Chapters address how to apply one's personal assets and ways of thinking for maximum profit; the advantages and disadvantages of working for oneself vs. working for a company; the nuances of the creative process; overcoming such obstacles as lack of time, poor people skills, bad reactions to criticism, or negative habits; laws affecting creative work in general and intellectual property in particular; and much more.
