Heart-centered Creatives and Artists: having money, earning what you are worth, doesn't mean you will soar off to happiness, but money sure helps to build the runway. Read:
For three decades+, I (Sean Buvala) have heard this phrase from nearly every single creative, coach, author, speaker, healer, or teacher I have coached...
Artist and Creative, So...
...family can't support your dreams anymore?
...you think "selling" is sleazy but you've got bills?
...you had to take a "real job" that you hate?
... you're kinda' mad that your audience doesn't "get it?"
....suffering from "Impostor Syndrome?"
...you accept the lie about "starving artists?"
...totally lost on "what do I do now?"
"How much should I charge?"
My answer,
“Choose a charity where you give freely of your time, talent, and treasure and then for everyone else, charge what you are worth."
Earning what you are worth, while generously building the world through your art, performances, coaching, or other special gifts is a path to joy and wholeness.
Money isn't evil; It's a tool, an exchange of energies, a way to see and understand the world.
However, fellow Creative, If you are honest with yourself,
...can all be a part of our Mindset when it comes to money and "how much should I charge?"
A Tiny Story About Money
I remember once a conversation between family members that happened in a December "giving" season. I’m gonna protect the identities of Mr. and Mrs., but you’ll get the idea.
The Mr., who was good-enough financially, said that he disliked giving "just money" as a gift. "It's so impersonal. I prefer to give 'real' gifts instead. People have money all the time, right?”
The Mrs. (who was a very practical person) told Mr. that many of the rest of the family did not have the money freedom that Mr. had. The life choices of many people were limited because they did not have the cash flow to take care of life's needs.
She said, “To many people, money means FREEDOM, a true gift, to do whatever the receiver needed to do.”
Of course, Mrs. was correct. She usually is.
In that year, Mr. and Mrs. gave a lot of cash to family members. :-)
As a performing artist, author, speaker, healer, teacher: being properly compensated for your work means more FREEDOM to research, create, learn, and give on your own terms, deep within your own truth.
Money means something as simple as paying your bills, not worrying about the rent or house payment, not fearing the next breakdown of your car...or breakdown of your mental and physical health for that matter.
I get it. This talk of money might make you tense. You aren't Scrooge. Your very nature as a Creative suggests that you care about others, their needs, and their place in the world. But, Scrooge made a choice to hoard, to gather surplus for surplus sake. That is NOT what you want to do. That is NOT what we are talking about today.
Nothing I am saying says you should hoard your money in a little tin box or sit upon a throne of gold.
I'm not hoarding money and we set aside a percentage of our income as charitable giving. The FREEDOM to give back to our community comes from when we charge what we're worth.
However, many of you have very little freedom as you are tied to the vagaries of cash flow, thinking that you have to rely on the scraps and bits that you can get from your audiences and clients.
It's in your very nature to give, to help, and to be a resource. But what is that costing YOU and your life?
Maybe you've heard that money becomes a MASTER of your life? If you start charging what you are worth, will you become the servant of money? Bluntly, money isn't a problem when you intentionally choose to not let it control you. Money is a tool. Use it to build, not to destroy.
However, I do think you are serving a Master now. That Master is DISTRACTION- and it's caused by financial insecurity.
DISTRACTION is a terrible monster and you will contain it by having more control over your finances.
I get that. But you aren't always growing, are you?
Your relationship with money might be stunting your growth. You’re stunted by...
...memories in your head that taught you money is bad.
...reality in your life worried about the next house payment or rent.
...the guessing game about your car may or may not get you to your next destination.
..."what if" scenarios about the current situation in world health.
..."healthcare" (for my fellow USA citizens) feeling like an expensive crapshoot every day.
...feelings of anxiety as to what "others will say" if you start treating your work more professionally and with confidence.
First off, let’s be clear. We’ve all seen the memes on social media, right? Making art for art’s sake is valuable in and of itself. It is right. It is good. Make art. Getting paid the big moola is not always the goal of the Creative and that is fine. Art alone is enough.
But that is not why you are reading this. You need a better grip on your ability to produce income. If making a living at making art or coaching is a goal for you, then read on some more.
If you intend to have people to pay you for your work as a creative (author, speaker, healer, performer, coach, or teacher) then you need to bring unique value to your audience and SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS with your work.
People pay to have their problems solved. They are ready to exchange money for your time and expertise. What do they need?
That’s just a random list. What do you do that SOLVES PROBLEMS or FILLS NEEDS? Learn to answer that, to gaze first on the needs of your audience, and the answer to “what am I worth” will become clearer.
If you are distracted, stunted, and controlled by your mindset about money, you are correct- you can’t do that. FIX THAT MINDSET and your comfort level grows. FIX THAT MINDSET and your ability to use your Creative Gift to help others will GROW exponentially. You can do it. Learn to responsibly charge what you are worth and start to improve the lives of others...and your own family.
