Biz Book Club “Juggle! Rethink work. Reclaim your life”
The benefit of having a large book collection (over 600 titles and counting) is that you always have a choice. Like a few days ago, when I finished reading the new Richard Branson book, I felt like picking up a book that would give my mind a break, be short and sweet and motivate me to getting started on all my business ideas. read more
Biz Book Club “reDesign, reCreate”
I started to read this late summer, put it aside for a few weeks, and came back to it on a long drive to Charleston, SC. Of course, I didn’t sit behind the wheel. My husband drove, and I swear, though the drive must have seemed long and uneventful to him, it went by like a breeze to me. This book sucks you in. read more

Biz book club “We are all weird”
Growing up, I never really felt like I belonged. Standing on the sidelines, never part of the popular crowd, I quickly learned that it is not my cup of tea to follow the masses, to conform.

Biz Book Club “Anything you want”
40 lessons for a new kind of entrepreneur compiled in a short, 81-page book. That’s the premise of “Anything you want” by Derek Sivers, founder of CD Baby. It’s the kind of book that will take an hour to read, but much longer to digest. It makes an impact, and sticks with you for a long time. I read it last week, and am still living through it. read more
Biz Book Club “Linchpin”
Ok, if you have not heard of Seth Godin, you a) just woke up from a long nap, b) have not been to my blog before, as I write about him all the time, c) all of the above. Seth Godin has written a number of books on the subject of marketing, brand building, sales strategies, the cultural and societal influence on supply and demand and the state of economy, and most recently, he published “Linchpin”, where he discussed the significant role the creatives class has on our future. read more
