So many books to read, so little time
I know, third post in as many days, what’s going on? Well as the New Year has started, the flood gates of information have started as well.
I have been getting inundated with all types of information regarding what 2010 will be like, some like the Don Campbell interview I have passed on, other less valuable information I have read myself and will incorporate into future posts.
One of the pieces of information I recently received was a link to Seth Godin’s new FREE ebook that is a compilation of thoughts from over 70 different authors. Most of the people you may have never heard of, but you may want to learn more about them once you read some of their views and thoughts.
The book is called What Matters Now and provides you many things to think about for this year. Here is the link for you to access this, Seth Godin – What Matters Now ebook.
If you haven’t read anything else of Seth’s, I highly recommend you pick up a couple of his books either at Chapter’s or the library, or you order them online from Amazon here, Seth Godin book’s. One of my favorites was The Dip, which talks about the inevitable dip in a growing business and helps guide you to whether you need to quit or push forward before you waste to much time. Lily, this may be for you!
Two others you may also want to check out (although they are all good!) are Purple Cow, and Meatball Sundae. He does like unique titles! There are numerous other titles as well, but these would make an excellent start, especially for anyone involved in marketing.
Just to help introduce you slowly you can download his other recent book Tribes as a free audio file to play on your iPod or other MP3 player. It is available through a service called Audible.com and as a warning they require you to load some software on your computer to properly download the audio book. The direct link for this is as follows, Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us – Seth Godin Free Audio Book.
If anyone has already heard this I would love to get your thoughts, (Harold, did you end up listening to it?). I thought it had some very valuable points in there and I am trying to apply several of them, some right in this post!
Growing a successful Real Estate business, or any business for that matter, requires a willingness to learn and Seth Godin has many ideas for people to learn. So if you have read any of his books, would you recommend them? If so, could you tell the tribe why, because remember if it helped you, it may help someone else to read it as well?

Love the frequent posts… your making up for all that guilt of late posts last year! I’m a big fan of Seth G, a 21st century thinker. Clear advocate for anti-masses mentality. Thanks for the link to his free e-book…Post on!
Yes he is great, but did you ever listen to Tribes after I sent you the link last year?
