“We’re not satisfied with the quality of your calligraphy, so we won’t be paying you.”
Yes, that was actually said to me. And naïve, inexperienced Shinah hadn’t gotten payment upfront – so all my work ended up being for nothing. Sucks, right?
I recently shared this experience with my Calligraphy Biz Inner Circle members. Not to teach them about payment standards, but to remind them that client’s opinions can be brutal. But at the end of the day, they are just that – OPINIONS.
Join me this episode as I share the advice I gave my Inner Circle about:

  • Battling our obsession with perfection (and how it’s actually self-centeredness)
  • How to reframe your brain when it starts to catastrophize
  • The best way to shake off a bad experience, and take it with a grain of salt

Make sure you stick around and see what ended up happening with this client (you won’t believe the twist of events!).
