Reviewing the Art of Work by Jeff Goins
by
Do you have a calling? Maybe ‘calling’ is too heavy a word and you can’t relate to it. Do you have a purpose? Or maybe a better question is, do you know your purpose? If you’re not sure yet then do you have any idea how to find it — or are you simply adrift…
Reviewing Will it Fly by Pat Flynn
by
We’ve all got ideas. Occasionally we even think we have a good idea. However, it’s rare that any of us actually take the time to execute on an idea. Good ideas are common, but those who are willing to take action and execute those ideas are far more rare. – Will it Fly One of…
Review: The Front Nine by Mike Vardy
by
Today I’d like to offer you my review of The Front Nine by Mike Vardy. In this book, Vardy uses the game of golf as an analogy to illustrate how we approach and launch projects (or start a new year) in business. His point is that we don’t have to begin a ‘new year’ on January 1st,…

Listen to a current business/motivational podcast for more…
Reviewing Rework
by
Last March, I read another book from Basecamp (formerly 37Signals) called Remote. Well, more accurately, I started it and about 20 pages in I was bored of pithy statements about the state of remote work. So what about Rework, which I had read when it came out and remembered it to be a similar format. Have…
Reviewing The Virtual Assistant Solution by Michael Hyatt
by
Last week I sat down and read The Virtual Assistant Solution by Micheal Hyatt. The goal of the book is to help show you the benefits of hiring a virtual assistant and equip you for success with that assistant. This quick read accomplishes both of those tasks well. Let’s take a look at some of…
Reviewing: The Price is Right
by
Just a few weeks ago Chris Lema released a book all about pricing called The Price is Right. If you want a one sentence summary: It’s a one day read with the knowledge that will help you change your business life long. Want a second sentence? I’d still feel I got value of the book…
