The more that you listen to that inner voice and let inspiration be your guide, the more you are accessing your flow state.

Today I’m talking about books for the creative entrepreneur. In the first of a two part series, I want to tell you about five books that have inspired me. These books are great for learning about creativity, both the artistic process and the business side of it. Whether you’re a creative entrepreneur or an entrepreneur in general, I think these books will be super helpful to you.
