"A book to devour from start to finish - easy to do as it is accessibly-written and oh so fascinating - and then to dip into later for reference." (Joanna Reeves)

this book taught me how to see the broad picture of starting a business as a multi-creative with ADHD.

I love this book! it is is a thorough and priceless gift of almost everything a creative interested in starting s business needs. by far the most valuable and helpful book I've ever owned and I will revisit it often. the exercises are crucial, her experience is vast and her ability to present it all in a very functional way to the reader is unparalleled.

thank you so very much for sharing everything you've learned. you're very insightful.
