Let's be real for a second: if you're spending the majority of your waking hours in a negative state of mind because you loathe your "job," you're doing it wrong. Whether you're trying to build a community, a brand, or a fat bank account, your relationship with work determines if you're actually living or just suffering through the grind. I've had the "abusive" relationships with work where I ran myself into the ground, and I've had the ones that left me energized and satisfied. Today, I'm showing you exactly how to brainwash yourself into the latter. Listen in as I share the three principles that keep me from procrastinating and keep the energy flowing without the "slimy, stinky forceful tricks" we're taught to use for productivity. We're diving deep into why your zone of genius is usually the thing you're currently discounting because it feels too "easy". It's time to stop half-assing your commitment to your dreams and start choosing the discomfort that's actually worth it. Here's a glance at what you'll learn from me in this episode: The Discomfort Reality Check: Why you're already uncomfortable doing things you hate, so you might as well be uncomfortable for what you love. Enjoyment > Results: How prioritizing fun and ease actually creates a more sustainable, "timeless" work-life balance and a raving fan base. The "Perfectionist" Trap: Why pressure and worry are actually obstructing your superpowers and how to use deadlines without the cortisol spike. Creative Immunity: The secret to keeping your passion alive even when the money starts rolling in. People Mindset: Why money isn't a living thing and why your relationship to people is the only mindset that matters for your bank account. Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction 00:34 – Redefining the relationship you can have with work. 03:22 – What I actually live for. 04:35 – Principle #1. 08:51 – The "Starving Artist" narrative vs. inevitable success. 09:50 – Principle #2. 12:12 – My sabbatical and closing a multi-seven-figure business. 15:43 – Why what's "easy" for you is actually your most valuable gift. 18:20 – Coming out of the closet as a creativity teacher. 20:27 – Principle #3. 23:07 – Ditching your "Money Mindset" for a "People Mindset". 25:01 – Why a personal brand is a lifelong project, not a 30-day sprint.

If you've ever struggled with sharing your story or felt uncomfortable selling your work, this conversation will help you approach both with more clarity and confidence.

Is suffering really a prerequisite for great art? We've all heard the stories of broke geniuses creating masterpieces in drafty attics. But is the starving artist myth just a convenient excuse to underpay and undervalue creative people? In this episode, we'll explore the critical difference between helpful constraints and the soul-crushing anxiety of true scarcity. We'll talk about the "bandwidth tax" on creativity and ask a tough question: how much brilliant art is the world losing simply because the artist can't afford to pay their rent?

In the 2nd half of my talk with Nadja Shafton Marks, transformative artist and creative mystic, she shares how to silence the inner critic and how to get PAID for your art.  What she said was like a therapy session for my starving artist within. I was/am a talented artist who was constantly told I would not get paid to create, and that I would have to "get a real job" to survive. And I did what I was told. I got hella educated and loved what I did. But the truth is that we all return to the truest version of ourselves as we evolve, and for you that truest version might be ARTIST.

Musician & Entrepreneur: Do This So You Don't Have to be a Starving Artist [Courageously Speaking]#CourageouslySpeaking with Maria: In a world that equates pursuing music to becoming a "starving artist," this episode of Courageously Speaking challenges that notion with multifaceted musician and entrepreneur, Patrick Worley. From his time as a backing musician in Nashville to building a thriving business in Las Vegas, Patrick proves two main things:1) You can thrive as an artist if you do it right (luck is good but since it's rare, try hard work and strategy) and2) Time is not the hours you have but how you spend themDiscover how he merged his classical training with business acumen, and why for any creative, show business is more about the business than the show.​IG: ‪@sickofthepick‬www.musiclessonslasvegas.comhttps://patrickworley.com/This podcast is an original production of Courage Creatives, filmed at the PHLV Radio studios in Las Vegas.Link to Courage Creatives: www.couragecreatives.comBroadcast Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this episode are those of the guests and hosts and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Courage Creatives or PHLV Radio.#MusicIndustry #CreativeJourney #FilipinoVoices #CourageCreatives #ArtAndBusiness #PodcastHighlights #DiasporaDialogues #PinoyPower

Are you tired of the old myth that being an artist means being broke?In this solo episode, I take on the “starving artist” mindset that holds so many talented photographers back—and gives you fresh ways to flip the script.Whether you're struggling to charge what you're worth, feel crushed by rejection, or stuck believing you need to be “perfect” to make money, this episode is for you. Questions to Ask Yourself from This Episode:What if you could see your photography as a product—not a reflection of your soul?Could rejection actually have nothing to do with you or your art?Are you pricing your time like someone who values it?What if “good enough” really is good enough to succeed?Is your style actually as important as you think—or is it more important to create what clients love?Are your technical skills strong and repeatable enough to inspire confidence and joy in your clients?And most importantly…what would change if you believed that you deserve to thrive? I dig deep to offer you encouragement, challenge yourself and your past ideas about success, and practical mindset shifts to help you stop undervaluing yourself and start building a business that supports both your creativity and your bank account.Connect with Photography Business Coach Luci Dumas: Website Email: luci@lucidumas.comInstagram FacebookYouTubeNew episodes drop every week — make sure to subscribe so you never miss an inspiring guest or a powerful solo episode designed to help you grow your photography business.
