45. If You’re Not Earning $100k You’re Not Successful

If you're not earning $100k you're not successful! Of course I don't belief that to be true. Because no one can tell you what you should be earning. But I received an email recently from a coach and mentor and to be honest it really pee’d me off. In short it implied just this... if you’re earning anything less than $100k as a designer you're underachieving. You’re just another struggling designer statistic. And I felt it was important to address everything that's not only wrong, but dangerously misleading about that statement. So in this podcast I discuss: • What's wrong in the coaching industry and the marketing constructs of 'cult coaches' • The real reason coaches talk about money and earnings... spoiler, it's not to benefit you • Why it's important to set your own financial goals • Why the revenue figure isn't what you should be focusing on I also talk very openly about my own challenge to myself as a coach and mentor and how I want to do things not only differently but much better. This is a ranty one, at times it's a raw one, because I am deeply concerned by what I see sometimes. And I want to talk about it openly because I know it's not just me.
