For the past several years, Chris Brogan has defined his goals/resolutions for each year with a series of words. I follow a lot of Chris’ writing via his blog and upon reading about his method for setting his annual goals last year, I thought I’d give it a try. I liked his method. (You can […]
I recently read Kiyosaki’s Unfair Advantage, one of the bestselling author’s newest releases. It was a fabulous read, and one that dove much deeper into Robert’s personal experience and business dealings than any of his previous books.
