#5: Avoiding Creative Scatter Brain Pt.2

Being organized isn't a default characteristic of many creatives. Multi-passionate wouldn't begin to describe what Steven and John call a creative scatterbrain. It's a syndrome that stops creatives from getting traction in their hobby/business and taking it to a scaleable level. In this episode both Steven and John go into detail about how The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E. Gerber was a wake-up call to how and why their past businesses failed and structuring their new businesses with the principles from The E Myth Revisited is helping them plan for a better future and how it can help any creative.

This is Part 2 of a 2-part Series.
