your art, your way.
But I decided to step away from interview mode altogether today to share with you the one business tip that surpasses any other in terms of building a successful, powerful business: community.
