Linchpin – 2nd Copy Goes To Mike

Wow – Seth Godin doing what he teaches…

I received a 2nd copy yep that’s right a 2nd copy of Linchpin Seth’s new book. In the book Seth talks about giving gifts. This book then will be my gift to a good friend Mike Beckenbach. Read Mikes’ blog at: http://beckenbachpr.com/Blog/.

Seth ran an experiment where he offered to send at his cost a preview copy of his new book Linchpin to the first 3000 people that would make a donation to the Acumen Fund. 100% of the donation went to the fund so in reality the preview copy was a gift from Seth to begin with. Now he sends me another copy as appreciation for acting on his preview offer and making a donation. A letter from Seth came with the book that reinforces the act of giving.

Buy two copies of “Linchpin” from Amazon.com now – keep one for yourself and give the other one away.

Seth thank you. The art that you bring to this world is an example we all can learn from.

Over the next few weeks I’ll be looking for ways to “Give more than I Get” that I can roll into my daily routine and carry forward with me for the rest of my life.

What gifts can you give?

How does your art affect the lives of those around you?

Share and inspire. Thank you.

Cracked the Cover of Linchpin

Received my advance copy of Seth Godin’s new book Linchpin yesterday and cracked the cover last night to begin my journey into “The New World of Work”.

To get the advanced copy (public copy should be out on the 26th of January) I was one of the fortunate people to get in on Seth’s experiment. He asked 3,000 people to donate at least $30 to The Acumen Fund and he would send a copy to you at his expense. That means all proceeds raised went directly to The Acumen Fund – cool.

I’m gonna save my review for later but here’s a teaser. Chapter one takes you on a journey through what was the norm for jobs, businesses and factories and lays the ground work for what is to come (hint: look out it is already here).

Hold onto your seats because it’s gonna be a bumpy ride (for the good) as you begin to transform yourself into a Linchpin.

You can order a copy from my Amazon Store (affiliate links) under books.
