TIP OF THE WEEK

Mark:  My tip of the week is going to change your life, which is joepulizzi.com. Check out Joe’s newsletter, the books. Every aspect of marketing, he has you covered.

Scott: Sometimes we just need a quick resource to go and check things out whether it’s a quote of the day or site of the day, check out this website called The Reference’s Desk (refdesk.com). What’s cool is they have a site of the day, like a fun fact, thought of the day, a book of the month. 

Joe: The book that I used as an entrepreneur, that helped me through all sorts of issues was Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. The big lesson in that is writing down your goals and reviewing those goals on a regular basis. That’s my secret that’s not a secret to success in entrepreneurship: I write down my goals, I have 5 or 6 main goals for every year that I look at and review them every day. And when you review them in the morning, you do different things based on those goals. This new book, I was surprised because I had low expectations on this book, it’s Greenlights by Mathew McConaughey. I really thought it’s not a good book, but I read it, he wrote down his goals on a regular basis and review them. Great lessons and I learned a lot about myself reading that book. The real focus on that is goal setting and goal reading.
