Catching up...

So, I was berated last week for not posting. I apologize. There have been a lot of things I've been thinking about, so I will try to get caught up with the stuff in my inbox today and post a lot.

(For those wondering, I had 2 job interviews and applied for 4 more jobs last week.)

Seth Godin had an interesting blog over the weekend. He posted in regards to Learning all the time (read it here). It seems as though those reading this blog fall into the category of life-long learners - way to go! Seth included a link to a new book out, The 100 Best Business Books of All Time. Sounds like a great read to me! I'm going to see if the library is getting it and try to get my hands on a copy.

On Friday I came across a book store going out of business located at 309 W Washington, most of the paperbacks were $6.50. I picked up a couple of new fiction books to read and a non-fiction book titled "How To Talk So People Listen." Thus far it has been an interesting read. The first two chapters are dedicated to generational and ethnic differences in addition to discussing the effects of the television and technology revolutions on the way we communicate and absorb messages.

"Click" an internet marketing book that Oriana read and told me about came in to the library on Friday, I also have a book at Barnes and Noble that I ordered that has come in. More about those once I start reading them!

Maybe I shouldn't get a job until I finish all my reading...

  1. I just ordered a couple business books myself -- one on word-of-mouth marketing (maybe even from a blog you linked me to?), and one on fundraising that was mentioned in the NYTimes. I'll let you know if they are any good!

    Random link: Marketing tips from Vertical Response. They tend to be obvious, but the kind of obvious things that can be helpful to be quickly reminded of every so often.
