Fearless Money

After a month hiatus, I am back to taking shots of my “virtual coffeetable”, where I’ve stacked all the books I am actively reading.

This summer, I took a break from my non-fiction diet, since a book I’d long been anticipating finally came out. I knew the first one was a cliffhanger, so I waited (years) until the second half of the story came out. Each is about 800 pages, so that was a lot to read! I thoroughly enjoyed both “Pandora’s Star” (Peter F. Hamilton) and “Judas Unchained” (Peter F. Hamilton)

This month

On my coffee table this month are:

• “Think And Grow Rich! The Original Version, Restored and Revised” (Napoleon Hill) - Excellent, classic money self-help book.
• “The Irresistible Offer: How to Sell Your Product or Service in 3 Seconds or Less” (Mark Joyner) - A great, easy to read, book on marketing and positioning.
• “Let My People Go Surfing: The Education of a Reluctant Businessman” (Yvon Chouinard) - The Patagonia story.
• “Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway” (Susan Jeffers) - An anti-procrastination book. I’m not that much a procrastinator, but I could use a bit of help to get rid of the last remnants of my old habit.
• “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth” (T. Harv Eker) - He’s an extremely good and motivating speaker. I’ve been listening to a recording of his Millionaire Intensive Weekend seminar, and that made me want to buy and read this book.

• “CSS Mastery: Advanced Web Standards Solutions” (Andy Budd, Simon Collison, Cameron Moll) - This book is helping me take my CSS skills to the next level.
• “Book Yourself Solid: The Fastest, Easiest, and Most Reliable System for Getting More Clients Than You Can Handle Even if You Hate Marketing and Selling” (Michael Port) - encouraging, readable book on how to approach a service business to stay happy and “booked solid” with business.
• “Meditation in a New York Minute: Super Calm for the Super Busy” (Mark Thornton) - A breezy meditation book, fun and straightforward.
• “Web Copy That Sells: The Revolutionary Formula for Creating Killer Copy Every Time” (Maria Veloso) - Demystifies the process of creating web copy for me, and makes it a step-by-step formula.
