6 Must Reads that can help you to be Successful
The next book I'm going to throw out there, I think that there's a lot of different books that can be read about this. Biographies. I think biographies when it comes to success are really good. You can see how somebody did something. There's a lot of different books on this. I could name tons of different authors of usually bigger CEOs that have written books on success and how they got to where they are today
The next book I want to mention is The One Thing by Gary Keller. The basic premise of this book is that all of us have one thing that we're good at, one. And I can't remember what dollar value he attributes to it, but we all have that $100 an hour skill or $1,000 an hour skill or $5,000 an hour skill that we're really good at or that we tend to be good at
The next really interesting book I read quite a while ago. And this book is a lot of statistics. So, like, I listened to the audiobook and I got a lot out of it, but it's not light reading. It's kind of a fun book. And when you realize what they're talking about and just the subjects they're going into, it's kind of interesting. But that book would be The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley
But just because you can make the best product in the world does not mean that you can be successful in business. And I'm pretty sure he mentions in that book too, these things can be trained.

I think he just had some crappy running shoes. Like he wasn't even trying. He was just going out there to do it. He had a lawn chair and a box of crackers and he ran 100 miles at 70 miles
This is going to be a bonus book because I already crossed six. So it's the third door by Alex Banyan. I have not read this in a really long time, but at the time I read it, I was very I thought it was an amazing book. He has a lot of interesting things to say. He he worked his way into a lot of very wealthy, so successful people's presence to ask them questions
And I'll have to think if I can think of any other books that are kind of in that creative realm, obviously that's 3D animation, not painting or drawing, but obviously they were able to monetize it. So they were very successful. It's hard to figure out those different ways to make money with art specifically, especially since I don't think there's as much appreciation for art as there once was
So here's another thought. The Q and A with Jeff Goldsmith, the podcast. If you have not heard that podcast probably be right up your alley. He basically interviews screenwriters a lot of times. Live, I think. Maybe all live, come to think of it. I think he's still doing it. So, like, every single movie that comes out, he usually goes and interviews the writers. And it's pretty interesting
