STOP REPEATING THE SAME COSTLY MISTAKES
If you keep underpricing, avoiding follow-up, or postponing the email, there’s a reason the same stumbling blocks keep showing up—and working harder won’t fix it.
YOU’VE HEARD THE ADVICE. SO WHY DOES THE SAME PROBLEM KEEP COMING BACK?
You've read the pricing advice. You know the follow-up matters. You've heard me say your list is your most valuable asset.
And yet you still lowered the price. You still didn't send the email. You still let the collector walk without asking a single question.
More information won’t fix a pattern you keep repeating.
The pattern changes when you can finally see what’s driving your decisions. On July 29 at 12:15 PM ET, you’ll watch that happen live.

The Most Expensive Business Decisions You Make Sound Like Good Manners
Here's what "being nice" costs you in actual dollars:
👉 You suspect your prices are low. You discount anyway, so your work stays "accessible."
👉 You don't follow up with the collector who asked about the large piece because you don't want to seem pushy.
👉 You don't email your list because you don't want to bother anyone.
👉 You say yes to the unreasonable request instead of holding a business boundary, because disappointing someone else feels worse than disappointing yourself.
Being kind isn’t the problem.
The problem is that wanting to be liked, agreeable, and easy to work with is quietly making your pricing decisions, your promotion decisions, and your follow-up decisions for you.
And your pattern might not be niceness at all:
👉 "I'm not ready yet" — while you perfect a website nobody has seen.
👉 Avoiding the gallery you actually want, because that rejection would land somewhere personal.
👉 Pulling back every time it's time to raise prices, get more visible, or go after the bigger opportunity.
Reasonable-sounding decisions can still be expensive.
She Held Her Price. The Collector Swiped $5,400.
Coaching isn’t valuable because it gives you more inspirational thoughts.
It’s valuable when it changes how you respond during a real sales conversation.
Here’s what happened after one of our recent coaching sessions:
“I just sold my first $5,000 painting at my art show this weekend! I used the tips from the last coaching session about dismissing hagglers, and not convincing people to buy.
Someone came by and swiped $5,400, including tax, to buy my 36-by-60-inch painting so easily. And now she’s considering buying my 48-by-72-inch painting.”
—Sangeetha Gopalakrishnan, Artist Incubator member
This is what happens when you stop letting fear run the sales conversation.
This Is a Live Diagnostic. Not a Pep Talk.
During The Invisible Ceiling Session, Shaun Roney will coach selected artists live.
She’ll identify what’s driving the underpricing, avoidance, procrastination, or hesitation.
I'll connect what she finds to the money — what it's costing you in prices, sales, and opportunities.
Because the belief doesn’t stay politely inside your head.
It appears when you lower the price, avoid making the offer, postpone the art show, or wait until you feel ready.
And each time, the opportunity that matters most gets delayed or abandoned.
Shaun hears the story beneath the decision.
I recognize what that decision may be costing the artist’s career.
This is the same coaching Artist Incubator members get twice a month. For this special session, registration is open to artists outside Artist Incubator.
FIND THE BUSINESS BLIND SPOT
YOU Can't SEE alone
Sometimes, it's easier to recognize your own business blind spot when you hear someone else describe theirs.
Their circumstances may be different, but the pattern underneath them may feel surprisingly familiar.
Underpricing may be fear disguised as generosity.
Perfectionism may be fear disguised as professionalism.
As Shaun questions one artist’s assumptions, you can answer those same questions privately for yourself.
You may hear the exact explanation that has been keeping you stuck.
You don’t need the same story to recognize the same ceiling.
Now She Owns Her Pricing
“I wanted to raise my prices and sell larger artwork for more money. The mindset sessions with Shaun Roney exposed the limiting mindset I had about selling art."
—Camille Gerrick, Artist Incubator member
Doubled Her Prices, Stopped Apologizing
"In six months, my business has grown exponentially. I doubled my prices... I'm stronger and I believe in myself more, and I can talk about myself and my art with no apologies."
—Rachel LeRoux, Artist Incubator member

I've spent more than twenty years building a multiple six-figure art business and helping artists build sustainable careers from their creativity. I wrote the bestselling Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living from Your Creativity.
I know exactly where costly patterns show up in an art business: what you charge, whether you follow up, how visibly you promote, and what you do when a buyer is standing in front of you.
Shaun finds the belief. I tell you what it's costing you.
Together, we bring the inner and outer work of an artist’s career into the same conversation.
Questions Artists Asked
Before Registering
Q: How long is the session? A: The live session will be approximately one hour.
Q: Will I be personally coached? A: Shaun will coach selected artists live, but personal coaching isn’t guaranteed. You'll still get the value by running her questions against your own situation while another artist is being coached.
Q: Do I have to share anything publicly? A: No. You can watch, reflect, and receive value without volunteering to be coached.
Q: What if I already know why I keep doing this?
A: Knowing the explanation isn’t the same as changing the behavior in the moment it happens. This session is designed to help you identify the exact point where the pattern takes over—and choose a stronger response before it costs you another sale or opportunity.
Q: Does my access expire? A: No, you will have access to the workshop for the lifetime of the Inspiration Place site.
Q: If I have another question that isn’t answered here, whom do I contact? A: I want you to be happy. If you have further questions that have not been addressed here, please email support@theinspirationPlace.net
Q: I’m already an Artist Incubator member. Do I need to register? A: No. This session is already included in your membership.
