Today I'm chatting about the reality of booking high ticket clients and why it may not be the best path for every designer. I share my personal experiences with high ticket projects, and how I quickly learned that it was no longer a goal I wanted to reach.

THE CONFESSION:

"I really hate the “you have to book $10k+ clients” mindset. I DO think that designers need to charge their worth and that we need to elevate our industry, but it’s not always all about the money. Some of us are quite happy sitting in a middle tier if it means less anxiety and better work life balance. It’s not all about the dollar amount. And TBH really high ticket projects can be stressful AF." - ANONYMOUS LISTENER

Everything discussed in this podcast episode is my personal experience and opinion; not fact.

Today I was joined by Liz Mosley to talk all about rejection in your business. Liz created her 'Rejection Challenge', a fun challenge allowing her to reach out for more opportunities than she normally would and embracing rejection as a normal part of running a business.

Today's Creative Confession: "I saw a TikTok of a designer going into their local stores to market their graphic design services - and I want to do this, but I'm worried that the store owners will laugh or straight up ignore me."

THIS WEEK'S CONFESSION:

"I used to be so sure about certain tools and strategies in my business. I’d even go out of my way to recommend them to everyone I knew, convinced they were the best options. But recently, I’ve been rethinking a lot of my choices. t’s uncomfortable to feel like I was 'wrong' before."

Let's talk about changing your mind as a freelance designer.

Today's Creative Confession is a long one, but it's all about how a fellow designer was "bullied into oblivion by other creatives" when they started out as an artist and designer because they worked on a freelance platform

Is it all bad? Let's talk about it.

In this episode of Brand Your Brain, we discuss the struggle of choosing a career path. Joined by Czarcee of CzarCreates, who balances a law degree with freelance design, we address this anonymous confession:

"ive always been creative and I want to pursue design but I feel like I can’t. I’m studying psychology and I’ve been doing it for a few years. I’m worried that I can’t do both or will disappoint people if I try to build a creative career instead of following through with my plan to get a degree. I think you mentioned studied psychology so any feedback helps"
