<DIV>Everyone has said it: if I only had more xxx, I could get this project completed (or make more money; start my business; write a novel; record a song). But instead of focusing on the project, we procrastinate. Everyone has 24 hours in each day, yet some people find ways to write bestsellers, create amazing art, design dresses, or start a new business. According to Samantha Bennett, what those who finish projects have that others don’t is creative genius, which consists of clarity, motivation, and the ability to get past their own demons to get their work out there. Her clever approach includes explanations and ways to override the ?getting ready to get ready” syndrome; making ?could do lists” (instead of ?to-do”) to allow yourself the option of saying no and dreaming big; and the ?pure preference” worksheet to decide which project to pursue, a.k.a., ?you can’t chase two bunnies." And, it only takes 15 minutes a day to build those skills.<BR><BR>Creative people aren’t necessarily motivated by money or other trappings of success and they don’t need their creativity unleashed. In fact, according to Samantha Bennett, most are already ?unleashed” enough. What creative people need are not more platitudes or encouragement but effective tools for overcoming the procrastination and lack of focus that hobble them. Sam, herself an actor and comedienne, knows first-hand how these frustrations suck up energy, and she offers field-tested tools to get beyond them and stay in the creative zone.<br><BR>Artists not only have projects they want to start, focus on, and bring to light; they are also parents, teachers, entrepreneurs, church-goers, movie-renters, coffee-drinkers, vacationers, business owners, and much more. Which is why it is so important for them to take advantage of the strategies found in <I>Get It Done</I> and put an end to the ?But-I-work-eight-hours-a-day-how-can-I-ever-finish-my-novel-screenplay- painting-business-plan?” excuse. Each chapter features compelling (and often funny) real-life stories, innovative I-Never-Thought-About-It-That-Way-Before worksheets and also offers an online component ? either a webinar, downloadable audio or online tool ? to deepen the learning. <br><BR> The exercises and suggestions were created in response to the critical issues artists brought to Bennett’s Get It Done Workshops held throughout southern California and on the Internet. Devised to address the anxieties that plague artists and to take advantage of the blessings that redeem them, every exercise and every bit of the wisdom included in <I> Get It Done</I> has been tested and re-tested by hundreds of Bennett’s satisfied clients<BR><BR> Creative people tend to see the world a little differently than everyone else. But that doesn’t mean they can’t zero-in on their goals, get focused, get organized, and not only accomplish what they want to achieve but earn money at it. <I>Get It Done</I> helps artists to get a handle on their own particular ? even peculiar ? creative process and harness their energies in positive, creative, and income-generating ways.</div>
