A lot of the information given would not apply to me as I don't have any time restrictions, financial issues etc but if you are seriously considering following your dream, changing your career path and bringing your creative side to the forefront then this book gives you some helpful hints, tips and many things to take into consideration to become a sucessful artist. This book however is doing the craft more as a carer, maybe quiting your job and not as a hobby, pastime or just to do that one thing you've always dreamed about. It gives you positive mind set, visual ideas to promote your dreams and how to set your goals and stick to your targets. These can be returned and added to as you read through the book and understand more but they are the foundation to start building upon. But it also raises points that you may never have thought of, which then increase the ease of your journey. Throughout the book, a series of questions are given which get you thinking about your dream and how you will start your journey. Starting with a list of questions, it helped me focus on what I really wanted to do with my time and to establish if I was really committed to doing it or would give up at the first hurdle. I saw this book and was hoping it would give me a helping hand, a plan of attack and a path to follow.

I have always been toying with the idea of doing something creative when I retired but I just need guidence, advise and a good old kick up the backside to get myself motivated.
