High Velocity

I was inspired by this post by Julien Smith Jan. 1st. I love it. And I am doing it. I am going to read one book a week in 2010.

I’ve been wanting to read more books. And the pile of unread material is stacking up nicely in both my office and next to the bedside table. It’s time to focus. Julien’s post was all I needed to get a goal in mind and get motivated. And of course, business authors are pretty darn important to us here in the High Velocity organization with our Video Dust Jacket Tour…

So, I will post once a week to let you know how I am doing, and to catalog all the books I am reading. Wish me well! If you want your book added to this reading list, EMAIL ME HERE!

Ultimately, all 52 books will be listed below. Here is the initial list:
