#337: Austin L. Church on Money Mindset, Living Well and Using Pricing as a Key Lever for Financial Prosperity as a Freelance Professional

We truly don’t talk enough about money and prosperity in the freelancing community. And that’s too bad, because the more we talk about this issue in positive and productive ways, the greater the chances our businesses will succeed.   I mean... imagine companies like Microsoft, Apple, Walmart or Ford Motor Company ignoring money discussions and decisions. It would spell disaster!   Many solo professionals avoid the topic because they were raised to believe that money is a taboo topic. Or because of other long-held beliefs about money that no longer serve them (and perhaps never have).   Or because they’re overwhelmed and not sure where or how to even start to address the issue of earning more (and more consistently), keeping more of what they earn, and giving more to causes they care about.   In this week’s episode, I’m joined by my good friend Austin L. Church, founder of FreelanceCake.com, a freelance marketing strategist and copywriter, and author of the brand new book,   We dive deep into the topic of financial prosperity and how to achieve it. Among other things, we discuss:   Where our beliefs about money come from Why most of them don’t serve us How we can achieve real and lasting financial success as self-employed professionals Why our pricing is a key lever to getting there Why reaching financial prosperity is about much more than just making more money Austin’s thoughts about the future of freelancing   The episode is packed with useful ideas and powerful reframing. I think you’ll really enjoy it.
