Commission installed this week! $10,000.00

I have a testimony I would like to share with you all. So during a worship night gathering at someone’s living room we also had an art night where we were just working on our own artwork.. and I was wondering what to draw and then I saw a picture of a woman wearing a hijab and she was crying and in distress but I saw her heart coming alive! From death to life ! And then funny story I met this exact woman wearing a hijab and I showed her a picture of my drawing and she was shocked ! It blew her mind and then I told her the God of heaven and earth saw her and Loves her… she wasn’t open to God since she’s Muslim. But she asked for my number and few months later she was in distress because someone stole her money and was about to be kicked out of her place and all her friends abandoned her. Well I was able to hear what’s going on and connect her with a Christian group Mercy house who help women get back on their feet and off the streets. She then says she believes in God! And the Lord had told me that this represents many women who are under oppression right now due to religion. And the many waters behind her means that even many waters cannot drown the Love of God that comes and makes us alive !

Good evening All! I believe that the more we put in, the more we get out. We have this beautiful community let's all put in the work by following the path laid out. I need an accountability partner. Also anyone interested in doing a "study hall"? We would get together on video and for a certain time work on our business tasks simultaneously

Last weekend I had the pleasure of setting up a booth at a festival in my area. I generated over $5.3k in sales in 8 hours. On top of the sales, I learned a few things: I had help! I had two people who were just as eager to sell as me. They were just as energetic in the set up and breakdown of it all. They complimented me as the artist with each potential collector that stepped into the tent and picked up the slack on the backend paperwork when I was too busy talking to customers. I had a variety of products to sell from original art, to giclee prints, to hand painted bags and handmade earrings. So the goal was for every single person who came in to purchase something. The little transactions add up but make sure you have high-ticket items as well. You never know when someone will love your work enough to buy your whole collection. I had a couple who had just moved to the area buy 3 originals for their new home. Your display matters. Of course start where you are, but if you can, get some walls to hang your artwork. If you sell cards get a stand, lay a rug down, add some plants. Try not to only use easels and a table to lay your products on. The better experience people have looking at the art, the more they'll be able to visualize it in their spaces. My personal opinion is that business cards are a waste of time. If you have them fine, but what's even better is having signage that they can take a picture of or for you to exchange info in your phone if they are serious about contacting you. Most of all collect their info for the email list. The relationship doesn't stop there. It's only the beginning. Have fun! Meeting new people means new opportunities to exchange stories. Ask them about who they are and listen you never know who you'll meet.

My goal for the month of August is to talk to 90 new people total and track the results. My second goal is to finish ad testing. Revenue Goal is $10k
