145: Making Good Book Club #12: Big Magic

This month on Making Good Book Club, we’re talking about Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert.  Big Magic is not an instruction manual but a series of inspirational stories and messages that teach us about how to live a fulfilling creative life… whatever creative means to you. 

In this book club episode, we talk about:

• What a creative life actually looks like (and what big magic is)

• The role of fear in creativity and how to approach it

• Where ideas come from

• The power of following your curiosity

• Treating your work like a job

• Passion versus curiosity

• Our key takeaways from the book specifically for small business owners

• And much, much more

From the episode:

• THIS BOOK: Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert
