Blumer webinar on-demand! Freelancing and money.
How your money story risks sabotaging your success.
Watch now!
Freelance consultant Jane Curtis delivered an insightful training session focused on money mindset and pricing in the world of charity freelancing. The session tackled the unconscious beliefs many freelancers hold about money and how these can affect everything from pricing to confidence.
Key takeaways:
- Freelancers’ money stories often stem from their childhood experiences, cultural norms, and narratives within the charity sector.
- The gender pay gap in freelancing is stark – women charge, on average, 43% less than men.
- Our nervous systems are wired for safety, not growth, meaning money conversations can trigger real physical stress.
- Tools like EFT tapping, affirmations, and visualisation exercises can help shift limiting beliefs.
- Project-based pricing and value-led negotiation can improve confidence and income.
Next steps:
Jane encourages you to review their income patterns over the past 3–5 years to identify plateaus and trends, and to begin gently expanding their ‘safe zone’ around money. Reflecting on the beliefs and behaviours behind those patterns is a valuable first step towards building greater financial confidence.
