How you feel about money affects the level of comfort you have when costing your services & products, selling, chasing payments, negotiating rates... you get the picture - The feels affect the bottom line basically.
There is this script, whether we’re aware of it or not, which is always there. It works — and often succeeds — to prevent us from creating work and a life that is truly ours. It is a negative, toxic force that keeps us stuck and makes us sad. The existential crisis. The creative crisis.
As a creative person, more often than not what you are communicating will be highly nuanced and complex. It’s not a given that email communication saves time. And it’s not a given that email is the best way to communicate. Your creativity requires time because you are exchanging ideas and concepts.
We can’t nip a creative process in the bud and we can’t press fast forward on it either. We have to meet ourselves exactly where we are in the process, with honesty, patience and compassion.
