Have you ever been taken aback by people's reactions to something you thought was a no-brainer? It happened to me, Matt Tommey, when an offer I believed was irresistible met with more skepticism than a conspiracy theorist at a magic show. 

In this episode of Thriving Christian Artist, we're not just talking shop about the art world; we're taking a deep dive into mindsets and how resistance to opportunities, like my $14 introductory offer to the Creative to Thrive Artist Mentoring program, reveals a bigger picture of the fears and hesitations that can choke out our creative growth.

But here's the twist: those unsubscribe notifications? I say, bring them on! We're all about curation here – not just of art, but of our tribe. When the skeptics opt-out, it's actually a celebration of clarity, a sharpening of focus on those who are ready to invest in themselves and align with our vision. 

So join me as we laugh in the face of fear, high-five every unsubscribe, and welcome the passionate, committed creatives who are eager to support each other's journey. It's about finding confidence, embracing boldness, and understanding that every 'no' makes space for an enthusiastic 'yes'. Strap in for a ride that's all about cultivating the community that will help your art, and your spirit, truly thrive.

You can still join the program for just $14 at http://www.matttommeymentoring.com/artmentor
