Rick DiBiasio has written an incredible book that will help not only creatives, but will help all of us who believe we do have an artist within, and yet lack the financial acumen to build our financial foundation that will allow us to release the brakes, so we can do the creative work we know we are meant to do. The Affluent Artist is destined to help many reach these goals.

Rick DiBiasios new book The Affluent Artist is not only timely but really hitting the spot with many, many people. The old saying do what you love and the money will follow is not just a saying but a reality for more and more of us. With overall job satisfaction in corporate America seeming to be at a low point, people are searching for ways to fill their soul and their pocketbook at the same time. With the proper understanding of the Law of Attraction, it is not only possible to turn any form of creativity into a money making business its universal law. I personally walked away from a lucrative job in sales and turned my love for animals, into a wonderful business helping thousands and soon to me millions of people and their dogs. My heart sings everyday, if I am having a rough day or Im not in a particularly good mood, I go to work! Rick DiBiasio is a shining light for those who are looking to turn their passion into their career.

Finally a book that marries money and art. Most people stick their head in the sand when it comes to finances, especially artists. They think that you have to suffer to create art. I highly disagree. I believe creativity is a gift and theres no need to starve. Rick inspires me because hes creating a paradigm shift in the way artists perceive themselves. Hes giving tools of self-empowerment that allow you to be creative and successful. Starving Artist no more, bring on the Affluent Artist!

TABLE OF CONTENTS

FOREWORD

BY JACK Canfield

One of the great universal truths is that when the student is ready the teacher will appear. I know that you have picked up this book because you are now ready to be taught how to welcome more abundance and prosperity (including money) into your life.

The teacher you have chosen, Rick DiBiasio CFP, and I met when he attended my Breakthrough to Success Training and later became a member of my Platinum Inner Circle Coaching Program. I have come to know Rick as a sincere, caring individual with a knack for making complicated financial concepts easy to understand and even fun to read about. Rick has a passion for helping others become successful, and this book evolved from his experience with the other wonderful souls in my programsmany of whom are artists, writers, and musicians.

Rick has brilliantly married many of the principles I teach on the law of attraction and manifesting success with his vast knowledge and experience as a financial planner, resulting in a fabulous book that will help you achieve and maintain much more abundance and prosperity in your life. Rick has applied these principles in his own life and has achieved much greater success in every area of his life. The same is possible for you. Rick teaches from his experience. He has lived what he is teaching in this book and has proven that these principles work, and now he is sharing them with you.
