"Can money really buy 80% of your happiness? Errmmm, how does it work for me?", asks John C. Parkin (author of the F**k It books) after reading my Freedom Project Happiness book:

"F**k It, I’d buy a copy (if Wilko hadn’t sent me a review copy): this brilliant book offers my perfect mix of inspired ideas and strategies with propositions that really made me ponder. Can money really buy 80% of your happiness? Errmmm, how does it work for me? Whatever, I get the feeling that, for the small price of this book, people will be buying a significantly higher % chance of freedom and happiness."

In this episode I'll tackle the money issue briefly - because in the end of the day, I do think you need more of the green stuff. Here's why.

When someone asks what we do, we respond with what we think we are – preferably in one word: I’m a banker, mom, barista, consultant, cleaner, sales person, the list goes on – but the conversation quickly dies. Now what do we talk about next?

How do you answer the question? As a creative entrepreneur, I struggle with it. In this episode, I share some of my thoughts, and answers, on the topic.

As a business consultant, I have worked with many large and small business owners and continue to do so every year. Unfortunately there is no magic checklist of steps that you can follow to “guarantee” success, even though many modern day gurus like to make you believe otherwise (and charge you accordingly).

For me, photography is not a hobby – it’s my passion. Taking photos is what I was born to do. It's how my creative career got started. It eventually led to multiple bestselling books and a business that teaches other creative entrepreneurs how to build their company and leverage their personal brand.

Today, thousands of entrepreneurs and business owners are using something that’s working very well right now for anyone looking to add a little “magic” to their branding and marketing message. I’ve seen people double and even triple their income using this. But don’t worry, this is not another get-rich-quick-scheme. Overnight results don’t exist. But if you’re willing to do a little work… read on.

A few years ago, I took my business on the road for almost two months while traveling all over Asia. During that trip, several things happened that significantly impacted the way I take care of my businesses when I’m away from my office and home base for longer periods of time.

Eventually the things I became aware of during that trip inspired me to write my travel book in The Freedom Project series. If you’re planning any travel that extends beyond a couple of days, some of the topics in this episode will affect you, and your business, too.

Be prepared for these and other changing conditions while you travel, and you’ll have a better, easier and more prosperous time away from home.

Have you ever booked a flight early in the morning? I do this all the time. When I get to my destination, I have at least some of the day left to get settled in and explore. And, I get a bonus vacation day added to my trip for no extra charge. A few months ago, on my last trip to Las Vegas, I realized the night before I would have to be at the airport way too early due to additional security screening for US bound flights. That meant I’d have to get out of bed and leave my home at an even more unspeakable hour. No thanks. Here's what I did instead.
