Great article, Alyson! I’m a new reader, and I’m really enjoying what I see so far.
When it comes to business relationships, I think many people focus on the business and forget about the relationship. In the end, it doesn’t matter whether you’re talking about love, friendship, or business, no one likes feeling used.

This was a helpful reminder, and I believe will make it easier to approach galleries.

In reply to Alyson Stanfield.

It is a fear I have been working on for most of my life but despite advances I have yet to completely overcome it. I mostly just grit my teeth and force myself. It is painful.
Perhaps the reason you don’t understand how sharing control is scary is because you have never experienced some one else having control over you and hurting you in a very fundamental way.
