    About this ebook

    Create the ultimate mindset: The 5-Step Blueprint to True Success
    Do you want to make a living from your writing?
    Do you believe it's possible to thrive as a writer?

    Developing a prosperous mindset is the foundation skill from which all else follows.

    Bestselling author, award-winning artist, holistic psychologist creativity expert Cassandra Gaisford (BCA, Dip Psych) challenges the myth of the starving artist. In The Prosperous Author: Developing A Millionaire Mindset Gaisford reveals dozens of insights based on survey research, her professional achievements and the success secrets of extraordinary artists, authors and creative entrepreneurs like James Patterson, Paulo Coelho, Nora Roberts, Arianna Huffington, Oprah, Isabel Allende, and many more.

    So many famous stories are about having belief in yourself and achieving your potential. But in many of us there is a hesitant skeptical part of ourselves that knows, “I probably should believe in myself more, but what if I am deluding myself? What if I’m not good enough?”

    Perhaps you’ve bought into the myth that you can’t make money from your writing. For years, the fallacy of the starving artist has pervaded our culture, leaching into the minds of creative people and stifling their dreams. But the evidence-based truth is that the world’s most successful authors and artists do not starve. In fact, they thrive by leveraging off the power of their millionaire mindset and capitalizing on their creative strengths.

    The Prosperous Author: Developing A Millionaire Mindset is a blueprint for mastering five principles of success. By fuelling your desire, empowering your vision, slaying obstacles, mastering your subconscious mind, maintaining optimum health, empowering your relationships, making a commitment to turn pro, you’ll elevate your attitude to success itself and create the ultimate mindset.

    In The Prosperous Author: Developing A Millionaire Mindset Cassandra Gaisford answers the question: How can you thrive as an artist, entrepreneur or business person, create success on your own terms, and live a happier life? Gaisford shows us that being prosperous is not just about money. It’s also about health, happiness, close relationships, living a meaningful life, and enjoying life’s journey.

    If you’d love to find a way to create a living from your writing, if you suffer from self-doubt or fear of failure, if you constantly need approval from others, if you lack confidence or self-esteem, if you’re a perfectionist or find the challenges of creative life overwhelming...then The Prosperous Author: Developing A Millionaire Mindset is exactly the right book for you—because it will show you that these challenges are a critical part of your success. The secret is knowing how to use them to your advantage, to turn your world around and achieve your goals.

    In The Prosperous Author: Developing A Millionaire Mindset Gaisford reveals:

    ✓The secrets to developing a prosperous mindset
    ✓How to master simple strategies to unlock your potential
    ✓How to overcome the fears that stop you from reaching your fullest potential
    ✓How to fight through your blocks and win your inner creative battles
    ✓How to steal from your heroes (rather than waiting for inspiration)
    ✓How to take strategic risks (rather than reckless ones)
    ✓How to overcome your fear of failure, criticism, and change...
    ✓How to whip anxiety, despondency, and depression into shape
    ✓How to overcome inertia, block and the resistance of a blank page
    ✓How to identify real priorities that are central to your life and work’s true meaning
    ✓How to turn pro, tap your inner power and create your life's work

    Real artists don't starve. Gaisford shows that by following the 5-Step blueprint to true success making a living from your writing is not only doable but it’s also a fulfilling way to live.
