I have owned this class for awhile and just decided to start it.... well I should have watched/taken this class years ago! I did not go to art school but follow that mindset. This was amazing. So much to learn and unlearn. The pricing and raising your prices what just what I needed. Thank you Megan for another wonderful class.

I watched the live course and, despite not having done art school, I picked some useful tips I can use in my crafts business. Megan is always so helpful! I will buy her courses for sure. She's one of my favourite trainers here on Creative Live! :)

This class is really helpful for taming your inner demons – to name a few: criticizing your work to death, overcoming analysis paralysis, perfectionism, fear of success, pricing your work, and how to respond to the marketplace in a way that doesn't feel like "selling out". Pricing, bread + butter products, strategies for talking to your customers in their own language, business profiles and more are covered in this class. Invest one day and learn how to get out of your own way so you can succeed.

This class was so good - it's not just for people who went to art school, but anyone who has (or wants to have) a creative-based business. Megan's lessons break down the overwhelmingness of roadblocks and gives you tangible tools to get past them, shift your mindset, and shows you how to focus. There were so many elements to this class that were helpful, but overall I think if you feel like you're stuck, you overanalyze every decision, and feel like you want to move forward but don't know how, this class is for you. Thanks Megan, for helping me work on a plan to move me past my hurdles.
