The Serve-First Trap: Why I Almost Monetized Myself Into Burnout (And How You Can Avoid It)

2

Are you giving away your best work for free while struggling to pay the bills? You're not alone. In this episode, we dive deep into the "serve-first trap" - why good intentions can lead to bad business decisions, and how you can create sustainable income without sacrificing your values, rest, or productivity.

Key Takeaways:

The Serve-First Trap: Giving everything away for free isn't generous - it's unsustainable and ultimately serves no one well.

Money as a Tool: Revenue isn't about greed; it's about creating the resources needed to serve sustainably and reach more people.

Stewardship Over Service: Your talents and gifts require responsible stewardship, which includes valuing them appropriately.

Boundaries Create Better Service: When you charge appropriately, you can be selective about clients and show up as your best self.
