I have found some great insight from a few great, strange people. I call them strange because they have ways that are weird to most of the world, and yet they are great to me because they have accomplished something I am so hungry for: making a living from their passions.
One of those is Cliff Ravenscraft; check him out at http://gspn.tv/ This guy and his wife are wonderful people. They are actually amazing, inspirational and slightly weird, all at the same time! No, really... He truly stepped out into his passion, a leap of faith kind of thing, and mostly crashed - at least at first. He's worked hard, made life long friends, learned things and has barred his soul with the world in unbridled honesty that makes you want to know him.
Here's the quick version: he hated his work selling life insurance but had it made financially, begin to love podcasting and starting doing that with his wife mainly around the Lost TV show.
Now he has a whole community of people he knows individually, that throw money at him to do what he does best in the world!

Here's Cliff without his mustache. There are no known actual pictures of him that can be found in the world. I have come to believe that he really looks like this!
Another great person I've recently connected with is Ellen Violette. She's the e - book coach - http://www.theebookcoach.com/
This lady has became a person that found great success, sort of, in the music world, only to find out that it matter more who you know that what you can do (at least in her experience). She actually got a Grammy nomination, but was disillusioned with the process and the cost in the music writing business.
She wrote an e - book about how to move efficently - www.movingtips4u.com and wanted to find an e - book coach to help her but couldn't find the information she needed.
I will have her help with a future e - book that I am currently writing, but it would be cool for her to also write a song with my music!

She is willing to take your money - go to website and sign up for her emails - however she does offer a lot of free things. She's probably being nice to pull you in so you'll buy something! That would be a good idea, even if she isn't doing that on purpose...
So these are a couple of the strange and extraordinary people that I've come in contact with. I've got a few more I'll spill on you next blog around. There's just something wonderful about touching those kind of people that are doing it! It is amazing that they turn out to be wonderfully kind and truly helpful.
