A Lesson In Humility

Art, Marketing, Acheivement, & Fiction: 2010, Summarized

I’ve always loved reading, studying, and learning new things.  Being in Infusionsoft’s learning-rich environment has feuled the desire to read & learn more.  Below is a list of the books I read in 2010.

I started off the year strong and then slowed my reading down to only a few books in Q4.  In the end, 2010 was about getting more attuned to what it will take to get Infusionsoft to the next level, personal growth for me in various ...
