Alexis Fedor is a performance artist, writer, and business developer living in New York City. She is the Founder of Artists In Business, a consulting company that provides online courses and group coaching for artists of all disciplines. With Artists in Business,Alexis helps artists create profitable online businesses by focusing on three major areas: clarifying their offers, identifying their ideal clients, and crafting a marketing plan that aligns with their artistic vision and mission.
In this episode…While all business owners face challenges when running their companies, artists experience a specific set of issues when starting their businesses. For many, these obstacles are based on the “starving artist” mindset, a belief system that holds artists back from achieving professional—and financial—success.
Alexis Fedor believes that by understanding how the individual pieces of starting a business fit together, artists can overcome their limiting beliefs and successfully grow their online businesses. That’s why she founded Artists In Business, a consulting company that helps artists of every discipline design businesses that thrive in revenue and purpose.
In this week’s episode of the Pencil Kings podcast, Alexis Fedor, the Founder of Artists In Business, joins Mitch Bowler to discuss how she helps artists start successful online businesses. Alexis shares a story about an artist who overcame her limiting beliefs and went on to earn six figures. She also talks about her personal journey to success, the dangers of comparison, and why now is the best time to create an online business for your art. Stay tuned.
