Unemployed & Afraid “I still have to learn not to judge my work off the opinions of others,” Monique Fedor, Artist
The fear of sucking at something has killed more businesses [and more passions generally] than any other life variable.
Thing is, being average and not knowing what you’re doing is completely unavoidable for anything new worth doing. Building a business is no different. We don’t get where we want to go without feeling challenged, confused, unsure and maybe even a little bit embarrassed while we try.
But if you’re willing to sit with this pain, you’ll become unstoppable. And this episode will show you why.
My guest is the celebrated painter Monique Fedor, and in the sharing of discovering her passion and following it through to a thriving business you’ll hear about:
- Pushing forward when you almost give up
- Embracing the title [and magic] of being of self-taught
- The dark side of Instagram
- How to find your crowd
- The constant battle with self-doubt we experience
- And the benefits of making new connections along the way
So, if you’re holding yourself back in some way, I think you’ll be ready to push forward after hearing this business-building story.
