I was at the beach house this weekend, and stumbled across a bunch of my old audiobooks… actually books on tape – yep, old skool.
Like I said in the video, I devour about 2 books a week.. and was inspired recently by a couple of peoples reading lists – in particular Tucker Max, Ryan Holiday’s Reading List, Hoehn’s Musings, Seth Godin’s Book Roundup and Tim Ferriss & Kevin Roses’ Top 5 Books.
So with all that rolling around in my head, and finding those old audio books I listened to during high-school and uni, I thought I’d tie this in with a short video covering the most influential books I’ve devoured over the years.
As Ryan says “I’d recommend starting with these and then following my chain-method, which is to read as your next book, one that is cited by the book your currently reading.”
If you are interested in getting into the whole audiobook thing, and ‘hacking’ your reading I suggest you check out www.Audible.com
Enjoy.

I just came across these Twitter Nike Dunks and oh do I want them.
It’s my birthday next week – So if anyone can magically make a size 12 appear in my office I’ll give you free consulting for a year or a really long back massage – which ever you see more value in.

See, I’ve been looking for a way to implement the same automated follow-up marketing offline via direct mail for about a year, and not a single direct mail print company (in Australia or USA) offered a solution. They all offered the ability to do a mail merge (variable data) print run, if I wanted [...] Continue Reading…
The old adage of ‘be (read: advertise) where your customers are’ simply doesn’t cut it any more.
It’s all about going where your customers are looking; NOT where they are…
Yeah, customers are on facebook and twitter, but that’s not where they are looking.
Marketing and advertising on social media sites is, in most cases, as effective as billboard advertising on the freeway.
Just because people are on the freeway (twitter/facebook) doesn’t mean they are actively looking for your products…
It’s not about being where they are, it’ about being where they are looking.
