In every interview there are short answer questions, stubbies I call them. Sometimes as in the case with my “talk” with Colleen Wainwright aka the communicatrix, these stubbies are too good, too value adding to leave out.

What is the best piece of advice Colleen has ever received?

“Never live up to your means. Also known as, "Make sure you have your f*** you money."

Over the years, I've met so many people who were miserable in their jobs but couldn't quit because of their monthly nut. And these were people with great, high-paying jobs.

It's a trap. It's just stuff, people. Like I said before, money is freedom; the lack of it, tyranny. Get down with that and it will change your life.”

Absolutely, agree with Colleen. I didn’t start my second (fifteenth?) career as a novel writer (currently aspiring novel writer) until I had money in the bank. Why? Because I knew that financial stress would suck all the creativity out of me. Some people can do and thrive on the starving artist thing. I’m not one of them.

Now, you’ve probably gathered from the last two Colleen posts that she’s a fellow project person. We project people always have something on the go, something we’re excited about. So what is Colleen currently excited about?

“I'm a huge proponent of people getting in touch with their own, innate creativity. One of my clients who feels the same way, Megan Mullally, is leveraging her name to help people do just that. We came up with this really wonderful little site called Supreme Story Program (http://supremestoryprogram.com); Megan picks a topic once a month or so and asks people to send in a story about it. We publish all of them (unless they're super-creepy) on the site.

It's just starting out and I'm telling everyone about it.”

Consider everyone on this blog told, Colleen. LOL
