Episode 11: I Lost All My Clients

The Right Questions with James Victore

If you are a stuck or frustrated creative and want to get paid to do what you love, let's talk. https://yourworkisagift.com/coaching
What happens when you decide to stop pleasing others and start honoring your true creative spirit?
Join me on a transformative journey through the highs and lows of finding my unique voice in the world of design. From the bustling streets of New York, I recount my transition from a financially successful yet creatively stifling career, where conforming to client expectations slowly eroded my artistic identity. The pivotal moment came when I bravely chose to infuse my humor and perspective into my work, even at the cost of losing clients, including my main one, Joseph. This journey is a testament to the power of authenticity and the courage it takes to resist being a people pleaser in pursuit of genuine fulfillment.
In the face of fear and uncertainty, trusting in one's creativity can unlock unparalleled success and satisfaction. I candidly share how embracing the risk of financial instability and potential career setbacks led me to a rewarding path where my creative integrity is celebrated. By pushing boundaries and staying true to myself, I discovered new opportunities and built a community that values and supports my work. I invite listeners to join the conversation by sending questions about life, work, creativity, fear, and more, as we explore the essential elements of trusting our instincts and crafting a life where passion and profession align harmoniously.
