The Millionaire Mind - Thomas J Stanley, Ph.D

Bootstrap - Kenneth L Hess

The Art of the Start - Guy Kawasaki

Reading the first pages of the Millionaire Mind, it sounds like a perfect description of me. I'm excited to continue. I am also very excited to begin reading the Art of the Start. I have been following Guy Kawasaki's blog for some time now, and I really like what he has to say. Hopefully, reading these books will give me some valuable insight into entrepreneurship and success.

Mini Vacation

I have Sunday and Monday off, so I have decided to spend some time at our family cottage in Monon, Indiana. It's right on the lake, nice and quiet....like stepping back in time. Hopefully I will get a chance to refocus on my life.

Life and Business

My personal life plan is really starting to come together. I have one job that provides a small, steady paycheck and the VERY important health benefits, and I have started my business of IT consulting and selling Apple computers. Now that I have all of the pieces in place (a web presence, business cards, a logo, etc.) now I have to determine how to position myself in this market. How am I going to advertise myself and let people know that I am here and offering services? Part of me wants to put up a billboard and be done with it, but I want to make sure I get the biggest bang for my (very limited) buck. Should I try and join professional organizations that focus on IT consulting? Should I join the Chamber of Commerce (yes, I think). How am I going to really ramp things up?
