10: Enhance Your Creativity by Improving Your Money Mindset

The Creative Drift

As creatives and artists, we’re sometimes made to feel like we have so many rules to follow in order to be respected by other people. We’ve all heard the narrative of the starving artist - and it seems to me as though if you make money doing what you love, you’re seen as a sellout or “not a true artist” and that you should be living paycheck to paycheck, waiting for your big break. This is such a toxic mindset and truly does not allow you to live your best creative life, when you are so concerned about making enough money each month to make ends meet.

In this episode, I’m going into why I think strengthening your money mindset and opening yourself up to multiple streams of income is so important in order to be as creative and aligned as possible. When you aren’t worrying about where your next meal is coming from, you can wait for those big projects that really light you up and excite you, allowing you to do anything you want in life, from traveling the world, raising a family - the choice is yours.

Dive into today’s episode if you still believe that you can’t make money doing what you love!

In this episode, I’m chatting about:

• Money mindset and how to open yourself up to more money
• The way that social media has changed business for creatives
• Journal prompts for helping you choose another income stream
• Why creatives need to allow themselves space to do the things that light them up
