#7 Firing Freelance Masochism

When I started out as a freelance artist I just wanted my living costs to be covered so I could make art full-time. That meant I needed to make money WITH my art, right? But - f**k, I never wanted to sell myself! 
All things business and money felt a little yucky and meant for others - NOT for me. 
Convinced that in the altruistic spheres of expanded horizons money was a problematic burden I also felt entitle do being paid WELL for what I do… just because.  

I was basically resisting a system that I simultaneously resented for not providing for me. 
And yes - it was as much of a confusing struggle as it sounds like. I was basically driving with the hand break still pulled. 
On top of that everything was personal. Every opportunity granted as well as every funding that did not come through meant something about ME and was a valid judgement wether I am good at what I do or not, wether I have a place in this industry or not. 
And the pressure of the idea that without me DOING shit, the whole thing would come to a halt altogether, was crushing! 

OK! You get the picture.

Regardless if you are an artist - I know that lots of this sounds familiar to you if you are in self-employed land! 

Tune in to this weeks episode to learn how to detect those masochistic dynamics in yourself and what you could create and focus on instead. 
I compiled a fine selection of the most powerful mind-set shifts that have completely changed my relationship to work and money and allow me to create from a much more spacious, graceful and purposeful place. 
I want to show you how you can BE IN CHARGE! 

What you will learn in this episode:
- how working from an employees mindset is hurting you 
- that you are never actually paid for your time 
- why linking up your worthiness with how successful you are is a f**g toxic combination 
- what’s the difference between a freelance attitude and an entrepreneurial mindset
