I have both. What did you not like about "MSI on the Internet?"

I found that when I went through it the second time and took notes with highlighter in hand that there was actually quite a bit of good information there. Even for someone with some experience.

Hey Rick!

Great to see you and thanks for responding....my list is getting quite long now and should keep me content *and my fix satiated* through the last quarter.

Thanks again!

Hello Rick

I did not say it was a bad book. Just that I did
not highly recommend it.
I found Multiple Streams of Internet Income too much Robert Allen products oriented and most of what he did is not reproducible by the average marketer.

Hi Oliver!

I have never heard of this one:

****And this sounds right up my alley as well! Thanks for the thoughts on the second title in the series....I wonder if Rick shares the same opinion, I saw he wrote to you over
there ------->

Re: Everything by JF (Jim) Straw and...
 

Julie - I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of "The Art of Leverage" from Michael. It's a concise, well-written guide to using other people's resources to move ahead in your own business. It's helped me regroup and get my own business direction going and I recommend it highly.

My additional best reads of 2001 include "How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci" by Michael Gelb (an excellent book full of exercises on creativity, "confusion tolerance", etc.) and "Hired Gun" by Robert Workman (describes and teaches what it takes to become a top salesman and the challenges of remaining on top. I found it by chance in the Dallas airport and read it non-stop for the next three hours.)

Thanks for starting this interesting thread!

Hi Bob!

You know, this one is one of my ALL time favorites!!

> book full of exercises on creativity,

***In fact, reading Gelb's book opened me up to a whole new approach to reading: something I call "Reading Deeply". I used to devour book after book after book and did not retain very much. Now, I read like Gelb teaches to read "Leonardo"...once through sans exercises and then again, and completing the exercises.

I read "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand for the first time this year and was entranced. I read it slowly, took me over a month....though it IS quite lengthy if you have read it. I took copious notes in the text itself and in an "Atlas" notebook.

When a writer is an artist AND a philosopher as Ayn Rand is, it really helps to study the material. I got SO MUCH MORE by reading it that way. I read fewer books and gain so much more value at the same time.

I save the "Devouring Read" for the occasional popular novel....

Now where can I find Michael's book?

Re: This book is a great read if you have problems with Sales....
 

Hi Dien!

You asked about more of my favorites and as I perused I mentioned some of them....just shared with Bob about reading "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand this year...a classic it took me WAY too long to get to!

I also am enjoying a reader edited by Helen Palmer called "Inner Knowing." Excellent book that is really cross cultural...tending towards the Spiritual. Even some stuff in there about my beloved Al....(as in Einstein).

I am actually reading two books as "Courses" approaching them as if I was doing independent study. One is called "You Already Know What to Do" by Sharon Franquemont and "The Confidence Course" by Walter Anderson.

I am looking for a good read on (believe it or not) the craft of winemaking....

Looking over my list, I seem to include the most *touchy feely* of the bunch. Hmmmmmm...very interesting!

Hope you are well, Dien!

With Purpose and Passion,

Re: Everything by JF (Jim) Straw and...
 

Julie - I'm impressed re your Atlas Shrugged indepth experience - it took me over a month to read it without taking notes! Perhaps I should reread it your way to get and retain more of the book's content - my main memory is of really small print in the paperback version:-)

I enjoyed some of the observation exercises and started a journal in Leo's style. I also was interested in seeing mind mapping as a major way of balancing brain hemispheres - I just thought it was a neat way to organize thoughts, speeches and projects quickly!

Re Michael Ross's work, I'm sure if you email him he'll let you know how to get it!
