Quitter Review

Title: Quitter: Closing the Gap between your Day Job & Your Dream Job

Author: Jon Acuff

Target Audience: People of all ages who are dissatisfied with their current day job and want to gain a little direction as they move to pursue their dream job.

How I found It: Jon Acuff is an author and speaker on Dave Ramsey's team. I heard about Quitter as I was listening to Ramsey's podcast.

Content - The Facts: Quitter might not be quite what you first think of when you imagine a book about pursuing your dream job. Acuff invites you into his own life, showing his own journey from day job to dream job, and providing humorous, anecdotal experiences. Instead of encouraging you to blindly leap after your dream job, Acuff begins providing a framework for you to work within, for everything from "falling in like" with your day job to avoiding "the dons" to defining success and more.

Nerd Fitness and the Angry Bird Workout

It's been a while since I'd posted an update blog.

The semester is finished, and summer has started. I managed to pass all of my classes, although Greek II almost got me. I'll have to be reviewing that material this summer, otherwise Greek III will destroy me. :(

My part-time job at the school registrar's office has ended, and I wasn't able to land another position yet, so a lot of my time this summer is free. I'm valeting part-time again to help counter that monetary lapse in my income, and I'm still working part-time at church, so I should be doing okay financially.

Recently I've been reading a bunch of blogs (what else is new), and the standout of the bunch is called Nerd Fitness. If you know me at all, I'm a pretty nerdy kinda guy. I mean, I balance it out fairly well with my enjoyment of sports and guitar, but I'm a nerd. Video games fascinate me, and I thoroughly enjoy the books I read (when I read). I'm even writing short reviews on the different books I read (or listen to as the case may be).

EntreLeadership Review

Title: EntreLeadership

Author: Dave Ramsey

Target Audience: Small Business leaders, particularly those with scalable businesses. But really, this book is good for anyone who is going to be in any leadership role.

How I Found It: I listen to Dave's podcast and radio show fairly frequently, and every once in a while he talks about this book.
