I heard this quote recently that went “You can tell a person by what they have on their Ipod.”  What’s on my Ipod then and how does this relate to the business of illustrated children’s books?  I have an 80 gig video Ipodand it is mostly filled with educational stuff.  Granted, my movies take up a majority of space on my Ipod with my favorites such as Godfather, Braveheart and 300 but it’s really other media.  Here’s my educational stuff:  Anthony Robbins, Automaic Millionaire by David Bach, Donald Trump How to get Rich (Yes the Donald), Enlightened Wealth Training by T Harv Eker, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, Negotiations, Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, Self Made Millionaire by Brian Tracy, and a ton of teleseminars.  Of course I have some music but it’s really less than 30 total songs.  My educational materials probably totals over 40 hours of great stuff. 

Luckily for me, I spend a lot of time in the car close to 2.5 hours.  So instead of listening to the news or radio stations, I educate myself while I’m driving.  I fill my head with things that will support me and keep me learning.  I’m an avid learner admittedly so.  If you’re not growing you’re dying.  So I try to learn something new everyday and having the Ipod sure helps.  I’ve met so many people like myself that believe in mobile education or the “University on Wheels” as Brian Tracy says.
