You certainly deserve every bit of abundance! You don't have to struggle with your gifts and natural talents!! My thoughts are that if you charge too low, you will attract customers who are not going to appreciate your value. That does not mean that you charge sky high either. It is important to strike a balance.

Have you tried working on some of your money beliefs yet? My thoughts are that some of yours can be addressed rather quickly. I am not sure if you have my free report on money beliefs that I have been distributing for some time. Send me an email if you wish to receive it!

Thanks for the link love!

Take care,

Dont care what other's say, you can please everyone so dont bother. Dont waste your life thinking all the negative stuffs. Take a deep breath, thank whoever you think gave you this life and enjoy every minutes that you are in it! Trust me there are many people out there cant live let alone be miserable about themselves.

I realise I need to implement threaded comments but I hope this will do for now:

@Adrianna:
Each time I face a fear about travelling, I think about you in Yemen. Gives a 180 deg twist to the entire perspective. :p Perhaps we pursue so much more than just money – sometimes putting a dollar value seems to cheapen the ideals and passion. But yes, that doesn't mean it should have a low value as well. I should grow out of that mentality.

@Adii:
So glad to see you here! Maybe it is because you're surrounded by creative types – we tend to be pretty harsh on ourselves because we pursue growth and improvement consciously. However, in the society I live in, there are plenty of people who avoid asking themselves questions in order to feel 'better' when they ignore their dreams in exchange for practical comforts. Sometimes it is difficult for me not to get affected when am constantly surrounded by people like that. Believe it or not, I still get raised eyebrows when I tell people I'm an independent designer (*gasp! no real job*). But yes, I recognise and I am grateful that I am aware of my own issues, that is always the first step to grow out of them.

@ukstoner:
It is great to see you here as well! :) Thank you very much for your encouragement. I actually like to ask myself, "Will I regret not doing this if my life is going to end tomorrow?", just that sometimes we tend to get caught up in practicalities and forget that life is really too short to be unhappy.

@Irene:
yup, I'll seek out that book the next time at the book store. It is not easy to overcome many years of conditioning – but we both know it is do-able. :) It requires a lot of patience though – something I really need to build up on.

@Aen:
I always feel comforted when I refer jobs to you because I know they will be well taken care of, so you're doing me a favour instead. :) Am always open to collaborations, especially with peers like you. And yup, it took me eight jobs to realise that I don't belong to bureaucracy-laden offices and forcing myself to be in one. Am just glad I have gotten out of that!

I have just started a full-fledged design agency and my approach is collaborative. You can read more about it at http://blog.coma.sg/knowledge/principals-and-partners/. If I asked, would you be interested in working together in future?

People like you don't belong to bureaucracy-laden offices.
