How to Calibrate to Higher Paying Clients

Working with high paying clients has little to do with

- experience
- talent
- hard work

..If this were true then my talented younger filmmaker sister would be a billionaire.

Yes it's true that hardworking and talented people have been known to make money, but also observable is those without much effort wiping out the floor.

Hard work and talent are valuable in that they serve to help us believe we are deserving of it.

Money, however, is readily available, infinite because it is a representation of value.

It doesn't discriminate.

And to calibrate to more of it, or higher paying clients, it requires us to lead the way.

Here's what I mean by that - when I decided that I was tired of always feeling bad for sending clients their invoices or following them up I realised my clients weren't about to value me the way I desired.

I had to value myself first and say "no" or ask for more.

To do this, I had to invoke the freelancer that charged higher prices in order for me to charge higher prices, just as an actor would.

An actor will study their subject and then mimic their mannerisms, tone of voice, posture, actions and behaviours and closely as possible.

This i what I practiced, again and again until I was rejecting clients that weren't at the price point I desired and refixing my price.

From the outside looking in, this was crazy behaviour because I was in no financial position to turn down a client - even a low paying one. And I was pretty fresh to the industry.

I had to talk the walk and felt like a massive imposter.

But the more I practiced the invocation within my being, the more my reality began to change.

iI you're trying to make this leap yourself remember that you must lead the way. You are the ripple that reality responds to.

YOU have to take the first step, ALWAYS.

The gap between will fill in the moment you do.

"What we know is that your states determine your actions and behaviors" - I would really challenge you on this, as a PhD whose research focus is on consciousness, philosophy, cosmology and depth psychology. Our actions and behaviors are determined by the unconscious as well as the RAS. I'm not sure what you mean by 'states' - our emotional states? Those are largely determined by our REACTION to a given stimuli, event, etc. and our reaction to that is set by our RAS, which filters out over 99% of the billions of data we get every single second. And THAT is determined by the UNCONSCIOUS beliefs, fears, etc. that we have, which are based on our life experiences from PRE-BIRTH onwards. To go even further, there are several layers of our energy body where thoughts, memories, emotions, etc. exist (and all of that is just energy and information). There are different ways to transmute this energy, including thoughts you thought in the 'past' (which exists simultaneously with the present and the future). Anyway, just wondering what you mean by 'our states' and who is the 'we' that knows this? Thanks for some clarity.
