SUMMERTIME, POSITIVE INFLUENCES

6/14/2015

2 Comments

 
Summertime is here and we're taking a break from the blog.  There may be the occasional post throughout the summer, so check back once in a while if you like.  Otherwise, there will be no weekly email reminder, no weekly blog post until September.  Its important to re-charge the batteries and I hope to come back in the Fall and deliver more value.  

In the meantime I wish you a beautiful and relaxing summer!  I leave you with one of my favourites quotes/concepts.
It has been said that...

          The 3 things most likely to have a positive influence in your life are:
               - the people you meet

               - the places you go
               - the books you read



I've certainly found that to be true in my life.  I hope this summer will feature some positive influences in your life.  Here are a few recommendations for work/life issues that might be interesting...

  1. The $100 Start-Up - Chris Guillebeau
  2. The 80/20 Principle - Richard Koch
  3. The 4-Hour Work Week - Tim Ferris
  4. The E-Myth - Michael Gerber
  5. The War of Art - Stephen Pressfield
  6. Start With Why - Simon Sinek
  7. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen R. Covey
  8. Small Is The New Big - Seth Godin
  9. Worth Every Penny - Sarah Petty & Erin Verbeek
  10. Smart Cuts - Shane Snow
  11. The Art of Non-Conformity - Chris Guillebeau 

While you and I may not agree with all the content in these books 100%, like anything, you pick out the parts that relate to you and apply them to your situation.  Hopefully you find some nuggets this summer :)

Greetings!! Just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed your blog. I don't have a decent computer at home and thus had to wait until I had a workable system to reply. The one on estimating was particularly helpful.
Hope you guys are well settled in and doing great. I do love Victoria, it is a classy place. Much love from me to you...yer buddy Kev
