Great New Things

I'm thrilled at the response to my last blog entry about "The Go-Giver." Since then, many in our circles have purchased and read the book. Thumbs up every time. People go out of their way to thank me for it. Funny. All I did was read and like it. And, by now, all have seen that one of the authors (Bob Burg) and one of their friends (Fiona Ashe) left short, encouraging comments here! So cool, eh? It's like they do and live what they say in the book! Imagine this. If this catches on, this world may start really changing!

Here are some other great new (to me), potential world-changing things to be excited about:

1) Kiva - At the 2009 Willow Creek Leadership Summit, they interviewed a young woman who is one of the founders of this ministry. It is enables regular people to participate in international microfinancing! Simple and amazing.Check it out at www.kiva.org.

2) Stickk - In reading another great book, "Who's Got Your Back" by Keith Ferrazzi (author and book pictured below), I learned about a web site that is designed to help people keep their goals. The site, www.stickk.com, does two things: 1) It provides a means of costly feedback that works, and 2) it teaches us, by its design, the essence of goal-keeping, which is that we don't do it alone.

We don't do it alone. This is the truth.

May you be unalone today.
