How to Improve Your Yellow Page Advertising
| |
| "If you look at a 1951 Yellow Pages directory from Buffalo, New York, the ads appear basically the same then as they do now, not counting the recent addition of various color options. Forty-five years later, advertisers for the most part are still just highlighting their name and phone number. By simply enlarging the information that appears in their free listing, advertisers are definitely not getting as much out of their ads as they could be." |

For Poor Results, Work Like Crazy
| |
| Here’s a really unintelligent idea: Work like crazy without a break for thirty to forty years so you can do . . . nothing for the next thirty to forty years.
An effective time manager knows the importance of grouping similar activities together in one block of time—but this tip should be applied to days or weeks, not to forty-year spans.
This article will discuss whole-life symmetry and why it's better than working like crazy and more effective than "work-life balance".

Best Book on Painting Tips for Artists I Ever Read
| |
| TITLE: BEST BOOK ON PAINTING TIPS FROM CHARLES WEBSTER HAWTHORNE (1872-1930)
As An artist and a writer, I study all the time the masters in those fields, those who struggled and won. Why? Because I am still struggling and need their tools to win.
I recently read Charles Webster Hawthorne on Painting, collected by Mrs. Charles. W. Hawthorne with an Introduction by Edwin Dickinson, an Appreciation by Hans Hoffman, and Biographical Notes by Joseph Hawthorne, his son.
These forty tools I gleaned from Hawthorne’s tips to help his students create more masterful paintings. In working to understand these forty tools, I felt like one of his students. I wish the same for you.
