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

"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?”
