When you have the enthusiasm and the passion, you end up figuring how to excel. — Deena Kastor, U.S. Olympic Marathoner
1.) Brazen Careerist: I finally decided to see what Brazen Careerist was all about and I am glad I did. There are tons of very useful and compelling content. It’s very simple to navigate with its clean design, and finding connections is a breeze. You can either import those from your other networks, start reading and fanning, or, most importantly, join the networks that best match your interests or purpose.
2.) Blogcast FM: Is a podcast by bloggers for bloggers. It was originally a weekly podcast series called ‘up and coming bloggers’, it then took a life of its own. There are tons of great interviews in here to really get your heart pumping in wanting to leverage the opportunities that lie within this space. It paints you a nice picture that all bloggers started out essentially in the same place, making it a litter easier to step out of your comfort zone. I enjoy listening because it keeps my motivation always lit.

Happy Holidays!
I had a very relaxing and pleasant Christmas. I was able to catch up with some old friends as well as spend a few days with my family. Though the weather was unpredictable at times my wife and I managed to share time with both families.
Love, Family, and Friends are amazing gifts.
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. Happy New Year!
Short and sweet…

To be a consistent winner means preparing not just one day, one month, or even one year—but for a lifetime. — Bill Rodgers
A week of ideas….
1.) Idea Organizer: Too often I lose great ideas and thoughts because they occur when I’m least expecting them — in your car, bike ride, walk, out-n-about, etc. While doing all of these things you’ll always have your phone handy. This new app allows you to write, snap a photo, or record an idea. It organizes it and you can then email it to yourself to expand on your thought. It seems to be a very nifty tool.
2.) Idea Paint: This is just super cool! I will definitely be applying this to a wall in my home office. Enjoy!

Very informative couple of minutes.
2.) WorkSung: “We’re all mobile and the city is our office”. This is a blogger’s, or any type of web worker’s wi-fi compass. Check out the video, you’ll be impressed.
Currently Reading: I read “Crush It!” by Gary Vaynerchuk over the weekend and will discuss it further on a later post. I just picked up “The Power of Less” by Leo Babauta and am really looking forward to this read.

Wufoo – A startup providing easily edible contact forms just released a new feature… a payment form. The user can make purchases through paypal or a credit card. The owner will receive a notification of all the appropriate information and they can also customize the customer’s invoice to include personalized logos and designs. Very cool for the freelance type or small businesses in not having to deal with any HTML code. It’s just a copy and paste process into your website or blog. Ta da!… It’s that easy.
