I’ve recently been working on a new venture/offering (which will be announced here when it’s ready). How it all began is this: I told my Success Team about an eBook I’m writing.

New Venture Supported by “the Universe” or Something Like That
Your Own Endowment to the Arts (or whatever you *really* want to do)
