Books I'm reading now

The 80/20 Principle

Great book. The author is really smart, intelligent. You can tell by how he writes the book. I like his writing style, simple yet straight forward and to the point. Maybe I can use this principle to help me become more productive.

Art Marketing 101

Get it! If you're an artist. The thing is marketing is never taught in art school and art classes. We thought we are supposed to paint all the time! But no, half of your work hours need to be devoted to marketing. Besides, can you really paint 8 hours a day, everyday? At least I can't. I'll be so bored. I need to do different things to keep me charged anyway.

Real Success without a Real Job

Kind of a rambling book. The only good points so far are the various books the author mentioned through out...like Art Marketing 101! It helped me to find other books, great books.

Think Big and Kick Ass

Mostly written by Donald Trump. Still reading it. Makes for an entertaining read. There are somethings I don't see eye to eye with him, like, you have to get even! Every time! And, do not trust anybody. I can see this being useful in a brutal business world. But thank God that is not what I want to do. Not applicable for artists. We probably do exactly the opposite.
