The end of an era...
|
Heya Reader... Since I got home from my Chicago retreat, one thing became incredibly clear: Creative Freedom has run its course. I mean, I kind of already knew it before I went, but talking about the future of my work (and my life, to be frank), really solidified the decision for me. A decision I'd been circling for years, if I'm honest. For 10 years, across 8 seasons, the Creative Freedom Show was built to inspire and prepare creatives across the spectrum to have a business that works for how you're uniquely wired to work. For most of those years, we also included bonus downloadables to help you make faster progress and see better results. I've also had the honor of hosting dozens of folks in the past 8 years at the nearly annual Creative Freedom Retreat. We'll do one more this year, and then that chapter, too, is closed. I'll have more details on that soon. Part of me feels like there needs to be a "closing ceremony" for the show, the brand, and everything CF has meant for the past 10+ years. Part of me also remembers the 38 Special lyric: Hold on loosely, but don't let go. If you cling too tightly, you're gonna lose control. I know that, while that body of work has served an important role in my journey, it doesn't fit me like it once did. The new work being birthed in me has been 30+ years in the making. One Move That Matters is the culmination of all my years as an entrepreneur, coach, trainer, and performing artist. It sounds cheese to say it's my "magnum opus" and yet, I can see the threads of everything I've done over the years woven into the tapestry we're creating in this next chapter. I don't have all the answers on what's to come, but I DO know that the end of Creative Freedom as a brand is nigh. As always, Rising Tide members get the front-row seat and first dibs on everything we release. In fact, you're one of the first to know that I'll be speaking about how to redesign your business when it no longer fits who you're becoming at the NeuroDivergent Business Summit next month. That's my affiliate link, so if you register and buy the VIP upgrade, I'll get a referral fee. But it's a free event for folks who are trying to build something that works for how you're wired to work. Which, as you know, has been the focus of Creative Freedom for the last 10 years. I am excited about the things to come and hope you'll stick with me on this journey into the new era as it unfolds. Onward! Until next time, - Lisa P.S. Thank you for being here. Whether you're brand new or you've been around since I sent my first email newsletter in 2007, I am grateful for you and the gifts you bring to the world! |

Heya Reader! Walmart is rolling out digital shelf labels, and the public suspicion is already high: Are prices going to change in real time?Will shoppers be tracked?Is this efficiency… or manipulation? To be fair, Walmart has said this isn’t about surge pricing. But companies have a long history of saying one thing and doing another, so the mistrust isn’t coming out of nowhere. Once customers start asking, “Can I trust how this price got here?” you’re no longer just making an operations...
Hello there Reader! Next week, I'm hosting a live sneak peek at what I'm calling the 4 Horsemen of Business Collapse. Think of it like one part lunch & learn, one part dress rehearsal.

"There's no easy 'yes' here. They all have risk."That's what my brand strategist said to me as we were debating the different proposals submitted for my speaker reel project. There was no perfect offer. Each one had upsides and downsides. At one point, I kind of wanted to flip the tables and walk away."I'll just do it my own damn self," I thought to myself. It would be faster. It would probably cost a lot less. I'd have complete control of the project, and it would be "good enough." But then,...
