Books I'd Recommend:
1. Tools of Titans by Tim Ferris (reading this right now)
2. Genghis Khan and the Makings of the Modern World
3. How to Get Rich by Felix Dennis (bad title but, great content)
4. Better and Faster by Jeremy Gutsche (one of my favorites)
5. The Richest Man in Babylon
6. Think and Grow Rich
7. The Millionaire Fastlane (again, corny title but, great content)
8. You Only Have to Be Right Once (a very short and informative read)
9. Delivering Happiness (one of my favorites)
10. Getting There (collage of several entrepreneurs and leaders in various fields, similar to Tools of Titans).

I've been thinking about starting a career blog for a while now and I decided I might as well give it a shot. I'll post my progress in this thread and hopefully will get some good feedback, it should be fun.

It's officially 2017 here on the East coast. The biggest thing to remember is that time is your most important asset. Make sure you utilize it to the best of your abilities. Never pass up a chance to learn more or do more for your business. I plan on listening to a podcast episode tonight before bed. This grind gotta become a lifestyle. We're gonna make it though. I believe it

Good stuff breh. Definitely keep us posted on that.
One thing to remember is that momentum is a huge part in finding success
You could ask steve jobs (rip), mark zuckerberg or larry page if they would've imagined in their wildest dreams that they built the businesses they did
They'd all say the same thing: no way.
But what they did do was focus on milestones along the way.
Next thing they knew they were behind billion dollar companies
Its all about momentum or the 'snowball effect'. Start small and keep building on it.

I def will. A few years back I came across this thread of some dude buying a FedEx route for the first time then growing it into like 300k/yr business and it was interesting seeing everything from start to finish. That way if it's a success people can see the steps I took to make it pop off.
People have been eating lovely off YouTube and I need my slice of the pie
I got my camera and lights and shyt so now I just need to start busting out content. I'm thinking of naming the blog cert gang
