Ep #38 - How to POLITELY tell people you don't work for free? Friends & Family Edition

HOW TO POLITELY TELL PEOPLE YOU DON'T WORK FOR FREE?  How to deal with friends and family.  This is an "ART MONEY SUCCESS (AMS) Q&A" where I answer a question that one of my "inner circle" artists sent me by email.   Do you feel obligated to give your family & friends FREE work?  It doesn't just hurt your business, it hurts your future and your children and your finances. You train people to interact with you in a certain way.  It's up to YOU to change this expectation.  That's what we cover in this Podcast. ✅ JOIN MY INNER CIRCLE (then you can email me your questions for this Podcast) by SIGNING UP for my 11 week FREE e-course that helps artists reach $100,000/year: https://bit.ly/3zvzLHa  ✅ SEND ME YOUR QUESTION FOR THIS PODCAST:  Once you're on my list, you can hit "reply" to one of the emails I send you and send me your question for the Podcast.
