Every chapter in this book felt like magic. For me, the first chapter was the most useful. It asked hard questions like exactly why I want to work for myself and what my current responsibilities in life are. This workbook was so helpful and really gave me much-needed focus in my creative business. Recommended By Rose H., Powells.com
