A Change This Idea Percolates
 Change
This is a clever project,
originated by Seth Godin and currently owned and operated by 800-CEO-READ
(see the Small Biz Read Blog
on the Duct Tape Channel). Anyone can post a proposal for a manifesto on the
Change This site and then readers vote on whether or not they would like to
see that proposal turned into a Change This Manifesto. A Change This
Manifesto is basically a well developed thought on one particular subject
and comes in the form of a smartly designed PDF file. You really should go
grab a few of these.
Duct Tape Blog Channel blogger,
Don the Idea Guy
currently has a proposal that I think deserves your attention and votes.

My Blog Reading List
One of the best ways to get a
small business education is to read.
 By John Jantsch
I read a lot. I believe it makes me a better business person, better writer,
better blogger, better speaker and much more prepared to think and act
strategically. (That's my assessment, it doesn't mean you necessarily need
to agree with the results!)
I like to read, so I guess in a
way that makes it easier, but I do think that reading business related
content should be a part of every business owners daily habits. I include in
my reading list - blogs, books and printed magazines and newspapers.
Today I would like to share my
list of daily blog reads. Check some or all of them out and get into the
habit of reading business blogs by getting a feed reader like
NewsGator that integrates
with Outlook, Using Firefox Live
Bookmarks or setting up a free reading account at
Bloglines. With one of these
solutions in place you simply visit one spot and find all of the newest
content from the blogs you subscribe to.

Small is the New Big - Seth Godin
 I
spent a few minutes chatting with Seth Godin, arguably one of the more
articulate identifiers of emerging marketing reality (wow, that's a
mouthful) and author of the newly released -
Small Is the New Big: and 193 Other Riffs, Rants, and Remarkable Business
Ideas. Seth irritates as he inspires masses of blog readers at
Seth's Blog
and accurately identifies what's going on in the world and mind of the
consumer these days.

it gets. |
