So I’m thinking God is trying to tell me something.
I was sitting in my recliner last night, trying to squeeze in a quick bible study. But it was tough, cuz I had just read some emails from the office that got me worked up. Got me REALLY worked up. They put me on that “who do you think you are” mode.
Then I realized I had felt this way about three or four times in the past couple weeks. Which is not normal for me. And as much as I wanted continue wallowing in my inflamed anger toward those questioning my greatness, it hit me that, given the recent frequency of these events, maybe the problem was with me.
I think God hit me upside the head and said “Boy, you got an ego problem.”
I recently finished Donald Miller’s A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life. (aff. link) I was already a pseudo-fan of Miller’s, but this book pushed me over the edge. The video below gives the details, but here are the main reasons you need to read this book:

I’ll be re-reading this book about every two years, just to remind me of stuff I’m sure I’ll find ways to forget.
Here’s Donald’s website. And below is my summary of the book.
I recently finished up Joel Comm’s book Twitter Power 2.0. The video below gives you the good stuff, but here’s the 10-second version:
Pretty good practical resource for people new to Twitter. Joel does a nice job of really covering the bases and giving good guidelines for setting things up.
If you’re fairly familiar with Twitter already, you’ll definitely want to just skip through quite a few parts. But in the midst of all that are some pretty good morsels to put to use.
The list of third party resources in the back is very helpful.
Inbound Marketing is a great read, but I’ve got two big tips for the writers: rethink your acronyms.
If you like beer and history and doing good thing, you’ll enjoy reading The Search for God and Guinness by Stephen Mansfield. If you don’t like doing any of those things, I think you’ll still like the book. It’s an informative look at the story behind both Guinness and Dublin, Ireland, and how the giving [...]
Gary Vaynerchuk’s book Crush It is simply the best of its kind when it comes to the best way to use social media.
eBooks, reports and guides for entrepreneurs about branding, small business marketing, Twitter, teaching, marketing and creative design.
