POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

In recent Mansfield Public art news, we’ve begun installation on our next mural, Fields of Honor!

Created by local artist Colton Canava, this meaningful artwork serves as a visual reminder that remembrance is not confined to a single day but lives on through the stories, sacrifices, and legacies of those who have served. Since the earliest observances of Memorial Day, flowers have symbolized remembrance, placed on the graves of fallen service members as expressions of gratitude and respect. Drawing inspiration from this tradition, the mural blends beauty and reflection to create a powerful tribute to veterans, their families, and our community.

We are excited to have this stunning addition to the Mansfield Public Art Program. Fields of Honor will be installed on the bridge facing E. Broad Street, next to the Veterans Memorial.

REJECTION by @coltoncanava from @cryptidtheory
Rejection isn’t the end. It’s redirection. 🔥

At the ASTA Business Mastermind, Colton Canava reminds us that every “NO” can become an opportunity to grow, pivot, and come back stronger.
For every 💯 NO : comes a maybe 🤔 or a YES 👍

In business, rejection is part of the process. The real question is: will you let it stop you, or will you use it to build something bigger?

e growth happens when entrepreneurs challenge their mindset, learn from experience, and take action.

🚀 Stop fearing rejection.

Start building resilience.

@coltoncanava of @cryptidtheory working on his second of three Arlington murals on Fielder Road last week.

I've got a few more rolls/sheets (including some color 4x5!) to process of his progression, and I'm really thankful to be capturing it. Such an awesome addition to our city.

Coming to you on Sept 15 & 16- I'm speaking at Creative Growth Summit (Free, virtual summit by @dotsanddigitsaccounting)- link in my bio:

I'm gonna tell you all about how I stopped doing sales calls and hit a $24,500 month. 🙋‍♀️

Q4 of last year I did 70 sales calls in one quarter. Coffee chats, discovery calls, "let's connect" calls. By January I was tapped and felt like an absolute failure at sales- even though I run an IG DM sales agency.

Here's what I figured out: the leads weren't ready. So I built a way to get them ready and sell without the call, in way less of my founder time.

July was my highest sales month ever. Most clients came straight through the DMs.

I'm teaching all of it at the Creative Growth Summit, Sept 15 & 16 — free, virtual, 2 days, for artists and creatives who want real systems and revenue they can count on.

Here's what you'll learn from me:

1️⃣ Your leads are already there. "If you have 100 followers on Instagram, there's leads in there. Have you talked to every single one of them?"

I'll walk you through 8+ places to find them — dead DMs, old proposals, past calls, Stories viewers.

2️⃣ Your sales content has to do the job, or you die on coffee chats lol.

The 3 carousels that sell for you when you're not around: offer, FAQs, client stories. My offer post gets 5x the views of everything else I make. Every month.

3️⃣ I can't pay you if you don't tell me the price.

The 6 places your pricing needs to live — and why "starting at" is enough.

4️⃣ The 5-Step DM sales flow. Rapport → their goals → how it's going → consent → the offer. Step 4 is the whole thing.

5️⃣ Ethical urgency. No fake countdowns. Your content already answered 99% of their questions — the truth about your calendar is the only urgency you need.

Plus a free lead tracker.

And it's not just me — 24 speakers across 2 days- check them out, all tagged in this post :)

Hosted by @dotsanddigitsaccounting 💛

📌 Live Q&A panels every day at 12pm EST — bring your real questions
📌 Free replays through Friday, Sept 18

Link in my bio to come join us! DM me any questions on how we can get you more September sales, without sales calls!
