In episode 6 we chat about a serious lack of cake, due to a last minute podcast recording. Jill was fine though, she was still stuffed full of birthday cake from the day before! Nikki did have a posh coffee pod thingy though, so that took the edge off.

We also talk about how to deal with customers who might be being overly picky with you. Sometimes you have to be strong, take the reins and be the professional by advising your customer what is best. After all, that is what they commissioned you for.

And tying into all of this is perfectionism and how we all spend too much time striving for perfection, when we could better utilise our time on honing our skills.

We also have a little chat about the Art Business Course and that anyone who is interested in hearing more about it, can sign up here (below) for more info.
