I was prepared not to like the book, the first chapters were not capturing me, but it surprised me。 While some sections were a bit repetitive, and the author style might not be my favorite I did pick up some pieces of advice that I found inspiring and even surprising。 My only other negative comment would be that there is a chapter in social media that is not really what I would consider advice I’d follow about friending strangers daily on FB, cause there are now other platforms like IG where you I was prepared not to like the book, the first chapters were not capturing me, but it surprised me。 While some sections were a bit repetitive, and the author style might not be my favorite I did pick up some pieces of advice that I found inspiring and even surprising。 My only other negative comment would be that there is a chapter in social media that is not really what I would consider advice I’d follow about friending strangers daily on FB, cause there are now other platforms like IG where you can create meaningful connections , but also, adding friends on your personal profile might be a bit creepy。 Perhaps that part is a bit dated given the date the book was written in。 。。。more

مثل اکثر کتاب‌های خودآموز انتظار نداشته باشید حرف‌های تازه یا خلاقانه یا عجیب در این کتاب بخونید。 اگر نمی‌دونید چطور برای شروع از هنرتون درآمد کسب کنید این کتاب ایده‌های خیلی خوب و آزمایش‌شده‌ای براتون داره که ممکنه به دردتون بخوره و بعد درهای جدیدی برای راه‌حل‌های جدید باز کنه。 به قول یه آدم عاقلی، وقتی یه مشکلی داری و نمیدونی چکار کنی بهتره که فقط شروع کنی و این کتاب برای اینکه چطور شروع کنی عالیه。

Save your money on this one。 Bloated with self-evident bullshit。 You don't need to waste your money and time on some common sense advice。 Save your money on this one。 Bloated with self-evident bullshit。 You don't need to waste your money and time on some common sense advice。 。。。more

I was genuinely inspired by this book。 Lots of ideas that I hadn't heard before (I put off reading this due to the assumption that it would tell me the same old things) - and plenty of anecdotal experiences to demonstrate the ideas。 I'm someone who generally won't do something until it has been modeled for me to some degree, so the real specifics of how to do these things really helped me wrap my head around the idea of ME actually doing those things。 Scary though it is!Loved the workbook aspect I was genuinely inspired by this book。 Lots of ideas that I hadn't heard before (I put off reading this due to the assumption that it would tell me the same old things) - and plenty of anecdotal experiences to demonstrate the ideas。 I'm someone who generally won't do something until it has been modeled for me to some degree, so the real specifics of how to do these things really helped me wrap my head around the idea of ME actually doing those things。 Scary though it is!Loved the workbook aspect too - I'm far more likely to follow through now that I have notes, and don't have to read back to pick out my favourite bits。 。。。more

Very useful!!! I've even emailed and gotten a response from the author! I highly recommend it for anyone trying to make their way in the art world who is tired of the same old approach to galleries, museums, etc。 It puts a whole new angle on the idea! Very useful!!!
