Striving to make each new day better than the day before, I do quite a bit of reading. I subscribe to over 150 blog feeds and I follow nearly 1,000 people on Twitter. On a given day, I can see anywhere from 500 to over 1,000 blog posts. There are so many great blogs out there with a ton of excellent information, and I have selected a few posts that I have read recently that have had an impact on me, and that I think you may find valuable as well.
I read this post yesterday from IttyBiz, and it really made me think about myself and the things that I am doing or not doing. It you are offended by foul language, DO NOT click on the link; however, if you are not and you would like to read an entertaining and eye-opening look at one person's view on motivation, take a few minutes and check it out. For someone who has some ideas on starting a business myself, reading Johnny's post about what motivates him was very motivating to me.
This post came out earlier this year over at Zen Habits. I read it again because it was a message that I really need to take to heart. I am a perfectionist to a fault. I hate making mistakes, and this need for perfection has caused me to pass up or miss opportunities that have been right in front of me. To what end? This post makes mistakes sound pretty good.
It's a simple question and Seth Godin presents it in a way to make you think.
