Welcome!

Artists Are Like Apple Trees points out that apple trees produce apples, but they have no use for the fruit that they produce.   However, if they stop producing fruit, the tree will die because there is no reason for the nourishment from the soil to go up the trunk and past the leaves, if there is no fruit at the end of the branches. 

Creative people are the same way.  We must use it or we will lose it, but the more we use it, the more we will have!  Our talents are our best investments, because the more we use them, the more they grow.  Any talent can offer a great return on your investment!

You Have the Talent, So Where Is the Money? is a guidebook for creating a lifestyle that is as financially rewarding to the bank account, as it is emotionally rewarding to the creative spirit that lives within us.   Spoiler Alert!  We don't get paid for having talent.  We get paid for providing a service with our talent.

This book explores some interesting ways we can use our talents to earn money, regardless of what our particular talents may be.  While the book focuses on art and artists, the message applies to any form of creative expression.  

By applying our talents in practical ways to the needs of others, we can convert our unique talents into a product or service that people are willing to pay for.  This is a guidebook that shows you how it's done. 

Artists Are Like Apple Trees and You Have the Talent, So Where Is the Money? are available on Amazon and from Barnes & Noble or at  www.BalboaPress.com  in e-book, paperback and hardcover.
