Your self worth doesn\u2019t equal what, how much, and who you\u2019re working for.\nI\u2019d be lying if I said the freelance entrepreneurial life was easy. There\u2019s definitely phases of feast and famine, slow times and busy times. I go through dry spells with work, and I wanted to share what I\u2019ve learned through these times.\n\nI\u2019ve been talking to a lot of people lately about these different periods in their careers, so I thought I\u2019d do an episode about it. Today I\u2019m giving you 6 tips on what to do during the in-betweens. These tips take work, they take proactivity, and I\u2019m not always the best at doing them. But I think they\u2019re important if you want to grow in your career and your journey.\nIt definitely takes a conscious choice to be proactive and to create when you\u2019re not doing anything.\n\nSome things we learn in this podcast:\n\n \tWhy you can\u2019t get into a funk [1:25]\n \tThe value of reading books and taking classes [2:25]\n \tThe law of attraction [3:15]\n \tWhy you have to change your outlook [3:35]\n \tGet inspired [4:15]\n \tCreate more [5:35]\n \tWhy business development is so important [7:10]\n \tWhy you have to create a work life balance [7:55]\n\nLinks mentioned:\n\n \tRead Steven Pressfield's books The War of Art and Turning Pro\n \tMusic Credit: Hey by Spire
