New Business Books!

I recently added the following books to my collection... I am very interested in the qualities, strategies, and mindset of successful coaches (the late John Wooden and Pete Carroll). I want to see what qualities separate a consistent great coach from an average one.

I am also really getting into Seth Godin. I read his blog daily (Seth's Blog) and think he is brilliant and precise. "The Mesh" by Lisa Gansky was a book recommended by Seth Godin recently on his blog.

Here is a brief summary of "The Mesh"

Traditional businesses follow a simple formula: create a product or service, sell it, collect money. But in the last few years a fundamentally different model has taken root-one in which consumers have more choices, more tools, more information, and more peer-to-peer power. Pioneering entrepreneur Lisa Gansky calls it the Mesh and reveals why it will soon dominate the future of business.

I'd be interested to hear any comments or suggestions on similar types of books. 

  

The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick)

 

Win Forever: Live, Work, and Play Like a Champion

The Mesh: Why the Future of Business Is Sharing

I got sold P90X

I wanted to let everyone know that I bought P90X... after tons of references and doing my homework; I have decided to commit myself to the 90 day program.

My hat goes off to Tony Horton for putting together a Marketing campaign that includes a resource filled website, blog, Facebook page, Twitter account, countless success stories, video testimonials, and a customer base that constantly promotes the results and product.

 The thing that sold me on this is you have to actually work out, eat right, and stay dedicated (unlike the other miracle routines); which won't be easy, but I am looking forward to the challenge.

I will keep you posted along the way as I go through the program... it arrives next week!

If anyone has any advice on how to execute on the program... please comment below.

Stress Relief

Two causes of stress are:
1. Lack of control
2. Lack of predictability

Next time you feel stressed, take a deep breath, and decide if you have either. 

Then move on.

It will change your life.
