WITH ANDREA CRISP
“So it’s important that you get clear on what it is that you desire, and then you make it intentional in your life. And you show up in the energy of that expectation of that manifesting.”
About This Episode:
Today I want to speak specifically to my creative friends. And if you think that as an entrepreneur you are not creative, then think again. So often as creatives (artists, musicians, designers, writers, actors) we feel as though we have to accept what the world says we are worth -- so today I want to share with you how you can move away from that 'starving artist' mindset to more of an 'abundance mindset'.

Are you someone who considers yourself a creative or a multi passionate entrepreneur? Today, I want to speak to all of my creative friends. And just in case you're wondering, if you're an entrepreneur, then you are likely a creative, you just may not know it. So often our creatives, the people who associate themselves as creatives are artists, musicians, designers, writers, speakers, actors, podcasters coaches. So, if you are one of those people, then you got to stay tuned for today's episode. Because oftentimes we feel that when we're being creative, we have to accept what the world says we're worth. And today I want to bust through the myth that you have to live as a starving artist, so that you can start moving towards embodying a mindset of abundance. Hey, friend, are you ready to take courageous steps to create a life and business you love? Welcome to the courage cast. I'm Andrea crisp, mindset coach, author, and a multi passionate entrepreneur.

Now I coach women across the globe who are ready to own their life and make a massive impact. Each week I'll share conversations with amazing humans who have been willing to face their fear and pursue their purpose. I'll provide a blend of practical and spiritual advice to help you take brief steps in your own life and business. Hey there, welcome to the courage cast. My name is Andrea crisp, and I am so excited to be here with you today. It is a Friday. Here I am on a podcasting recording binge. Right now I'm super excited because I'm bringing you two brand new episodes. Last week, I shared with you all about how to step in to that CEO boss energy. And today I want to talk to you about becoming a more confident performer. And maybe you're like, Well, I don't really perform. So I don't know if this is a really a good episode for me, well, let's put it this way, if you're creative, if you're somebody who is sharing their gifts with the world, then in some way, shape or form, you are also a performer. So I want to talk about the mindset that we need, when we are stepping into that confidence when we are really showing up in our value and our worth. And for many, many years, as a musician, I did a ton of stuff for free. Because while I thought people expected me to I sang at weddings and funerals and events, I would like way discount prices for certain things because it was either asked or expected of me. And it was just something that I did. And to be quite honest with you, I really felt like I that was what I deserved. That was you know, kind of how the gigs went, you know it as a musician, you really didn't get paid what you're worth. And it wasn't until I really started to become a coach and started to understand the full realization of our worth and value when it comes to standing in our power that I recognized, like maybe where I had gone wrong in my own creative life, and how much I had missed out on opportunities. Maybe some regrets that I had, and maybe some feelings of like even bitterness and like resentment for not feeling like I had been renumerated Well, in my own life. So those feelings made me feel as though I wasn't bringing value that I wasn't able to truly show up as someone who had a gift to offer the world. And honestly, that kind of internalized.
And what ended up happening was I internalized those feelings I internalized my own perception of what I thought people were doing. And I had this belief that I wasn't good enough that I was not valuable that what I had to offer was not something that people really truly wanted or were willing to pay for. And when I became a coach that carried over that carried over into my coaching business because I had this underlying money mindset that really kept me from believing I was worthy of charging more in my life, you're like, Well, how does that really impact being a confident performer? Like, here's how it impacts it, when we don't value ourselves, and when we are not living out of an abundance mindset, we can't truly show up in the confidence that we desire, and really give 100% of what we have to give to the world. Because we're in this mindset of lack, that there needs to be more that we need to be doing more, being more, because for some reason, we're not enough. So when you're in that mindset of lack, there's always this like, you know, there will never be enough to go around, I'm never gonna make the money I want to make people just are always trying to use me that are getting a respect for what I do, I feel devalued. I'm never going to make enough money to even survive, or to pay my bills, or to do any of those things. And so, if you are feeling that way, then it is entirely possible, you are in a mindset of lack. And what we want to do when we are moving into becoming more confident and standing in our power, is shifting that. So that you are standing truly, truly, truly, in a mindset of enough and of abundance. And more than enough, really. So how do you do that? That's the big question, right? Like people like, Well, what do I do? How do I actually shift this mindset? What what's the process? So the very first thing is you want to identify what is the limiting belief or the story, the perception that you've been carrying, and that has been holding you back from putting yourself out into the world, or from making a shift or a change, or for you know, telling someone Hey, listen, you know, I am upping my prices, or this is how I'm going to start doing things. When you are really standing in your power, you are not afraid of what people are going to think you're not afraid of whether or not they're going to be like, Okay, well, I guess, you know, I'll go to somebody else or, because if that person does, and obviously like that, you know, it's time for you to move on anyways. So you want to identify where did that mindset originate? What was the limiting belief behind that, so that you can start to shift that mindset. Now, one of the ways to do this, like oftentimes, people talk about affirmations, or mantras, or just believe differently, but here's the thing, friend, these are rooted deep rooted subconscious beliefs that happened probably many, many years ago. And our reach triggered every time something similar happens, you feel the same way you felt maybe when you were seven, and you didn't feel like you were enough. And in order to shift those beliefs, you have to go to the root to the time where you experienced it for the first time and uproot the belief. Replace the mindset so that you can start living out of a whole new paradigm.
