Being part of the Artist Mastermind Circle has been transformative. The bi-weekly sessions were incredibly helpful, especially knowing the topics in advance and being able to prepare. Setting clear, detailed goals early on and hearing others’ goals encouraged me to push myself. It was so valuable to turn my swirling thoughts into a concrete plan.
