The idea that "artists should be poor" or that "art and money don't mix" is not an old truth. It's a narrative fabricated in the 19th century that serves those who exploit artists. As long as you believe that charging is wrong, you accept less. And who profits? Those who hire you cheaply. What to change NOW: 1. STOP accepting free work 'for the exposure.' If the client makes money from the event, you should too. 2. STOP feeling guilty about charging. Plumbers charge. Doctors charge. Designers charge. You have a rare skill that took years to build. Charge for it. 3. SEPARATE personal finances from project finances. Treat your art as a business. With a separate account. With investment. With vision. 4. LEARN the practical side of the business. You don't need an MBA. You need: how much do I need to generate? From where? How often? The 5 numbers. The checklist. What generates results. It's simple. 5. STOP repeating the lie to others. When a colleague says 'do it for love,' remind them: love doesn't pay rent. And an artist without paid rent doesn't create in peace.
