My “Top Ten” Articles for this week (Video and Links)
By Marc on Apr 21, 2008 in Video Posts
Alright, today’s video is going to be highlighting the articles I personally found the most value in for this past week (roughly). I was very busy this weekend volunteering for Kiwanis Club and also working at the office and the restaurant. Adding this blog to my plate is making me extremely busy, however it is also recharging my focus. My best semester in college was a 3.85 (graduated with 3.55) that semester I was taking 20 credit hours. Having a lot of homework to do kept me for doing unproductive things. Here is the video, the links to the articles are below.

Hi Mark - thank you for including my post in this great resource.
@ Dean - Hi there - I checked out your post and I’m right with you on exploiting your strengths. I’m all for doing things you’re not comfortable with and in the early stages of any business you’ll probably find yourself doing things you don’t like anyway, unless you have a heap of spare cash.
But once you find you’re feet I think you’d be best served pushing your boundaries in areas where you are strong, in order to reach higher levels of skill and expertise. But, really anything you do that helps you move beyond your comfort zone is good.

Cath - I have a “heap of spare cash”, I am one of the leading internet marketers… but imo, that is more of a reason to do what you want.
That said, for info, I am going to have a go at it anyway, just it prove I can.
Many thanks,
Dean

Hi Dean - Sorry - I misunderstood your question. I thought you meant people in general as opposed to yourself personally.
If you’re wanting to try something different why not? And if you have the cash to pay other folks to do the bits you don’t want to do - that’s even better. I hope it’s hugely successful.

Many thanks, and I appreciate the feedback.
