Winston’s personal message about ”Quiana’s Voice” November 12th at 5pm

When I loss many friends and family to external violence, diseases, and suicide before they had a chance to fully share their creative voice it hurt.  I felt that if I and all of us, who aspire to be spiritual and creative souls could begin to pour into people. We would do this one person at a time and we could make a difference.  My personal belief is that once we do this, it will create a rising tide of love that contrasts the belief that we are disconnected from each other.  November 12th at 5pm at Mary Mac's Tea Room. It is going to be amazing.

The Creativity Cocktail introduces the Productivity Cocktail.

Being personally productive has helped my creativity immensely.  It gives me the margin to be present with my art.  There was another channel called "TimeBuster Tools" which I  shared my practices.  This channel shared my philosophy as well as some of the solutions that I use (and stopped using).  Linking the success of Creativity Cocktail with TBT, that channel will now be known as "Productivity Cocktail."  Episodes here will now begin to alternate between "Creativity" and "Productivity."  These are my two loves and my goal is to help you be excellent and grow in both.   TimeBuster Tools will continue on in blog form with an emphasis on short-term tips.  I'm so excited, so don't forget to subscribe and let me help, help you.  Thank you to do those all over the world that have helped us get to this amazing moment.

War on clutter part two. Is it a struggle for you? It still is for me. Let me give you my thoughts on how to fight back!

Clutter is everywhere. Not just physical items but digital items.  I share my thoughts on this ongoing war and my thoughts on consumerism and how it effects my creativity.  

Find your audience. One day at a time.

As artists and business owners we try to find a broad base of people that will dig what we are doing.  I've been guilty of this is in the past.  There is more work to find our audience but it's rewarding.  There is an audience for each of us, no matter what are good or service.
