When The Going Gets Tough

It's time to pick up a good (audio)book and get a dose of motivation. Sometimes if you have big goals there are moments when you really wonder if you will ever reach them, no matter how positive you are. My silver bullet at these times is my audible.com account.

Although I may not have time in my day to sit back and read a book, anytime I'm in my car I turn it into a seminar for motivation, sales tactics, marketing and business ideas.

Some great books I have heard recently (links open into Audible info pages):

How to Become a Rainmaker (Unabridged) Jeffrey J. Fox
Freakonomics (Unabridged) Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
It's Not About the Bike Lance Armstrong and Sally Jenkins
The Tipping Point Malcolm Gladwell
Small Is the New Big Seth Godin
Made to Stick Chip and Dan Heath
Take Command Kelly Perdew

I LOVE Audible.com!  They are also working with RFBD.org (Reading for the Blind & Dyslexic) making some of their books available through the rfbd.com site for download for free to those that need it at the end of the summer.

Love the idea & it's a good practice. I like to listen to my favorite motivational speaker on my iPod while keeping busy or driving.

We do a lot of running for (right now) very little results.  It can make even the strongest crumble sometimes.

Susan - What a wonderful way for Audible.com to give back. Thanks for telling me about that I will research into perhaps I could donate something?


Peter - I feel so much more pumped after listening to something motivational than radio babble. It makes such a difference to my day.


Donna Marie - Don't worry it WILL all pay off. It is when you feel like you can't take anymore that the universe will be most generous with you! HOLD ON!
