One year after the debut of Mind Management, Not Time Management, I have released a hardcover version!
If you’re like one recent Amazon reviewer of the book, who says, “I can’t express how much I love this book,” this is for you. If you like to have a “souvenir” edition of books you love, I’ve put together a book that will last for years.
The book features a dust jacket, which protects a nice surprise of a vibrant hardcover underneath. Take a look:
Where to get it?
Your local bookstore: Call them and ask them to order a copy for you. (ISBN: 978-0578301754)
BN.com (Looks like you’ll get it in time for Christmas if you order today)
Amazon.com (They seem to be struggling to keep it in stock, so subject to availability)
This would make a great gift for yourself or anyone else who loves to create.
Many people think our hunter-gatherer ancestors lived short and miserable lives. In fact, that’s what most anthropologists thought. Until the 1960s, when they looked more closely at how foragers got by.
The way foragers “worked” can tell us a lot about the way we, as creators, work.
October’s revenues were $6,760, down from September’s $8,327. Profits were $5,381, down from September’s $5,585.
This month I’m reporting the lowest revenue in five months. But, expenses were the lowest they’ve been in a year and a half, so profits are pretty solid. Solid enough to keep up the record-breaking streak. keep on reading »
There’s a story I think of every time I’m in the throes of a difficult project. It’s from the movie, Catch Me if You Can, about the infamous con artist, Frank Abignale, Jr. Frank’s Father, Frank Senior, tells him a story:
When Michelangelo was painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling, he designed and built his own scaffolding. But, it only covered half of the ceiling. So he painted the first half of the ceiling, then removed the scaffolding. When he finally got to view his work from the floor, seventy feet below, it was as if he were seeing it with new eyes.
On October 10th, 1901 – 120 years ago, almost to the day – the grandstand was full at the horse track in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. But not to see horses. There was a parade of more than 100 of these new things called automobiles, and several other events, including races of automobiles with electric engines and with steam engines.
Leonardo da Vinci is easily the most-accomplished procrastinator who ever lived. He finished hardly any projects at all. He was great at many things, but he wasn’t great at shipping. The world would have been better off if Leonardo da Vinci had treated shipping as a skill.
August’s revenues were $9,115, down from July’s $9,891. Profits were $5,459, up from July’s $2,877.
This month isn’t record-breaking in its revenue or profit, but it was strong enough to bring record-breaking revenue and profit, averaged over the long term. keep on reading »
When Vincent van Gogh began his career as an artist, he had already failed at everything else. He even got fired from his own family’s business in the process.
