Episode 118: Breathing after Biz Burnout, Comfy Pillows and Surviving 2018!Today’s episode of the RockStar Mentor podcast episode 118,  I am working on wrapping up a lot of things for the remainder of 2018. I am really thrilled about the amount of feedback I received from Episode 117 where I share my ups and downs, highs and lows, successes and failures in my artistic business and how I’ve overcome those and have managed to be a full-time artist for over 15 years.In today’s episode I’m also talking to you about making 2019 your best year ever, how to continue networking with your fellow artist and fellow business people.I also participated in a quilting Secret Santa last week with my friend Annette Kelley and walked away with the best gift ever. A mini quilt made by Therese May! I was so thrilled to have won this and I appreciate and admire Therese's work and she has been regarded as the National Quilting Association as one of the 100 best American Quilters of the 20th Century.I will resume the podcast in January and I wish everyone happy holidays this amazing holiday season and get your best plan in place for your business to be the best in 2019.Therese May Quiltshttp://www.theresemay.comSONYA PAZ FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/sonyapazgallery/SONYA PAZ GALLERY BUILD:https://www.facebook.com/pg/sonyapazgallery/photos/To view this year‘s 2018 ornament, please view them on my website:Sonya Paz 2018 Limited Edition OrnamentNEW Motivational Freebie DownloadClick here to get yours!HEY, IF YOU WANT TO GET MY FREE EXHIBITOR TOOLKIT GET IT NOW BEFORE IT GOES AWAY!Click here to get the toolkit!Check these episodes out on the website athttp://rockstarmentor.com/podcasts/ Or whatever podcast player you prefer (ie., iTunes.
