Listener Questions
On this episode:
- How do you handle not getting accepted into markets? I recently got rejected from 5 events and I’m at a loss. My work sells in the stores I’m in, I can sell $2-3k at my regular market events, I’m a nice person! I don’t get it. I looked at other potters who were accepted and in a few cases- I get it, but often I think my work is on par. What do you do to push through in the face of rejection and not let it steal your self worth? Thanks! Also - Becca’s jingles are the best! @jennywoodarts
