5.0 out of 5 stars
How to survive your bohemian, artistic or activist lifestyle,
By "pittsburgh_scene" (Pittsburgh, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Medicine Woman's Guide to Being in Business for Yourself: How to Live by Your Spiritual Vision in a Money-Based World (Paperback)
We've all come across starving artists, musicians, and creative types whose personal affairs are in such shambles that they may never realize their talent, but what to do? You can't marry all of them, and they steadfastly resist sound business advice.Ms. Bridges gets past that resistance by devising visualization techniques for sound business practices based on the symbols and archetypes of the Tarot deck's major arcana. Non-linear types will be relieved to discover that it's not necessary to work through all the steps in exact order. And she counters the thorny question of "aren't I selling out?" by appealing to the reader to bring their gifts into the world in harmony, just like the Indians did. After the usual soul searching about "am I doing the right thing for the planet?", being in business for yourself turns out to be exactly what you expected-- developing the habits of personal organization and initiative necessary to carry out an original project. This good-humored approach to banishing chaos and impoverished despair will have a rather unique charm for certain out-of-the-box thinkers. Although many Native Americans are justifiably appalled at the expropriation of indigenous spirituality by flaky suburbanites, I'd urge them to cut Ms. Bridges some slack regarding this book. It's exactly the sort of practical survival information we need so that our alternative communities can thrive and grow.

This review is from: The Medicine Woman's Guide to Being in Business for Yourself: How to Live by Your Spiritual Vision in a Money-Based World (Paperback)
I found this book to be most helpful in defining whether or not one would be good at being an entrepeneur, and also at helping one prepare for that role.The tips Bridges gives are easy to read. They are enough of a challenge to make them interesting, but not so much to make one want to give up. It gave me a whole different perspective on my own job, and helped me in very practical ways, as well as increasing the spiritual aspects of it. This is an excellent read for anyone who holds a job anywhere, and moreso if you think you would rather work for yourself.
