I didn’t realize this was a secret, but when I posted a photo today of the paper samples I got in the mail, enough people emailed, DM’d, @ Messaged and commented to make me think maybe it wasn’t common knowledge. How do you get a library of paper samples for your home office? It’s REALLY EASY — check out my video below for the (not anymore) secret! ;)

The Whuffie Factor: Using the Power of Social Networks to Build Your Business by Tara Hunt: Think of each authentic social interaction as a transaction (an exchange of social currency,) the more meaningful transactions you make the more capital you gain and the greater your social worth. That's the basic idea behind whuffie (read my review on this book)
Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us by Seth Godin: Seth Godin's best work, IMHO! (Although the further I get through Linchpin, I may change my mind.) This book is just gets you in the mindset of viewing yourself within a larger community and enabling yourself to be a leader in that community.
Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion by Gary Vaynerchuck: I put this last because once you finish reading it, you are PUMPED and ready to get to work on building your personal brand. Gary is one of the most motivating voices ever, and not in that Kum Ba Yah granola kinda way - but in that get off your ass and get to work! kinda way! (read my review on this book)

“The Alchemy of Loss” is a simple yet gorgeous design. The worst I have seen of what you have in your portfolio is probably (or actually is) better than anything I can probably come up with…ever. I am an aspiring web designer and have toyed with design tools (programs) for some time. I am a musician at heart (though I don’t make a living at it) and appreciate art in any form.
I am aware it is rather easy to be a critic of anything we bump into, whether we love or hate a work, independently of us having or lacking abilities ourselves.
I am extremely pick…selective with anything that enters my world and as true as it is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I think we all know good or great when we see or hear it. And that, is my compliment to you.