And last week, on the podcast, we talked about paradigms, we talked about what is that a paradigm is a new way of believing a new way of living for years, you probably have lived a certain way because of a belief you had. Well, now you have a new belief. So you need to create what it is that you want and live out of that. So the best way to do that is to really get into the science of it of the neuroscience. And really to shift those beliefs. You can use things like the neuro cycle, you can use NLP. But I would recommend when you are doing this mindset work that you are working with somebody who knows what they're doing, and can help you not only shift the belief, but integrate that into your life, so that it becomes something that you are consistently moving yourself forward in. The second thing I would say when you're in this, you know, mindset of lack or you're feeling as though you can't be confident, you want to embody that new mindset. It's like what I just shared in the first one, which is, is really stepping into a new paradigm. So when you're embodying a new mindset, you're showing up in a whole new way. And there are often times where resistance will hit you like a ton of bricks and all of a sudden you're like, oh my gosh, like this keeps coming up and that keeps coming up. It's like one test after another and you're like it just would be easier to go back to the old belief because that's where my comfort zonas that's where I was. But when you're embodying a new way of being a new paradigm, it's so important that you have the structure and accountability for you to be able to move in the direction that you truly desire to go to be in the embodiment of this new belief. So it's important that you get clear on what it is that you desire, and then you make it intentional in your life. And you show up in the energy of that expectation of that manifesting. And that happening. And manifesting is not just like sitting back and letting something happen all the time manifesting does require us to, to take action. But it's almost, I think it's funny, because people are like, Well, is it just, you know, allowing what's allowing, but it's also being in partnership with the Divine and allowing the divine to work through you. And you're partnering. So you know, manifesting, you're doing it together, you're bringing it to being together? Anyways, I digress. Okay. Number three, live out of this new mindset. So set boundaries around what you will and will not do from this point forward. Say yes to what completely lights you up. Many people say, if it's a full body, yes, then do it. And if you're not sure, then this may take a little work. I mean, for me, I was not entirely sure how I felt if it was a full body. Yes. So I think sometimes it just really takes a little bit of time for you to step into that new mindset and really live it out. And then stay in that, that mindset of abundance. And that could mean you know, being around people and around a support system that is that new level for you, and is moving you in the direction that you truly, truly want to be going.
So if you're somebody who is a creative, if you're somebody who is living their life, putting their gifts, their talents, their art into the world, friend, it is so important that you are creating in your life, a mindset of abundance, so that you can call in opportunities, so that you can call in what it is that you desire. Maybe it's new gigs, maybe it's the payment for what it is that you truly want to be doing. So that you're not feeling as though you're being used or you're being devalued. But it's really up to you to shift that for yourself and step into the embodiment of being someone who is calling in abundance in their life, and really has the confidence to speak up for themselves to really stand in their power. And in the VIP experience that I've created, there is a track where we just focus solely on this. For creatives for people who are multi passionate entrepreneurs, or people who are putting their gifts into the world that feel as though well maybe people don't get what I'm doing. As someone who has been a multi passionate entrepreneur and a performer and a musician for many, many years, I truly understand the mindsets, the blocks that that one can face when they are trying to move into this place of abundance and and to really embody a new paradigm. So with a new VIP experience, I created a track that is solely for creatives solely for people who are wanting to elevate their confidence. And all of their confidence is going to be really rooted in enoughness or abundance. And really what it is that you believe to be true about yourself and your life. So if you are in a place in your life where you're like, This is me on a call and more income, I want to call in more opportunities. I want to call in more of what lights me up so that I can stay in this and I can truly outwork my passion and my creativity. I want to encourage you to set up a discovery call with me. And let's talk about what that would look like for you specifically, maybe what blocks you're facing, and see how this could truly transform your mindset and truly help you embody a new way of being so that you can create what it is that you truly desire in your life, through your art and through your creativity. Friend I love hanging out with you. I'm excited To jump into a long weekend. If you want to know more about the VIP days, go to Andrea crisp.ca forward slash VIP.
