ClickLaunch: What Matters NOW - Things to Think About and Do in 2010

Posted by Ambal Balakrishnan December 14th 09

Thunder. Rolling Thunder. You can hear and sense it coming. Similarly, I knew that some fantastic content was coming our way when a few weeks ago, over a cup of hot tea, Rajesh Setty had mentioned to me that he was contributing to an eBook that Seth Godin and Ishita Gupta were putting together. The eBook would include ideas from several thought leaders on what they think will matter in 2010 - somewhat similar to the special sections that Times runs just before the new year.

So, here it is….What Matters Now - Things to think about (and do) this year.

Read Seth's blog post on this brand new eBook What Matters Now.

60+ top minds in the world have shared their insights nuggets of wisdom on how to make our businesses and life better. Yes – they know we live in an attention challenged world. So each nugget of wisdom is only 200 words or less.

I have picked a few of my favorites from the eBook. Enjoy these snippets and go download the entire eBook for FREE at What Matters Now - Things to think about (and do) this year.

"Generosity"

If you make a difference, people will gravitate to you. They want to engage, to interact and to get you more involved. In a digital world, the gift I give you almost always benefits me more than it costs. This year, you’ll certainly find that the more you give the more you get.

"Enrichment"

We are all on a search – a search for more meaning in our lives. Through choosing to enrich other people’s lives, you add meaning to both their life and your own.

"The One Percenters"

The One Percenters are not the usual suspects of name brand tech bloggers, mommy bloggers and or business bloggers. The One Percenters are often hidden in the crevices of niches, yet they are the roots of word of mouth. This year, your job is to find them and attract them.

"Strengths"

Forget about working on your weaknesses --> Focus on supporting your strengths. The beautiful thing about being on a team is that, believe it or not, lots of people love doing the things you hate. And hate doing the things you love. So quit diligently developing your weaknesses.

"Change"

You’re probably trying to change things at home or at work. Stop agonizing about what’s not working. Instead, ask yourself, “What’s working well, rightnow, and how can I do more of it?”

I appreciate you sharing this with all of us. There are thousands of books of the kind to be found by http://www.torrentbasket.com SE, but this one stands out from the herd somehow. In such a negative society, which can become particularly poisonous in concentrated doses like TV or the Internet, feedback is often dismissed as criticism creating an infinite loop of dismissal. What I took away from your contribution was to persist despite the vicious, nagging self-doubt manufactured by your own belief in the illusion of ignorance - namely that it is not worth trying to learn and participate in anything simply because you don't know "enough" to. I'm trying to get my own thing together helping people with all the things I have learned about SEO in such a short time and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think, "You shouldn't do this...people will humiliate you in forums and laugh at you for the advice you 'sell' to people." It is good to know you remember where you came from (the bottom of the pyramid) and that you don't condemn honest, ignorant people for wanting to learn and eventually contribute.

I really like this forum, it has some excellent discussions that take place.
