Hooboy, what a fun treat I have for you today! I scored an interview with creative business maven, Tara Gentile.

Tara is a leader in creating what she calls “the You Economy,” redefining commerce as the creation and distribution of meaning, relationship and experience.

How’s that for awesome?

I highly recommend Tara’s ebook, The Art of Earning, which deals very elegantly with so many issues that we creatives (and others) struggle with when it comes to money and our relationship with it. I dare you to read it without being somehow transformed. (And with a “$25 or what you can afford” price tag, you really have no excuse not to.)

As a participant in another Tara’s online course — Tara Mohr’s outstanding Playing Big journey — I’m hyper-aware of other women out there playing big, and Tara Gentile rocks this out. Not so long ago she was earning $28K/year working 50-60 hours/week at Borders Books. Now she’s a role model for any creative who wants to do well for her(or him)self.

Tara is a model of doing well by doing good, a visionary who helps other visionaries and creatives bring our gifts to the world (and get paid well for it).

Now Tara’s turned The Art of Earning into a live event, taking place next Thursday, February 23. Twenty lucky participants get to join her in Philadelphia, but guess what, the rest of us can participate too (and clothing’s optional for us!)

Wazzat?

Yep, smartypants Tara has created a virtual ticket for The Art of Earning Live. I’m one of Tara’s affiliate partners, which snagged me a ticket, and I’m pretty excited. Check it out, and if it speaks to you, maybe I’ll see you there. (NOTE: All of the above links are affiliate links, and if you click through and buy, I’ll earn a commission — 20% on the live event and 50% on the ebook, in case you’re wondering).

Regardless ow whether you come to The Art of Earning Live or not, watch the video (which is, of course, totally free). We talk about some pretty juicy stuff at the intersection of art, creativity, making a difference, and MONEY. It might just get you thinking.

Then tell me, what is the biggest money mindset issue that’s holding you back?

PS — Pssst! Know someone who might benefit from seeing this today? Pass it on!
