Customer Reviews

This is the "Must Have" Book of the 21st. Century!

Little did I know that AFTER I thought I'd never see the "light of day" concerning my finances, that this book would come into my life. It's informative, funny, well written, and just a great book for everyone. I've given it out to a couple of friends and then I thought, "Hey, GO BUY YOUR OWN!" Lee Silber is an author that makes it easy for someone, like me, that doesn't read a great deal, to flash those pages quicker than the remote on my TV. Thanks Lee! I can now go to sleep feeling like I can use your guides and NOT have to worry about what the Hell is going to take place tomorrow!

Absolute must for any artist

I just finished this book and it's amazing! With most books I just read it then put it away forever. With Money Management for the Creative Person I am already putting Mr. Silber's valuable advice to work. What is so great about this book is that you not only get a ton of financial advice, but inspiration to keep creating in the face of adversity. The book it packed with real life stories from himself, celebrities and real-life people. It's very motivating. I highly recommend this book even if you feel like your finances are in order and you don't need help.

Perfect for the Artistically Inclined

This book was an excellent read, helpful, and gets you brainstorming. It gives advice that motivates one to look for opportunities and to use one's strengths, which is to find creative ways to make more money and save more money. It is definitely a great book to get you started and thinking about how to be smart about money and an artist. Lee Silber adds comedy and fun facts to the information making one's efforts to handle finances a little more approachable. This book opens your eyes and gets you thinking, the rest just takes action and more learning about investing, budgeting, cutting back on costs, and creating more opportunities to increase income.

You can manage your money and your art...

...and reading Mr. Silbers book has convinced me of this. Mr. Silber shows you how to set goals for money management and artistic endeavors without putting your life on hold. You can pay your bills and still pursue your art. This book shows you the way and explains how it is all about choices. The choices we make. The author's writing style makes the book fun to read and his easy to understand philosophy makes it believable.

THE ADVICE YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

As a novelist and short story writer, and as a college writing instructor, I have read--literally--hundreds of books on the writing craft, the writing life, grammar, inspiration, technique, biographies of writers, finding an agent, and on and on and on.However, until now, no one--until Mr. Silber, that is--has spent any time talking about the four most important aspects of a creative life: career management, time management, self-promotion, and now, MONEY MANAGEMENT FOR THE CREATIVE PERSON. As someone who has read and seen remarkable results from his previous three books, I am equally excited about putting into practice the principles Silber describes in Money Management.Too often among "creative" people, topics like self-promotion and money are considered dirty, somehow beneath them. "Leave us alone," they say, "we want to work on our art." If there is one principle or theme that runs through Money Management, it's this: in order to sustain a situation that will support your creativity, you have to earn money. From there, Lee gives us creatives dozens of new paradigms for how we can and should view money. While Silber's book provides excellent, practical examples on how you can begin attracting more money into your life, his main mission seems to be changing your thinking. Because he knows that if he can change your thinking process about money to a more productive one, the details will follow.Do yourself a favor and buy all of Lee Silber's books. If you're temporarily short on cash (that is, until you finish Money Management), just buy MM and Self-Promotion for the Creative Person. Good luck.
