I found this video that Robin Sharma had Tweeted the other day. It really is worth your time to watch. It’s called How To Think Like A Superhero.
Robin Sharma wrote one of my favorite books The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari and the best selling The Leader Who Had no Title.
In the video he talk about thinking like a superhero. His thesis is that super successful people, CEOs, celebrities etc. aren’t more special than you or me but that they have a far superior work ethic than the average person. He says at one point that these successful people he’s interviewed and worked with can accomplish in a day what most people do in a month.
The secret to success is that there is no secret to success, there’s no way around it, you have to work hard at it. But if you do work hard, and focus on a goal, you will accomplish it.
You should pick up some Shwarma and sit down and read some Robin Sharma.

This week’s intriguing podcast is from one of the best story telling Podcasts in the World, it’s called “This American Life“. Hosted by Ira Glass, the This American Life Podcast is one of the highest rated podcasts on iTunes and one of my personal favorites. It doesn’t focus on business or marketing in general but more so great stories and even better story tellers. Every week there are different experts interviewed which makes for a very entertaining as well as educational podcast.

The book Brandwashed is the smartest marketing book ever written because of the vast research Martin Lindstrom does on the topic. His first book [Buy-ology] was groundbreaking for what it uncovered about the sacred topic of marketing. I really think everyone should read it. Take the quiz to see if you’ve been Brandwashed. I’ve listed some highlights from the book to show you how much you’ll learn.
