HLP118: On Daring to Pursue Your Creative Passion for Profit with Allison Ford
Huge thank you to everyone for your kind words while I was under the weather! First thing first, I owe you guys a TON of money book club updates. The truth is, I’ve been struggling with this month’s book, “The Dumb Things Smart People Do With Money” and suspect some of you may be too. Don’t fret we are going to persevere! Please send any questions or comments you may have on the book and I’ll be sure to answer all of those in a wrap up episode coming soon.. I’m happy to announce next month’s book: “Your Money or Your Life” by Vicky Robin.
On today’s show I chat with practicing attorney Allison Ford that has reignited her passion for art and now runs a successful side hustle as an artist! We chat about how she found her way back to art, how she created space in her life to pursue this creative passion, and why she ultimately decided to turn the passion project into a profitable business.
Before we get started, most of you may know I am at the very beginning of my trip to Ecuador! I hope you’ll follow along the adventure over on Instagram @thehappylawyerproject. Hope to see you there!
