Biz Reads: Get Creative!

April over at BlacksburgBelle.com takes a look at some books for creative entrepreneurs you might have missed.

The Creative Entrepreneur by Lisa Sonora Beam
This is a DIY visual guidebook for making business ideas real. Do you ever wonder why business, numbers, and marketing aren’t that easy for artists and other creatives? It’s because we live in our right brains–and we have to engage our left brains to do all the business stuff.

The Handmade Marketplace by Kari Chapin
Anybody new to selling their handmade products online or at craft shows needs this book. It will walk you through branding your business, marketing, craft shows, selling online and in stores, and more.

The Art of Possibility by Rosamund Stone Zander and Benjamin Zander
At first, this book might not seem like a business book–and that’s because it’s so much more. If you worry that there aren’t enough customers or that they are too many handmade sellers, you need this book. If you let it, this book may just change your outlook on life and open up a lot of possibilities.

Fascinate by Sally Hogshead
I read this book in one sitting. I just couldn’t put it down. If you want to know what makes people buy things, what triggers you should be using in your marketing, and how to connect better with your target market, you need to read this book. Sally provides lots of real world examples and gives you concepts you can start applying to your creative business today.
