Get audible.com, buy the ones below that are on there, and listen. Otherwise read for 15 minutes in morning (when mind is fresh and not drifting off to sleep), or after a Caffeine Nap. If they change you the way they’ve changed me, you’ll be glad you took the time. If you’re in doubt, Google terms like ‘wealthy people read books’, etc.
Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Don’t get hung up on the real estate concept, but focus on the mindset. This is the book that was recommended to me by a friend 4+ years ago and got me started. When I read it I spent most of my spare time working my job and watching TV, etc.. 4 years later I spend most of my free time planning and working toward leaving the job for good.
Mastery. Once you understand the path to it (I had to read it twice), you tend to be calmer and content with the plateau of ‘work’ in getting good at something. Plus, it allows you to draw similarities between your path to mastery of Google hacking and the path of a Ninja, and that’s always fun.
The Secret. I have the DVD and audio, and have listen/watched them a total of 12+ times, and is still on my iPod. I have many big and exact examples of how the law of attraction has worked for me and mine.
Success is not an Accident. Still implementing this one, but is hard core work if you take it seriously. I expect it to give me laser focus on my life goals and projects by the time I’m through it.
Getting Things Done. Don’t just read this. Take a year to implement it. Trust me. Companies may start to prefer it, CNN boasts about it, and heck even Leo Laporte recommends it. After several methods including paper/Moleskine, Outlook, and Remember The Milk, I have stuck with My Life Organized because it’s digital, runs anywhere and keeps in sync, and I can take it with me on my Windows Mobile phone.
The Nikon D40 is a new member of our household. Now I wish we had bought it years ago. Took it to Zoe’s the other night, and the picture quality between it and my favorite pocket camera, the Sony DSC-100, are almost night and day better. I had no idea the difference it would make. Most of that may be due to the SB-400 flash and using “bounce” lighting, which I learned over at Ken’s site. BIG thanks to Ken and the amazing amount of Nikon material he’s got.
