Got tagged by Director Tom with the Page 123 meme. He tagged me via Twitter, which is a new twist.

The point of this meme is to take whatever book you are reading right now and share sentences 6-8 on page 123. Here it goes.

Right now I’m reading Who Are You Really, and What Do You Want? by Shad Helmstetter.

Gorgeous and I had a chance to meet the author a couple years back in Nashville. Actually Gorgeous had lunch with him, if I remember right. He even signed her copy of the book, which is the one I’m reading at the moment.

Anyway, here’s what is on page 123:

Tagging Others

What good is a meme if you don’t share it?

I’m sure some of y’all have been tagged with this already.
That’s OK. You should be onto a different book by now anyway.

Sunday Morning Goodness - 15 April 2007

I know it is tax deadline day. But it’s Sunday so they probably are giving you until tomorrow to file since the mail isn’t running today. (Don’t hold me to that, though. I filed a while back because I’d overpaid and wanted my money back quickly.)

Anyway I was just poking around my feed reader this morning and there is so much great stuff out there you oughtta see. For example,

• Blog Business Summit shares how Listening to the Demands of Online Communities Can Bring Profit. Don’t make the mistake Viacom is making. Find out if folks are talking about your business on line. Then join the conversation!
• Robert Hruzek at Middle Zone Musings shares a life lesson with a dose of humor in Fear of Flying. Be sure to read to the end of that one. His point is one you don’t want to miss.
• Over at Small Business Hub Brian Halligan is comparing the differences in the cable TV and traditional periodical publishing (on dead tree) industries in Let a Million Diggs and Reddits Bloom as a lead in for their new Digg-like service oriented specifically for business folks called Daily Hub. I think the idea has potential.
• Rich G. over at simplerich shares about reading one of my favorite leadership books in Spring Cleaning and Navy Seals?!? I like the book so much I quoted it in my very first post over here at SuccessCREEations, Success Principle #1 - Get Started! (I think somehow exclamation points are required when referencing that book. )

Grab yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy!

CREEating Value - 21 March 2007

CREEating Value - About once a week I go through my feed reader and pull out a few gems that bring value to you as a business blogger. We’re overdue ’cause I sorta skipped last week. (oops!)

And I am personally going through a bit of a challenging week on the non-blogging front. So today I thought I’d go through and pick out a few that make me think, and that I find encouraging.

Here are this week’s juicy finds.

Enjoy!

Middle Zone Musings (feed) - Besides having one of those names that I am in perpetual fear of misspelling, Robert Hruzek has created a place at his blog where I can go hang out with a cup of coffee when I want to shift mental gears. At Middle Zone Musings I can relax and ponder some ideas. Sometimes they are big ideas, and sometimes just a little on the silly side. Either way, Robert’s got a refreshing take on things and I really enjoy hanging out at his place. And he just recently graduated himself from Blogger to WordPress too!

The Kitchen Table (feed) - Not sure if you know it or not, but I’m a fairly spiritual guy. I don’t like to beat people up with my views on the subject and I keep much of my spiritual stuff over on my personal blog. But this week has been a challenging one for me and hanging around Tariq Khan’s Kitchen Table has been just the right dose of encouragement for me. Tariq’s a brand new blogger that I had the pleasure of getting to know over at Open Comment Night one Tuesday. His writing may not be a good fit for everyone, but if you are up for some encouragement, head on over. I know I’m glad I do.

BrianKim.net (feed) - Brian Kim is a fairly traditional self-improvement writer who just happens to resonate with me. In fact it was Brian’s practical hands on advice in his post How to Find What You Love to Do that helped propel my business forward in the first place. Brian’s authored several books and has been a student of self improvement since he was a child. And yet he still shares all that wisdom freely with the world day after day on his blog. You are missing out if you choose not to read it.
