Whether you’re freelance, employed, or a solo creator, this episode has masses of value about making sure you’re taking charge of your work and your career.

We have a terrific conversation, including:

  • The myth of the poor, suffering artist, and why we have to say no to it
  • The legacy of ‘art as sacrifice’, and why it’s so damaging – especially for women
  • How to plan for times without paid work, and how to use them to your advantage
  • The trap that most creatives make in pricing their own work
  • Why creatives are so reluctant to negotiate prices, and what to do instead
  • When to work for free or a reduced fee, and when to say no
  • Why ‘exposure’ is the worst reason for taking on work
  • The importance of taking control of your own career, from TODAY

 

Even though I have conversations regularly with my clients about how to value and price their work, time and energy, this conversation with Anabel made me re-evaluate my own work and how I approach it.

And I ask at the end of the show – would you like a whole episode devoted to pricing your creative work? Let me know!

    A very down to earth and “most listen to” interview for artists. Being tired because of all the issues mentioned in the talk…and actually knowing a lot of the mentioned points…it is so valuable to me to hear it again- or sharing the part of “burn out” ( and I know you went for the radical step to go on a pilgrimage) it gives me hope to get through my dry time now. Ver uplifting, inspiring and so true! Thank you for sharing that! I will definitely listing to it again and again.

      I’m so glad it gives you new hope, Ernestine. Any dry period really is only for a limited time, though it can be so hard to remember. Good luck with getting your own inspiration and energy fired up again!
