Money Management for the Creative Person: Right Brain Strategies to Build Your Bank Account and Find the Financial Freedom to Create
Don’t Let Money Stall Your Creative Career!
Ask an artist, a musician, an actor, or a graphic designer, and each and every one will tell you the same thing: To have the money to create, you have to be creative with your money. If you’re lucky enough to have found the perfect career for you, one that lets you showcase your talents and keeps your creative juices flowing, congratulations! However, Lee Silber knows the dirty reality most of you are all too familiar with: Even when your creative juices are really flowing, that doesn’t necessarily mean that money is pouring in at the same pace. In Money Management for the Creative Person, Lee Silber offers a myriad of valuable advice for doing just that, including:
• How to know which of your creative talents are the most marketable and can earn you the most money
• How to take the “free” out of freelance and charge what you’re worth
• Why you should avoid the pitfalls of accumulating too much debt in
a lean time—and should always remember the importance of saving in a boom time
• Remembering that you can succeed in your endeavors without selling your creative soul
• How to find the funds to finance your dreams
Full of eye-opening facts, instructive anecdotes, and real-life examples from Silber’s own experience, Money Management for the Creative Person is your guide to getting a financial life—so you can maintain your creative one.

…and reading Mr. Silbers book has convinced me of this. Mr. Silber shows you how to set goals for money management and artistic endeavors without putting your life on hold. You can pay your bills and still pursue your art. This book shows you the way and explains how it is all about choices. The choices we make. The author’s writing style makes the book fun to read and his easy to understand philosophy makes it believable. -

I just finished this book and it’s amazing! With most books I just read it then put it away forever. With Money Management for the Creative Person I am already putting Mr. Silber’s valuable advice to work. What is so great about this book is that you not only get a ton of financial advice, but inspiration to keep creating in the face of adversity. The book it packed with real life stories from himself, celebrities and real-life people. It’s very motivating. I highly recommend this book even if you feel like your finances are in order and you don’t need help. -

Little did I know that AFTER I thought I’d never see the “light of day” concerning my finances, that this book would come into my life. It’s informative, funny, well written, and just a great book for everyone. I’ve given it out to a couple of friends and then I thought, “Hey, GO BUY YOUR OWN!” Lee Silber is an author that makes it easy for someone, like me, that doesn’t read a great deal, to flash those pages quicker than the remote on my TV. Thanks Lee! I can now go to sleep feeling like I can use your guides and NOT have to worry about what the Hell is going to take place tomorrow! -

As a novelist and short story writer, and as a college writing instructor, I have read–literally–hundreds of books on the writing craft, the writing life, grammar, inspiration, technique, biographies of writers, finding an agent, and on and on and on.However, until now, no one–until Mr. Silber, that is–has spent any time talking about the four most important aspects of a creative life: career management, time management, self-promotion, and now, MONEY MANAGEMENT FOR THE CREATIVE PERSON. As someone who has read and seen remarkable results from his previous three books, I am equally excited about putting into practice the principles Silber describes in Money Management.Too often among “creative” people, topics like self-promotion and money are considered dirty, somehow beneath them. “Leave us alone,” they say, “we want to work on our art.” If there is one principle or theme that runs through Money Management, it’s this: in order to sustain a situation that will support your creativity, you have to earn money. From there, Lee gives us creatives dozens of new paradigms for how we can and should view money. While Silber’s book provides excellent, practical examples on how you can begin attracting more money into your life, his main mission seems to be changing your thinking. Because he knows that if he can change your thinking process about money to a more productive one, the details will follow.Do yourself a favor and buy all of Lee Silber’s books. If you’re temporarily short on cash (that is, until you finish Money Management), just buy MM and Self-Promotion for the Creative Person. Good luck. - Comment Feed for this Post

I purchased this book after reading all the reviews and have to say that I’m a bit disappointed in it. Lord knows, artists could use a pep talk or two to keep going, but I found more pep talks than concrete advice in this book. I was hoping to get ideas on how an artist could practically apply artistic skills towards full-time or freelance employment. While the author gives many examples of now-famous artists and the low-paying jobs that they took before hitting the big time, he doesn’t really give practical advice about using your artistic skills to get a decent-paying job that allows you to practice your art. He sometimes sort of starts with this: He talks about how some singers are living off song royalties, which is great, but how about filling in some steps as to how one might do that? Do you just copyright the sheet music and send it around? It sounds naive, but since his financial advice is geared towards beginners, why shouldn’t his job/career advice be as well? His tips on frugal living are fine, but I have read them in books related to frugal living. I was hoping for a bit more practical career/finance advice from this book, as one who is working a low-paying job that gives me little time for my artistic endeavors.
