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.
The only way you’re going to get jobs or get feedback is to get your work in front of people.

I was born in a low middle class conservative religious family in the suburbs of Seattle. Art was and always has been my passion, and more than that a way of life. Starting as a graphic designer, I taught myself photography, built a commercial/editorial business shooting for the worlds biggest brands like Nike, Coca-Cola, Adidas and more. I've also had the opportunity to photograph the world's biggest celebrities like Justin Bieber, Usher, Jessica Alba and more. I've curated a lifestyle around creativity and have learned a lot along the way which I get to share here.
