Case Study
A personalized mandala artist who knew exactly what she wanted to create, but not how to sell it without it feeling forced. A few sessions later, she had a sales process that felt like an invitation instead of a push, and her first orders were already coming in.
In Her Words
"I met Alja at exactly the right time, a time when I felt I needed support in sharing my passion with others. In plain terms, how to actually sell my paintings, and slowly move to shorter hours at my day job.
With so much heart and compassion, she showed me that selling can be something beautiful. It's a relationship, one where I sell my work to people who truly feel me, people who value having an energy painting at home or in their workspace, made especially for them.
Alja helped me ground an idea I genuinely feel, so it didn't stay floating somewhere in the clouds. We went through it step by step together, from realizing that selling is okay and that we all just carry different fears around it, to market research and a real plan going forward.
Thank you, Alja, for all your supportive, enthusiastic energy, and for showing me to actually schedule time for creating too, so my mind could be calm, knowing exactly what comes next. I'm so grateful we met, and I'm already looking forward to what's ahead."
How We Met
Maja and I met at a weekend mandala workshop hosted by Tanja Prezelj, where a group of women spent a few days together creating their own mandalas. Tanja had invited me to help the group think through the business side of their craft. I ran an evening session on career and business, an interactive circle where each woman shared where she felt stuck, and the group supported one another through it.
Maja later joined a one-day workshop I held in Ljubljana. From there, I made her a personalized offer: to build a sales process together that wouldn't feel like forcing people, but like an invitation.
Building the Foundation
From first contact to close: connection, potential, opportunity and offer, with a clear script for the discovery conversation, so it never felt like a pitch.
Finding her own balance between a more direct, structured approach and a softer, flowing one.
A small, medium and large personalized mandala, each priced from what she felt her time, art and energy were actually worth.
Using thought-work to catch and reframe the fears underneath, "what if nobody likes it," "what if I copy someone," "what if I'm not sure," until she could act from a calmer place.
Across Facebook groups, Instagram and word of mouth, gathering the feedback that shaped her messaging and confirmed real demand.
Landing on a sustainable rhythm of protected creating time, instead of guessing at what she could actually take on.
Early Results
Maja, thank you for trusting me with something so personal, your art, and the fear about selling that sat underneath it. Watching you move from "how do I even sell this" to a process where you actually started selling, and enjoying it, has been so fulfilling for me. I'm genuinely proud of you.
I love how deeply you care about the health of the people you paint for, and how the work heals you too. I'm glad we still find time for each other now and then, and I hope we get to see each other again soon.
