Community Question: Why do the things that bring me joy make the least money?

<p>A Council member's question—"Why do the things that bring me joy make me the least money?"—sparked a deep exploration of the beliefs and systems standing between creativity and profit. In this episode, Jenni unpacks two layers to this dilemma: the personal mindset patterns that shape what we believe is financially possible, and the outdated "old paradigm" tools we mistakenly apply to new, soul-driven ideas. She shares emerging archetypes for new paradigm profit—partnership, resource sharing, lowering the bar, and patronage—offering a fresh framework for building wealth without sacrificing joy.<br /><br /><b>Resources:</b></p><ul><li>Listen to the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/there-are-two-paths-ahead-the-way-of-achievement-or/id1866051318?i=1000777033956" target="_blank">recent WB episode</a> about taking one of two paths</li><li>Read <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/24453082-big-magic" target="_blank">"Big Magic"</a> by Elizabeth Gilbert<br /><br /><b>Join the WB universe:</b></li><li>Register for <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.theworldbuilders.co/theache" target="_blank">The Ache </a>to re-pattern your wealth and money beliefs ($50 off with the code GRATITUDE through end of August 2026)</li><li>Book a 1-1 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.jennigritters.com/seersession" target="_blank">Seer Session</a> with Jenni to explore ways to build and earn with joy at the center</li><li>Take the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://worldbuilders.zite.so/" target="_blank">World Builders' archetype quiz</a> to consider how you might best move with money</li><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.theworldbuilders.co/the-council" target="_blank">Join the waitlist</a> for the Earth Council, launching fall 2026</li></ul>
