Friday Subject: Industry Experts or News

(Friday blog posts are dedicated to finding a larger studio space, an interior designer to plan it and the furniture to fill it.  I am looking for sponsors.  I have advertising space to trade for stuff.

Good day to you dear Friends,

Closer and closer Christmas day comes.  And right afterwards looms something very attractive for wise shoppers: Boxing Day.  Its a time to spend money but also to carefully count your savings to see what deals you can best take advantage of for this special time. 

What are you going to buy this boxing Day? Myself, I am looking for a good solid sweater with nice colors.  I am wearing a lovely lavender fleecy jacket but it is a trifle snug and a tad unflattering.  (too much good food you know).  And also some good tights.  And finally its time to look into a new computer.  That is going to be a tough one. 

All this money talk makes one interested in a little sage advice and the web has many experts to listen to. Just yesterday I listened to three podcasts:

1WSJ.com

2. A New Business Podcast by Chris Ducker
www.chrisducker.com

3.
theselfemployed.com
(podcast by Steve Strauss)

Here are my notes in a nutshell:

And you can go to the podcasts at the following links

At www.chrisducker.com I listened to

NBP074 – Be the Best Version of the REAL You, with Jeff Goins

(Today’s show ......is..for any of us who have ever struggled to find our calling and express who we really are in the marketplace, in our businesses and in our lives.)

I also listened to

http://theselfemployed.com/featured/podcast-john-ratzenberger/

This is what they have to say about the interview:

On this week’s Small Business with Steve Strauss powered by Greatland podcast Steve interviews a legend!  You may know him as Cliff from Cheers or from his appearances in every Pixar movie, but John Ratzenberger is also a tremendous advocate of Small Businesses.
John has teamed up with the Made In America Store to help promote the importance of buying American-made products.

finally I listened to:
WSJ.com (that's from the Wall Street Journal)
 I couldn't access the podcast on the web but I did find it at the ITunes store.... free.

Well that is all for now.  I hope you enjoyed it and mostly benefited from it.  I will be ready to cash in my million soon after listening to that wise advice  (Well maybe next year). 

How is your work on your first million dollars going? write me with news at www.Facebook.com/TheartFabiancompany

Have a great day and most of all don't forget your budget before you buy your stuff.  I will talk to you soon.

'A lecture From the Business, Employment and Vocational Skills podcasts created by The Hadley School for the Blind' Hello Friend, A Little Chit Chat First How are you today?  Is it cold outside where you are?  I am writing this late at night because I was very tired when I came home today.  It is very cold outside here in Montreal and I just crashed out after supper. Its 9:00 p.m.  I just went downstairs to the cafeteria and got myself a good solid snack.  So now I am happy to talk to you about the podcast that I heard yesterday. Today I am going to talk about an Industry Expert.  This time I have chosen the Seminars from the Hadley School of the Blind.   Useful Tip to Rest your Eyes If you are like me and you use your eyes a lot, a podcast is a very good thing.  You can either just listen and rest your eyes or you can do some filing as you listen.

Quality Framing and Trouble

I had to stop my association with my framer which was a major drag.  I said two things actually. One is that I feel that continuing to put money into professional framing is not only time consuming and hindering my ongoing fight with poverty. Two, I feel that there has been a backlash against the actual quality work of the framer.  There has always been some bad feeling for the gallery concerning the fact that it is on the floor I live on which is not necessarily of the same religious persuasion of the congregation that owns and runs it. It might be that the excellent work that has been done is a bone of contention to some significant players in the place. That was one thing For some reason, not too long after the conversation and final association with the said framer I was contacted by a good and qualified patron of the arts who was terminally ill.  She had painstakingly collected some very important magazines throughout her life and being enamored of them kept them...

A Good Exhibition: but the Wrong Kind of Art

I met a couple of art specialists and we were discussing the major problem with my art which is I have zero income. That includes my exhibition in the residence I live in. This exhibition has been very much instrumental in upgrading the clientele and the reputation of the house.  However, it has been years I have been working on it and there has been a lot of time and money spent on it with no income. time is passing and I am growing older.  I wondered why and the first thing I came up with is that I knew quite clearly that the work I was exhibiting was not of the kind that was commonly taken as "serious" in prestigious homes and exhibitions that I saw.  Since I had no money I knew that my place to get that kind of art would be in quality prints, more specifically old books found in thrift shops and the like. But a better opportunity would come up. For some reason, not too long after the conversation with the specialists, I was contacted by a good and qualified patron o...
