Another thing I do towards the beginning of each year is review my business library and decide what areas I want to learn more in the coming year. Do I want to take a painting class or learn more about money management? Am I in need of personal growth motivation or some new website skills?
I have a library of books – both physical and digital – that I have learned from and that I turn to to build my business. Do you?
Obviously, if you want to learn about art licensing, I highly recommend any of the eBooks I have written or have co-authored or that I promote through ArtLicensingInfo.com (there is a list just to the right in the “Learn About…” box – see it?)
In addition, here is a list of books I highly recommend any artist have or have read. (You can always find these on the RESOURCES page which I update from time to time – have you ever checked it out?) Many of these are affiliate links so if you learn about them here, click and buy, I earn a few cents to a few dollars that helps me make time to keep on blogging. (therefore – clicks are greatly appreciated.)
Regardless – it is important to not only have the art skills but the business and personal skills to truly be happy and successful in your life.
Here’s to your creative success!

I’m currently reading ‘Persuasion’ by Arlene Dickinson who is a Marketing guru and also a co-host on Dragon’s Den. It’s an excellent read, and her own story is pretty remarkable.
