#305: There Might Be A Good Argument For Selling Your Soul For $$$


Listen Later

Navigating life as a creative freelancer is all about balancing what you love doing with what pays the bills.

It's often framed as "selling your soul", but really, it's about making tough choices: do you follow your passion or chase the cash?

For creatives, this dilemma is pretty intense. You've got the classic 'starving artist' on one side. They're rich in satisfaction but often struggle financially.

Then there's the other side - the freelancers who focus mainly on what brings in money. Sure, they might be doing better financially, but at what cost?

This week's episode explores each side in a search for finding a healthy balance between money and passion or the seasons of life that may be the right time to focus on money instead of passion.

Whether you're the classic "starving artist" or the money-focused freelancer, this episode is worth a listen.

In this episode you’ll discover:

  • Hobbies vs businesses
  • Are you motivated by passion or profit?
  • The importance of focusing on what your clients want
  • Giving yourself more free time by being profit-driven
  • Reducing your stress by becoming a profit-driven creative
  • Why passion-driven creatives need to change
