I love to read. At any given time I have three books I’m reading. I thought I’d write today about my wish list. The books I want. Network Your Way to Millions by Russ Paley Russ is a leader and maniac in our company. He reminds me of the Gary Vaynerchuk of Melaleuca. He just…

I wrote yesterday about the dilemma of giving it away for free. Social media is an interesting medium. It’s very easy to get drawn into, spend all your time tweeting or on facebook or linked in. Next thing you know the day is about done. I admire people like Chris Brogan who appear to be…
