“…unlike most filmmaking guides, this one focuses specifically on the needs of the no-budget filmmaker. There are no expectations of having expensive equipment or paying lots of money for accommodations, craft services, etc. The only expectation is to do as good quality a job as you can with the money and friends you have.”

ABC Checklist for New Writers |
“The ABC Checklist for New Writers by Lorraine Mace and Maureen Vincent-Northam answers all these questions and solves this problem. It’s like having a professional writer who knows all the answers, right by your side.
Laid out in an alphabetical format, the answers are easy to find. Each point is also cross-referenced to ensure that you get all the information you need. For example, if you were to look up ‘Revision & Resubmitting’, you’d find yourself directed to look at ‘Kill Fees’ and ‘Rejections’, as well as getting practical information as to how to analyse your work to make the necessary revising improvements. Each checklist also has a bullet pointed summary at the end to reinforce the important facts.”

The 4-Hour Work Week |
What do you do? Tim Ferriss has trouble answering the question. Depending on when you ask this controversial Princeton University guest lecturer, he might answer:
“I race motorcycles in Europe.”
“I ski in the Andes.”
“I scuba dive in Panama.”
“I dance tango in Buenos Aires.”
He has spent more than five years learning the secrets of the New Rich, a fast-growing subculture who has abandoned the “deferred-life plan” and instead mastered the new currencies—time and mobility—to create luxury lifestyles in the here and now.
Whether you are an overworked employee or an entrepreneur trapped in your own business, this book is the compass for a new and revolutionary world. Join Tim Ferriss as he teaches you:
• How to outsource your life to overseas virtual assistants for $5 per hour and do whatever you want
• How blue-chip escape artists travel the world without quitting their jobs
• How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using the principles of a forgotten Italian economist
• How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and freuent “mini-retirements”
• What the crucial difference is between absolute and relative income
• How to train your boss to value performance over presence, or kill your job (or company) if it’s beyond repair
• What automated cash-flow “muses” are and how to create one in 2 to 4 weeks
• How to cultivate selective ignorance—and create time—with a low-information diet
• What the management secrets of Remote Control CEOs are
• How to get free housing worldwide and airfare at 50–80% off
• How to fill the void and create a meaningful life after removing work and the office
You can have it all—really.

The Dip |
The old saying is wrong—winners do quit, and quitters do win.
Winners quit fast, quit often, and quit without guilt—until they commit to beating the right Dip for the right reasons.
Losers, on the other hand, fall into two basic traps. Either they fail to stick out the Dip—they get to the moment of truth and then give up—or they never even find the right Dip to conquer.
Seth Godin doesn’t claim to have all the answers. But he will teach you how to ask the right questions.

The Power of an Hour |
Every day, we set out to create a better life, a better career, or a better business. Sometimes we succeed, but often we fail because we simply fall into old patterns. But what if by devoting just one single, focused hour a week you could make big improvements in your professional life? And what if you knew in advance exactly what to focus on so that you could utterly destroy your old patterns?
The Power of an Hour gives you the blueprint for making changes one at a time that add up to a big difference. Most books that promise to help you improve yourself and your business are too formulaic and too focused on one particular aspect of life to really work. But this book is different. It’s a holistic guide to the practical, everyday actions you can use to supercharge your personal and business development.
