This week I published a couple of guest articles that tackle the perennial challenge for creators:

How can you find the time, focus and resourcefulness to create something extraordinary, in the midst of daily pressures and a world that seems happy to settle for mediocrity?

The Key to Creating Remarkable Things describes the simple change I made in my working habits a few years ago, which has made the biggest difference to my creative output. It’s published at The 99 Percent, a terrific online magazine for creative professionals, where I’m a regular(ish) columnist.

And if you’d like to know what Johann Sebastian Bach can teach writers, internet marketers and entrepreneurs, head over to Copyblogger.com and read The 7 Essential Steps to Creating Your Content Masterpiece.

    Thank you. This is something that I always needed to know, but never knew I had to do it. The tip in the Key to Creating Remarkable Things could easily be sold as an E-book, yet you gave it to us for free. You don’t understand how much this means, thank you.
