Consultant Matthew Dicks show us how to live our best life in his book Someday Is Today: 22 Simple, Actionable Ways to Propel Your Creative Life.







Someday----when the kids are grown, when work lightens up, when I win the lottery --- I am going to start that business. Become a yoga teacher, write that book, develop that app, paint that picture, finish my degree, pick up that musical instrument. We all know the drill; we block our creative life using procrastination as a tool. But, that can end today if you want to move forward.











Dicks' book empowers readers to make manageable changes to achieve the things they would love to make happen without upending their lives. The practical advice he shares has worked for him and countless other creative people he has consulted, whatever their goal.
