TOM METCALF - Before I joined the Artist Entrepreneur LAB, I did a lot of research into different mentors and courses that could help me with my art business. Catherine's appeared to different to all the others that I found.When I joined The LAB, I found the information, support and guidance that I'd been searching for, to help me take my art to the next level. Not only that, but I felt like I had a real friend in my corner, helping me out whenever I needed someone to ask for advice, or just to cheer me on and to celebrate my wins with me.When I joined The LAB, I saw it as an investment in my art business. Not only has that investment paid off, but it's also set me up with a set of solid foundations and structure to keep building from in the future. Before I began my LAB journey, I was overwhelmed and didn't know which way to turn, or where my efforts should be focussed, so my approach was very scattered and unproductive. I was constantly feeling burnt out and I felt totally lost. Now I feel like I have the focus and the planning in place to help me make sure that each day in my art business really counts and I'm excited for what the future holds.
