30 days worth of questions that you can take and use as a 30 day diagnostic for your idea, vision or business.
When you are smack dab in the middle of an idea or vision you want to bring to the forefront, you really want to hear from those who have felt the victories and the disappointments of taking such a brave leap. You want a community, inside advice with no expectations or strings attached because… well you need it.
Within these pages you will find the voices of over 40 creative entrepreneurs who run their businesses both online and in brick and mortar stores, who run workshops and sell in shows, who have a range of experiences and have been in business from 1 year to more than 25 years and who offer you no nonsense information on their processes and how they have been able to keep moving in tough economic times and how they have found a way to let good ideas go when the money was not in line with the dream. We are talking on a range of topics from collaborations to big leaps that did (and did not) come together as planned. We are talking about how to get at the soul of your business and how to stay excited about the work you offer the world.

Testimonials:
It is a treasure to read and I find myself coming back to it over and over again. It is filled with artist interviews and words of inspiration to help the artist looking for answers. I have read other works by this author and she pulls me in every time with her words of creative encouragement. I also love that it is a Kindle edition, because I carry my Kindle everywhere I go!!
