In this solo episode, Stacie opens up about a hard truth many creative entrepreneurs face but few talk about: what to do when your art business hits a plateau. Sharing a vulnerable and candid story about a product launch that flopped, Stacie reframes business stagnation not as a failure, but as a signal for evolution. With practical steps and heartfelt encouragement, she walks you through how to diagnose the root of business slowdowns, how to reignite momentum, and why a plateau might just be the push you need to evolve into your next chapter. Today on Art + Audience: Facing the Quiet After the Launch: Stacie shares the story of launching a candle line that didn't meet expectations, despite all efforts. What felt like failure was actually vital feedback. Understanding Business Plateaus: Why stagnation isn't punishment, but an invitation to rethink and grow. Step-by-Step Through the Stuck: Step 1: Diagnose the real issue – is it the product, audience, or messaging? Step 2: Make a bold move – shake things up, even in small ways. Step 3: Recommit with a sustainable rhythm – avoid burnout with intentional action. Personal Evolution: How pivoting into teaching reignited Stacie's passion, showing that evolving roles can breathe new life into your business. The Five-Hour Week Framework: A balanced approach for creatives to move forward without overwhelm. Call to Action: Encouragement to reflect, try something new, and trust that you haven't peaked—you're just getting started.
