What we loved about it!

Michelle is an amazeballs coach.  Her book is part psychology class (yes, there is a personality test in there) and part puzzle solver.  She takes you gently through each step of discovering your talents, passions, work environment, and possible careers.  She does it in such a fun way that it’s not until the end of the book that you realize you’ve just discovered a way to combine your talents and passion into a PROFESSION!

What makes Michelle’s book unique?

Well, to state the obvious, it rhymes!  Michelle playfully blends serious ‘work stuff’ with daydreams and creativity.  In addition to her rhyming instructions, the book is beautifully illustrated.  We couldn’t help but feel like we were reading one of our favorite Dr. Seuss books, only this one had a life coach instead of a fox in sox.

Best of the best!

Let’s be honest.  We’ve all read books like this before and then thought, “But I can’t do any of this because I have to pay the bills, feed the kids, etc.”  Michelle embraces that because she was there herself only 2.5 years ago.  But she gives you the tools she used to create an ‘escape plan’!  It takes an in-depth look at your finances (with the help of wonderful online financial resources) and calculates a time line PLUS a nest egg for you.  How cool is that?

We’re so excited about this new workbook by Michelle Ward (who we’ve interviewed) because it’s the perfect resource for people just starting out in their new creative career.  But it’s also for anyone wanting to add a new revenue stream to their existing creative business.  If you’ve been craving something fun and challenging, a new profession that fits you and only you, then you’ll want to pick up Operation Creative Career Cheer!
