Steven Pressfield wrote an eye-opening book titled, The War of Art. An appropriate sequel might be titled The War Between Art and Business.  Creatives are great at their art but they are often terrible at business. They are also the first to be taken advantage of by people who are shrewd on the business side. Creatives will work

“I was not supposed to be here this long,” David moaned.   That was part of the message I received from a new member of Total Life Freedom School, talking about his desire to get out of the career that has swallowed up his time and suffocated his creativity and finally build a business for himself.   When

Last week in the Total Life Freedom Mastermind, we had an in depth discussion on how we can be not only better connected, but also better connectors. Connectors don’t seek the spotlight.
