HOW TO LEAVE YOUR DAY JOB offers artists (writers, musicians, actors, etc.) concrete steps for getting from where they are to where they want to be.

· Constructing a passionate vision for your life as a creative person
· Finding a market for your work based on your unique contributions
· Overcoming and managing external and internal “naysayers”
· Finding income streams that directly connect to your art and your passions
