WARRIOR OF URSULA
Do you ever worry that you’re charging too much for your services? If you’re like many Creative Warriors, you do. So many times creatives lack self-worth. They discount themselves so much, that in the end even their clients don’t value them as much as they should. Instead of acting like an item on the clothing rack of Walmart, think of yourself as a limited edition item at Louis Vuitton.

WARRIORS OF PAST EXPERIENCE & DETACHMENT
Public speaking is people’s #1 greatest fear. But why are we so scared of it? Is it because we’re afraid to be judged by others or is it because we aren’t passionate about the ideas we’re speaking about?

Your desire to spread knowledge and awareness is felt by the audience, neutralizing the fear of judgement.
