Pay Yourself First (Even a Little)
It’s tempting to reinvest everything into your work, but saving — even in small amounts — builds stability. Treat yourself as your most important client: set aside a creative “salary” before paying anyone else.
Detach Emotion From Invoices
Asking for payment doesn’t make you pushy; it makes you professional. Be polite, be firm, and send reminders without guilt. Creativity deserves compensation, not apologies.
Summary
Financial confidence doesn’t mean mastering finance — it means designing a money system that fits your rhythm. Because the less you stress about cash flow, the more energy you’ll have for your creative flow.
