What you "Need to Know" before you set your new year business goals.

14 replies
I just finished reading an E-Book which opened my eyes to glaring holes in my business plans and the way I have been thinking about my business.

While the book is only 112 pages long I typed up 21 pages of notes, plans, and ideas while reading this book. (I'm not even close to being done with typing. There are ideas and thoughts spinning in my head right now.)

The E-Book is "Need to Know" by Paul Myers. Yes, that Paul Myers, the one who moderates, contributes, and shares constantly on the Warrior Forum. The same one many Warriors have cursed under their breath for being blunt, honest, and darn it, right..

If you have not read this book it is time you grabbed a copy of it from Paul. It can be found at: TalkBiz News: What you really need to know to succeed online - Online business building newsletter

The glaring holes it helped me uncover? The lack of building an effective network, mastermind group, not creating leverage with every item I produce, and a unique method of creating increased motivation for staying focused on my business.

I want to say Thank You to two people. First is Bruce Richards who in a great post discussed Paul Myers newsletter which prompted me to visit Paul's site:
http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...Bruce_Richards
I had only intended to sign up for the newsletter to see Paul's writing style, and then received the best Christmas gift I have received in years.

Of course, the second thank you goes to Paul for creating such a great source of information for free.

Seriously...If you have not read "Need to Know" by Paul Myers do it now, before the New Year. Then sit down and write up a new set of goals, projects, and dreams to chase. Hopefully it will spur your mind to new ways of looking at your business like it did mine.

Wishing All of You a Happy and Successful New Year,

Barry

      Greetings Barry,

      Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it.

      The e-book ''Need to know" by Paul Myers is a must read in my honest opinion. And so are the newsletters.

    I am happy to see a few people are grabbing the book. I am very confident anyone who reads it, keeps notes, and takes action is going to see an impressive change in their thinking and business over the next year.

      Barry,

      Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad it was helpful for you.
      a unique method of creating increased motivation for staying focused on my business.
      Chapter Zero. Some of the most useful stuff I've written.
      The same one many Warriors have cursed under their breath for being blunt, honest, and darn it, right.
      [chuckle] Not all under their breath, and not all for those reasons.

      Thanks for the heads up. Realigning my thoughts and goals always produce a surge of productivity for me - realizing this has made me want to do so on a regular basis so I feed off of these kind of motivational cues.

    Just as a follow up - this book is fantastic. I'm about halfway through and have three pages of notes. Very frank, which may make some comfortable, but a very compelling read for anyone looking to take their business to the next level.
