Dealing with Rejection with Megan Wimberley (ep. 197)
Description
host: Alyson Stanfield
In order for the art ecosystem to work, many rejections must be handed out. That means to have a successful art business and career, you must learn to deal with rejection.
More to the point, in order to be successful in life, you have to learn to deal with rejection, regardless of your vocation.
In this episode of The Art Biz, host Alyson Stanfield talks with Megan Wimberley, who wants to help you move past rejection. As both an artist and a founder of the Cowgirl Artists of America organization, she has experienced both sides of the process.
The good news about rejection is that you are not alone. Every artist who wants to attain a higher level of accomplishment must deal with rejection.
The bad news is … well … You’ve been rejected. And that feels awful. But you can’t let it stop you.
Megan outlines a framework for dealing with rejection, including the importance of emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and professionalism—all in the service of elevating and protecting your reputation.
