Session 8: Working in the Gift

In this session, I reveal all my “secrets” for how to run a business in the gift; that is, without fee-for-services, advertising, or pay walls. This obviously won’t be relevant for everyone, but I believe that even if you work for a salary some of the information will be useful. And if you do run a business of some kind, and want to take the next step toward embodying the gift in your work, I hope that this material will shorten your learning curve — because you will be learning from my mistakes!
