There are few things more nerve wrecking for a creative business owner than trying to set and get your rates. It’s hard to not feel like it’s tied to your self worth, your art’s worth… oh and it’s also your livelihood. Talk about messing with your nervous system!  It can feel even harder when you realize there is no “industry standard.”  In the first Get Shamele$s workshop in the Creatives Thrive NYC series, we’ll help you:

• Calculate your ideal and minimum rates, including how to account for benefits and unpaid time

• Give you tools and language to understand how your relationship with money connects to negotiating and asking for more

• Practice negotiating and asking for your rates

• Create guidelines for how and when to use sliding scale models

We’re just going to say it - office hours can feel awkward. You feel embarrassed if you don’t have any questions, you feel embarrassed that your questions don’t sound “smart enough,” and so no one goes. We invite you to lean into this feeling and just come to our Community Hour - come with no questions, come with questions that seem completely unrelated to finance, come with personal questions that you’re going to private chat to us while we read it anonymously and gush about how good the question was. Community Hour is a place for us to be together, in this moment, and hold space for all the confusion, fear, shame, and heaviness so we can lighten each other’s load.

Money is emotional and having a budget is great, but doesn’t account for the storms that come, our ever changing needs, and our personal values. Uncover your current relationship with money and learn how to align your spending with your values and have more agency over where you spend your money. Create a spending plan that gives you the freedom to spend money on things you love while also taking care of your needs. Learn how to prove to yourself that WANTS ARE NEEDS TOO and yes, you do deserve nice things.

We’re just going to say it - this is the workshop that everyone signs up for but no one shows up for. We all have debt and we all think we’re the only ones who have it. The reality is, the credit and debt system is designed to keep you in their game for as long as possible. And the big cloud over this whole system is the blame and shame we’ve been fed because we “should have known better.” We’ll show you how the entire country systemically got pushed into debt and how you can manage your debt and still have a life.
