Inspiration Comes in Many Forms
Two weeks ago, I wrote about the boost of inspiration that I expected to get from my annual pilgrimage to the Creative Freelancer Conference. As it turns out, I didn’t get what I expected. Usually I leave this conference with a to-do list that’s close to a mile and a half long. But this year,…
Inspiration, Coming Soon
Next week, I’ll be attending the 4th annual Creative Freelancer Conference in Chicago, and let me tell you, I can’t wait.

Book Review: The Creative Professional’s Guide to Money

Googling You

Do As I Say, Not As I Do
On Saturday night, I had the privilege of being part of the Freelance Success panel at the Creative Freelancer Conference. It was absolutely fascinating to be the focus of a room full of freelancers, looking to the three of us for magical answers. Of course, we don’t have magical answers. We’ve each made plenty of…
