212. Pushing Through Business Blocks with Guest Expert Jane Bellante
With host retail coach Wendy Batten
https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/
In This Episode:
When you are feeling stuck in your retail business or in life, what tricks do you use to change your mindset? How do you push through the blocks that feel as though they are keeping you stuck?
In this episode, I’m joined by mixed media artist, creative coach, and former client Jane Bellante to chat about all things mindset. Jane’s business has transformed over the years from a retail shop to creative coaching. Today she hosts The ArtFusion Podcast and helps retailers and creatives let go of negative thought patterns to create art and personal brands. If you need some inspiration around flipping your mindset and overcoming business blocks, this episode is for you!
“As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.” -Rumi
Just a few of the points we chat about:
- The magic of stillness
- Trusting yourself and listening to your intuition
- Tying habits to positive affirmations
- How changing your thought patterns can also change your neuropathways
- Being brave enough to let go of the things that are no longer serving you and your business
- The connection between you, your customers, and your branding (This conversation may surprise you!)
Jane also gives us great advice on seeking progress over perfection, or as I like to say, “done is better than perfect!”
What’s holding you back? How can I help? Reach out and let’s chat!

About your host, Wendy Batten
In case we haven’t met yet, I’m Wendy, a small business coach and founder of the Retailer’s Inner Circle, where I help other independent shop owners learn how to gain the right business skillsets to see more profits, paychecks, and joy as they navigate running their retail business.
Through online classes, business coaching programs, speaking, and a top-ranked podcast, I’ve helped hundreds of retailers around the globe reclaim their dreams and see the success they want from their beautiful shops. My signature private coaching community, The Retailer’s Inner Circle, has helped retailers around the world build their retail business skill sets and confidence.
I am proud to have been featured in several major publications, including my own business column in What Women Create magazine. I have been privileged to be a guest on top-ranked podcasts and sought-after as a guest speaker and teacher for several brands, associations, and communities that are passionate about the success of independent retailers.
When I’m not coaching, you will find me either DIYing and renovating my very imperfect old crooked cottage by the sea in the UNESCO World Heritage town of Lunenburg, NS, or blogging about our travel and RVing adventures and the weird fun things we get up to in our coastal village.
