Read moreMy Creative Entrepreneurship Journey and a New Blog Interview Series
Since embarking on the creative entrepreneurship journey that is FreelanceMikey, I’ve been inspired on a daily basis by starting out doing relatively small jobs with big impacts. Where so many other people live for the weekend, I’ve learned to treat my weekdays ast days to be lived. Now, I spend my days helping ambitious people fulfill their need to get their creative ideas out into the world and I’m thankful for it every day. From creative writing and editing assisting clients with plays, screenplays, memoirs and novels, to the more specific personal one-on-one consulting to help propel personal and professional confidence in my clients, each job and each client gives me a variant on a practiced and consistent sense of purpose in what I do—not just as a creative and entrepreneur but as a air-breathing human being who likes to help people. To this point, my music and audio mixing work has been one of the most rewarding parts of my creative work: making music mixes and mashups for personal use for everything from wedding songs to dance recitals—and even a routine for America’s Got Talent got wrangled in there somewhere. In all cases and get the great privilege to help my clients dream just a bit bigger and express a deep love for what they’re doing. It’s a rich reward I will never ever take for granted in the least.

New Goodness Coming Up!
Well, it’s been wild one—between unique screenplay projects and personal delays due to a death in the family—but have no fear, I’ll be back next week with greatness, (or at least a really fun, passable facsimile). Be good and do some good!
P.S. I might even do a post about visiting the David Bowie exhibit in New York City, or I could talk about my alma mater SUNY New Paltz’s production of Avenue Q that I’m seeing over the weekend. We shall see. :)
