The modern world has provided tools that allow us to work from anywhere at any time. Our clients can contact us at all hours and expect immediate response. We can end up isolated – especially as freelance professionals – some clients can be quite demanding and expect instant, unbounded access. And where do we turn to express our feelings, share plans, dreams, brainstorm, or sometimes simply rant.

In this episode we start with a movie from 1967 starring James Coburn, "The President's Analyst".  The character played by Coburn is chosen to be the psychological analyst to the President of the United States. In the beginning it’s a pretty sweet deal. The President is a prestigious client for any professional to serve. He is also one demanding customer. The analyst is expected to be on-call at the whim of the President.

Perhaps this sounds familiar - a dream client that drains all the fun from the project. When this happens, where do we turn, who can we share with in confidence? I am introducing a mastermind (limited seats open) for those willing to break their own isolation.
