Apparently, I have a pattern...


Heya Reader...

About every 10 years my work evolves enough that it's time to move on to something new.

I've been online entrepreneur for over 30 years. About 10 years in, I started coaching and consulting.

First, I worked primarily with direct sales professionals. Then my work expanded into Creative Freedom, where I spent more than 10 years helping creative entrepreneurs build businesses that worked for how they were uniquely wired to work.

While the book endures (and I'm planning an anniversary update!), Creative Freedom has run its course as a brand, and I'm excited to be moving into the next chapter of my work.

AND...here's the pattern:

I don't throw useful stuff away.

Maybe I get it from my Grandmother with her depression-era sensibilities. Maybe from my mom in our welfare days. But I just can't throw out something that can still be put to good use!

When I moved on from direct sales, I kept the trainings that were still valuable. Eventually, I rolled them into the Creative Freedom community.

Now I'm doing the same thing with Creative Freedom.

I'm gathering up more than 20 years of workshops, trainings, tools, client resources, Direct Sales Classroom material, Creative Freedom resources, and other useful stuff I've created over the years and turning it into one archive.

Some of it has never been available outside of paid programs or client work.

And ALL of it needs to be organized so you can actually figure out where to start!

(Yes. I am finally building the map I should have built ages ago.)

Over the next few days, I'm going to open the first pre-sale for the Creative Freedom Archive All-Access Pass.

This will be your opportunity to secure ongoing access to the complete archive before it officially opens December 1.

I'll share the details soon.

For now, I just wanted you to know what's coming.

I'm not burning the old work down to make room for the new.

I'm keeping what still works, organizing it so it's actually useful, and carrying it forward.

Apparently, that's what I do.

Until next time,

- Lisa

Heya Reader... Three years ago, I gave a TEDx talk called Enoughness and the Marginalization Tax. I still use the Enoughness Number exercise I talk about in that video at my retreat every year. I re-watched the video in preparation for the retreat and had an unsettling moment of clarity. You know, when you hear your past self say something and think: Oh. I was talking about something bigger than I realized. At the time, I was talking mostly about entrepreneurs. ...about the pressure to keep...

Well now it's September Reader! I'm in the final throes of preparation for our October retreat, and it's had me thinking more deeply about what's next.All things "Creative Freedom" are winding down as I step into the new chapter of my work. 30+ years in the online space, working with solopreneurs, creatives, and other micro-business owners has been a joy and an honor.AND... I'm also very excited for this new direction because it opens the doors to new possibilites. I now have space for things...

Well now it's September Reader! The first edit of my speaker reel finally arrived, and I am swooning. And if you know me, I don't swoon over myself. Like, ever. But this reel is next-level gorgeous and I can't wait to share the final version with you. We've got a few things to tweak before the final cut is live, but when it is, you KNOW I'll be sending you the link! Meanwhile, I'm midway through the short-form video experiment I mentioned in my last email, planning my husband's birthday next...
