Making $30k a month as a designer sounds like a dream but my experience was far from that. I'm incredibly grateful to have made this income but it took a toll on my mental and physical health. In this episode, I'm sharing how I made $30K, where I went wrong, and what I plan to do in the future to avoid the same issues.

While many designers focus on honing their skills, perfecting their portfolios, and staying updated with the latest trends, there's a fundamental element they often neglect - their mindset and its direct correlation to financial success.

It's easy to dismiss mindset as a fluffy concept or something reserved for life coaches, but the truth is, it's pivotal for every profession, especially in the world of design. Why? Because mindset influences how we approach challenges, how we present our work, negotiate our worth, and even how we interact with clients. If designers don't understand this connection, they might find themselves stuck in a creative rut or, worse, undervaluing their unique contributions.

Have you ever uncharged on a project because you were so excited about working with the client? Same. Today's episode was inspired by my client with two million followers that never once mentioned my company after they rebranded and tipped me $500!! Then again, they only owed me a paid invoice.
