Creatives, stop selling yourselves short! The key to success isn’t just talent—it’s leverage. Your skills, your body of work, and for some, your audience, are what give you power.

If a company’s priority is profit, why shouldn’t your priority be YOU? Stock prices go up, but so should your worth. If they’re cutting costs, don’t let it be at your expense. Walk away when it stops serving you, and don't stay where you’re undervalued.

Before you sign anything, ask yourself: Do I have leverage? If not, you’re giving away your power. Your talent is your currency. Protect it. Build leverage. Never settle for less than you're worth.
