Money is a blunt incentive. A way of getting commitment when you don’t have a deeper connection to the cause. Like salt, fat, and sugar in cooking, it is the easiest thing to grab at. To turn to more as the default answer. My preference is to get to a point where you take money off the table. If you think of money anxiety as temporary waves, used to push us one way or the other, then stillness allows you to focus on what is truly important and worth identifying with. You don’t want to identify with money. You do want to identify with your purpose. This means internalising disciplines. Internalising ambition. Internalising decision making. Creating buffers to absorb the waves, and engines to power your creativity.
