I just devoured Seth Godin’s The Dip It’s not rocket science, but it’s still a powerful idea. And after a few months of upheaval and the opportunity now to sit back and make a fresh plan for 2008, it’s just what I needed to read to get me in the right mindset to plan for success. I give it my highest recommendation!

Jenni, that’s a timely post for those of us that do an annual assessment of the previous year and set the next year’s goals right about now. I didn’t read the book but I imagine he touched on the concept of benchmarks. If we don’t have a way to define or measure success, how can we adapt when things don’t go as we expected?

, which I chanced upon in Barnes aand Noble the other day. It’s a great little lunch break read, with one really big idea that has me seeing things in a new way in this new year. The essential idea is: get comfortable being a quitter. But quit strategically, when you realize you’re in a situation that isn’t worth the work to complete. And quit the distracting pursuits that take you away from the really big pursuits that are your passion and offer the best success potential.
