Writers in the Sky Podcast on Freelance Writing

This week Yvonne Perry shares her interview with Les Brown.

H. Les Brown, MA, CFCC grew up in an entrepreneurial family and has been an entrepreneur for most of his life. He is the author of The Frazzled Entrepreneur's Guide to Having It All. Les is a certified Franklin Covey coach and a certified Marshall Goldsmith Leadership Effectiveness coach. He has Masters Degrees in philosophy and theology from the University of Ottawa. His experience includes ten years in the ministry and over fifteen years in corporate management. His expertise as an innovator and change strategist has enabled him to develop a program that allows his clients to effect deep and lasting change in their personal and professional lives.

On The Frazzled Entrepreneur Program: The Author as Entrepreneur, Les and Yvonne talked about how spirituality and business go hand in hand. He asked her, "What led you to get into theology and how have you incorporated that education with your career?"

Turning a theology degree into a livelihood is a real challenge, but it can be done. Yvonne shares how it happened for her as she began exploring new paths and different types of belief systems and came to find the American Institute of Holistic Theology (AIHT) where she obtained her Bachelor of Science in Metaphysics. During that time she began setting goals to leave her corporate job and move into a new career as a self-employed business owner. It has worked out well for her to follow her inner guidance in blending family, relationships, belief systems, and career.

"It is possible to use your intuition to blend business and spirituality. Following inner guidance is as natural as breathing, and I'm doing it without any religion telling me how, when, or where!" says Perry.

And, she is not the only one. Les mentioned that his Frazzled Entrepreneur program has gone through several series. The series of shows he did before The Author as Entrepreneur was about spirituality in the streets and how people bring their own spirituality into the workplace and into their entrepreneurial careers. His new show is about providing support and guidance for men and women in or approaching the midlife transition. He has a new community called Midlife Mastery you can join at http://www.midlifemaster.org.
