I am an artist. I do not work for free. THE BREAKDOWN This is for all of my entrepreneurs ❤️ What does it mean? It means this... As an entrepreneur, I am a walking business. I work passionately from when my eyes open until they shut and I even dream about it, so that means 24 hours per day. And since I do work 24 hours per day, I am always on the clock. Always! ...kind of like when you get paid hourly for clocking in and out, actually just like that. My time is very valuable to me and apparently to you, especially when you call me to seek advice about my speciality. I am approachable because I love what I do. I eat sleep and breathe my passion. Thats the beautiful thing about being a full time artist. However, I do not like to be taken advantage of. When you get your paycheck in the corporate world, as I did for a few years, your employer doesnt ask you for a discount in your check. If she/he did, you would flip. Thats the same way that I feel when you automatically ask me for a discount. You provide a service-for me thats pouring out my heart with every interaction-so you expect the energy exchange (dollars, coins, trade) to be of equal value. Guess what?!? So do I! If you were to go to a shoe store and couldnt afford the pair of shoes that you desired, youd just have to suck it up and buy a different pair OR come back when you can exchange the value. The same applies for me. Many businesses have been developed primarily to exchange lower quality for lower exchange and you are always welcome to invest with them. If thats your goal, if quality isnt your top priority, those businesses were designed specifically to meet that need! My art is not a hobby! This is my life! I live to share it with you. I have responsibilities just like you do and I expect for you to understand that truth. When you dont, secretly, it hurts my feelings because Ive offered you all of me at that specific moment. Shhhh! But dont tell anyone that. I love what I do, art is my life. It flows through my veins just like the air that I breathe. I require that you respect that as I invite you into the innermost parts of my soul. I am an artist. I love what I do. I do not work for free.
