[Lisa} was able to help me get my priorities in line and start being a CEO and not just a worker. In the course of the time that we've worked together, I have more than doubled my business. I made more in February than I did in all of 2015. And she has given me so much motivation and support, and I always feel like my work with her helps me be so much more efective, and better at being the leader, the coach, and the therapist that I want to be." - Dr. Liz Powell, Founder, SexPositivePsych.com "Creative Freedom is just the right balance of reality checks and encouragement for someone just starting out or fguring out how to keep going! While other authors tend to focus on the glamorous parts of being an entrepreneur to sell the dream and lifestyle (perhaps also to pat themselves on the back if only a little), Lisa gives you a more accurate view and allows you to decide if that's the road and life for you, then shows you how to achieve it." - Mr. Francis Lora, LCSW-R, Founder and CEO of So Grand!- Your Source of Guidance and Resources for Autism and Neuro-Diversity “Here’s what I want to say about Lisa: She’s awesome. She has a tremendous heart and sense of caring, that comes out in wanting to roll up her sleeves and get things done. She also has a sophisticated, fun, open-hearted sense of marketing, with a lot of experience behind her. She gets the vision. She gets strategy. She gets the caring and love in taking care of the itty-bitty details…you can trust her…to care for your heart and your business.” – Mark Silver, M. Div., CEO, Heart of Business, Inc. “Lisa’s strength lies in spontaneously and accurately seeing a project (whether hers or someone else’s) from a bigger picture view and then focusing like a laser beam on exactly what and how to improve or advance that project. The frst time I spoke with Lisa regarding a project I was working on, I was struck by her instant understanding of what I needed and her intuitive sense of which direction I should move in. In short, Lisa is a brainstorming genius and brings a sharp, creative and spontaneous element to whomever she’s coaching. I highly recommend you work with Lisa if you’ve hit a wall and need to move your ideas forward in new and creative ways.” – Julie Anne Jones, CEO, Julie Anne Jones, Inc. “Lisa is stunningly efective. She has a unique talent for bringing out the talents of others, and motivating people to take real action.” – Mark Joyner, #1 Bestselling Author and Founder of Simpleology "Lisa brings insight and knowledge that can help with reorganizing and relaunching with an eye toward balance and specifc goals. This chicky knows what she's talking about. If not for implementing her input, we surely would have lost Hearth Strings at a time we were battling evil that was intent on destroying our business and our family. Don't wait til you hit bedrock to makes changes. When you fnd it hard to see the forest cuz your nose is scraping tree bark, this chicky is your man. She'll help you fnd your way out of the forest with a plan to enjoy the view!" - Cassandra Paquin, CEO, Hearth Strings Gourmet Granola Products, HearthStringsFoods.com “{Creative Freedom] is for every creative entrepreneur who struggles to see how today's action leads to money in the bank tomorrow." - Jeanie Witcraft-Shiau, LCSW & CEO of Practical Solutions Counseling at jwitcraft.com Contents Introduction................................................................................................................................................ 1 ACT I:: Defning Your Dream Chapter 1...................................................................................................................................................... 9 Chapter 2.................................................................................................................................................... 21 Chapter 3................................................................................................................................................... 41 Chapter 4................................................................................................................................................... 53 ACT II: Designing Your Dream Chapter 5.................................................................................................................................................. 69 Chapter 6................................................................................................................................................... 81 Chapter 7.................................................................................................................................................. 89 Chapter 8................................................................................................................................................ 107 Chapter 9................................................................................................................................................. 121 ACT III: Pursuing Your Dream Chapter 10.............................................................................................................................................. 139 Chapter 11............................................................................................................................................... 147 Chapter 12............................................................................................................................................... 161 Chapter 13.............................................................................................................................................. 177 Chapter 14.............................................................................................................................................. 193 ACT IV: Owning Your Dream Chapter 15.............................................................................................................................................. 201 Chapter 16............................................................................................................................................. 205 Chapter 17............................................................................................................................................... 211 Chapter 18.............................................................................................................................................. 221 Chapter 19.............................................................................................................................................. 237 To creative entrepreneurs everywhere who are ready to own teir dreaas witout seling teir soulr Introeuction I grew up in the 80's, in Flint, Michigan.
