Happy New Year, friends!

I have two things for you today, but before all that, I hope everyone is well. It's been such a crazy start to the year. I have a son in grade school and I'm constantly on the edge of my seat, wondering what will happen with classes as the "virus-that-must-not-be-named" spreads more in our community. Hoping you all are staying safe and sane and that things only get better from here!

Also, thanks again for following us and your support! It means so much. Jennifer, Haley and I are busy putting together our next class, which will be all about the basics of licensing. I currently have a couple of classes planned for the next few months, but I need your help to plan out the year.

Which bring me to my first request. I am wondering what topics you would like us to cover... what are the questions you have about being an artist entrepreneur? We have tips and ideas for so many things from portfolio building to negotiating to preventing and dealing with burnout. What have you been grappling with on your own journey that we can shed some light on?

Any and all ideas are welcome and will be added to my list of future class topics (unless you suggest something completely inappropriate for us to teach, like swimming lessons. I know you're all dying for us to teach swimming lessons on SkillShare but we simply will not do it!).

And the second, we are having a contest I thought you might like to know about. We’d love it if you helped us get the word out about our class. If you head over to Instagram, share the image below and this link (https://skl.sh/3E8De0H) in your comments, and tag us (@jennifer-nelson-artists) using #jennifernelsonartists you will be entered to receive not one but TWO meetings with JNA. The winner will get to join me for a one-hour Mojo Session and Jennifer for a one-hour Portfolio Review + Business Consultation!

Thanks again! I look forward to hearing your ideas
