I wanted my first review of 2018 to be something for everyone, and I knew this was the perfect book to start a new year. Inspirational, practical, and encouraging, Creative Freedom is the perfect tool for those that want "to make a comfortable living doing what you love and get off the hamster wheel of hustle so that you can enjoy the fruits of your labor". Who doesn't want that?!

It's the American dream, doing what you love and getting paid for it. In Creative Freedom, Lisa Robbin Young shows you step by step how to achieve this goal. Lisa mixes stories from her own personal experiences of being a creative entrepreneur with practical, applicable guidelines to help us achieve creative freedom ourselves.

Do not be fooled by the title. So many of us feel like we are not creative types as Lisa says, "Everyone is creative in their own way."

This book is so rich with information that most of my book is highlighted and marked with my own notes and ideas. The end of each chapter Lisa has included practical assignments to aid in your journey to creative freedom. It is wonderfully written and has more of a coaching feel that a manual.

Creative Freedom is a wonderful resource and one that I can see coming back to again and again. Highly recommend!
