This Full-Time Artist Started Her Business with Only $2 In Her Bank Account- Issue 52 is Live!

The January magazine is live and it’s a brand new year!! This is one of our favorite times because everyone feels excited and ready for a fresh start and new business goals. It’s also when we all get to recover a little from the holiday rush! We have the perfect stories lined up for you this month to get you pumped up for all of the possibilities that this year holds. Rebeca has been a full-time artist for seven years now and her husband was able to join the business full-time at the 3-year mark. But guess what? The day she decided to make art her full-time career choice, she only had $2.00 in her bank account. If excuses have ever held your business back, her story is a must-read.
