You want more money in your savings account so you can stress less in between gigs, but your inconsistent income is making it hard to consistently save money.
You want a simple way to manage your money as a freelancer, but nobody out there seems to understand your lifestyle or the financial realities of being a creative.
You book a lot of well-paid contracts, but somehow the numbers in your bank account never seem to increase.
Every time you’re on the phone with your dad he talks about how you need to budget and the importance of investing, but that just floods your brain with overwhelm and shame.

You’ve been trying to learn about money, but every book or blog you find is speaking to people who have steady paychecks and are good with numbers.
You’re motivated to pay off debt and spend 3 hours making an organized budget spreadsheet, only to abandon the plan 2 weeks later ordering your 3rd cocktail at the bar after a hard day.
You want to be a full-time artist, but

you’re terrified of leaving your current

job with steady money.
No matter how hard you try, you never seem to have any money leftover in your bank account at the end of the month.

You want to get better with money, but nothing you try seems to stick.

You want to get financially literate, but you don’t even know what you don’t know.

You want to prepare for your financial future, but you’re overwhelmed about where to start.

you want to feel creatively fulfilled and abundant with money.

I was able to invest in my career by spending money guilt-free on a new set of headshots which turned out amazing! I now have money set aside for investing in a 401k and I’m three months ahead on bills! The Money Flow Method has made managing my money so much easier. This program has helped me in numerous ways, not only financially, but in my day-to-day life. I can now say that I feel confident in my money-managing abilities and can trust myself when it comes to spending.

I am now over three months ahead on bills and made an extra $500 this month using the 3M method! I have so much more clarity, and feel so much more organized in my money. The money flow allows me to understand where I currently am financially and sees that my basic needs are totally covered. My money thoughts have transitioned out of the “money is hard” starving artist mentality and into the “money gets to be easy” cashed up identity.

I feel clear and at ease each day. I can make much stronger choices about what to do with my money. Whenever anxiety comes up I can quickly address it with effective solutions! I’m no longer avoidant of my money; I have space to focus on other things and I don't feel like I’m in survival mode all the time. This course has been beyond what I could have ever imagined, it’s way more than a financial organization course, it's a financial mindset course!

Meet Your Instructor

Brooke Benson

anti-budget money coach and your new financial cheerleader

I was a broke BFA grad having weekly panic attacks about money who turned into a financially confident Equity Actor living in NYC, on track to be a multi-millionaire in retirement and running a 6-figure business.

my secret?

I stopped budgeting, I created a simple cash flow system for fluctuating income that takes less than 1 hour a month to manage, and I worked on my money mindset.

And now I’m here to help other creatives, neurodivergents, service providers, & small business owners become Financial CEO’s of their life, business, and career.

In the first 30 days, you will have automated your bills and money goals while spending the rest of your money guilt-free using your new cash flow system for fluctuating (or consistent) income.

The first module in the curriculum is called Finances 101, and it contains all of the financial education you were never given in school. The best part? It clocks in at just under 1 hour, making every financial topic simple and quick to understand.

While going through this course, you will learn how to:

💰 Get 3 months ahead on bills

💰 Manage fluctuating income with ease

💰 Pay off debt while still taking vacations

💰 Confidently talk to your parents about money

💰 Open a retirement account & invest your first $500

💰 Always have surplus in your bank account

💰 Clear your scarcity mindset to feel abundant with money

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions that aren't covered here, you can reach out to support@notstarvingartists.com

My life is really busy right now, what if I don’t have time to do the work?

This program was built to work even if you’re in a busy season (and let’s be honest, life never really gets less busy, does it?). All the videos are under 25 minutes, so you could watch a full training while you’re riding the subway to work, and the money strategies outlined in the curriculum are built to SAVE you time.

What if I’m a service provider or have a 9-5 job? Would this work for me?

Yes, all of the strategies and mindset work I teach can still be applied if you have bi-weekly paychecks. There’s even a walkthrough video of how to create a Money Flow specifically for consistent income.

What if I’m already 3 months ahead on bills (or more)?

You will learn the next steps in getting cashed up: filling up your other savings buckets (vacations, pet emergency fund, headshots, etc), investing for retirement, paying off debt, as well as how to STAY 3 months ahead on bills.

What is your refund policy?

Because this is an online course with immediate access to all content once payment is submitted, we are unable to offer refunds for any reason.

I’ve got a wedding coming up / moving soon / haven’t booked my next gig - should I wait to join?

Waiting to join will just delay your results. Implementing these strategies now and having access to coaching will help you have the money in the bank to pay for the bachelorette weekend, move with 3 months of bills in the bank, and have your Money Flow already set up for when you get that next paycheck.

All of my income goes to my bills and I have none leftover, will this work for me?

Yes! The Money Flow Method makes it so that even an extra $10 can make an impact on getting cashed up. And with the Know Your BFF process I teach in the anti-budget money strategy module, you will be crystal clear on your numbers and the new income you want to make, and then you can get coached on the weekly call on how to make it happen.

How long do I have access the course?

Once you pay for the course, you have unlimited lifetime access! ("Lifetime" is defined as the "lifetime of the course", which is at the discretion of Brooke Benson Coaching LLC - guaranteed access for at least one year from date of purchase).
