If I’m Not Being Paid, What Am I Being Paid In?


Listen Later

You’re asked to do something for free. Or low-paid. Or “for the exposure.”
And suddenly your brain’s in a tug-of-war - generosity on one side, self-worth on the other.

In today’s 6-minute episode, we explore:
✨ Why it’s not “bad” to do unpaid work - but it has to make sense for you
✨ The questions to ask before saying yes (or no)
✨ How to define value beyond just money - without draining your energy

This is for the early-stage business builders, the generous givers, the people who want to lead with impact and honour their capacity. You don’t owe everyone a yes - and you’re still allowed to be strategic and kind.
