THAT is it buddy. Removing those roadblocks is the key, I think more of us need to see ourselves as people who remove friction between what people want to do - this article was a decent exercise in just that: http://www.adaptivepath.com/ideas/d012610 I plan on modifying that a bit but incorporating parts of it into how to remove that friction. The key is in having a strategic company map, which lets people know what the company is working towards which allows them to understand how what excites them does / does not fit into the company's goals.</p> For me, line management is all about removing road-blocks to self-improvement.

I’m with you – Meatball Sundae does cover similar ground to Permission Marketing.

Good to Great is on my list too – right now I’m reading Rework – which I’m liking – even though I don’t think I agree with it 100%; some really interesting ideas nevertheless.

It seems clear to me that very website out there that wants to succeed needs to have a viable content strategy. This means, contrary to what many website owners think, a content strategy that is in addition to the website's core offering. I often hear - "there's content on my site, it tells people what we do, and where to get in touch with us. "</p><p>This isn't enough! You need to be providing something of real value for your customers, not just a commercial offering.</p><p>Come on guys get with it!</p> Great post Tom.

This isn’t enough! You need to be providing something of real value for your customers, not just a commercial offering.

Come on guys get with it!

Not wanting to discredit his work it really is quite good but I find that the point of difference or USP is found in only 1 or 2 chapters per book. Having said that I think we all know that 1 magic idea can be all it takes to separate our business or lives from the rest of the pack. For a read that is pretty amazing take a look at "out of control" by Kevin Kelly. I found it in a Chris Anderson reading list, it is a few years old now but honestly that makes a little bit more spectacular because you can see just how insightful it was.</p> Nice review, personally I find Seth to be a little too easy to summarise.

There's a bright fellow at SEER who's already thrown together a custom function for Google serps. You can get it here: http://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/google-scraper-in-google-docs-update We're going to re-write the importxml guide for 2012 and we hope to show you some more cool stuff. For any of you who are still confused of the change, Google added some extra code which disrupts the normal import. For now, use SEER's solution and in the near future, Distilled and SEER will team up :) thanks for stopping by</p> Hi guys!
