As an artist, our phones are key to running our business, but they can also be the biggest distraction. I've found a way to keep myself focussed during the times I need to use my phone and a way to stop me from being distracted when I actually need to create. This app has been a game changer and no, it is not endorsed, I just genuinely love it.

Whenever you feel stuck on a decision, or just need someone to hash out an idea with, I want you to email me. I will keep your name anonymous and will answer the question on the podcast.

In this episode I talk all about the pressures of running an art business, whether that's keeping up with your competition, the pressure to post on social media or joining in with Black Friday sales. I also talk about why it's good to sometimes put the pressure on and when it's important to take it off. This comes from my experience in November where it all got too much and I had to press pause on marketing my art business (whilst quietly putting equal pressure on myself to complete commissions!). I hope this episode helps anyone who finds themselves feeling in a state of pressure at any time in their art business.Question for the podcast?
