SEOmoz | The Beginner's Checklist for Learning SEO
For as long as I can remember, the best way for me to learn has been to do. I have gone through countless checklists while trying to understand search engine optimization. The following is a compilation of the most useful checklists I have completed in order to learn SEO. My intent is that this list can be used by people who are inexperienced in SEO but want to learn more. (As a bonus I included handy dandy check boxes.)

Breaking The Scarcity Mindset: How To Afford Anything You Want
The reason why some people are able to generate all the money they need to get what they want in their business (and their life) comes down their specific, empowering beliefs about money. It’s not because of some feel-good mysticism, like “The Secret” or the “Law of Attraction,” and it’s not a result of their particular talents (that you think “If only I had their skills, I could be as successful as they are. Oh, well …”).

Sure, talent plays a role in enhancing the amount of money people earn (and the ease of the earning), but it’s not the key factor. What makes the fundamental difference between the haves and the have-nots is the strength of four particular beliefs:

FilzFelt | Our Story
FilzFelt was founded by two felt loving designers, Kelly Smith and Traci Roloff. FilzFelt is a combination of the German word for felt (filz) and the English (felt). Since we’re Americans importing German felt, it seemed like the right fit! This female run business prides itself on simplicity in design, beautiful photography, good packaging and jaw-droppingly great customer service.

The Unspoken Truth About Managing Geeks - CIO.com - Business Technology Leadership
I can sum up every article, book and column written by notable management experts about managing IT in two sentences: "Geeks are smart and creative, but they are also egocentric, antisocial, managerially and business-challenged, victim-prone, bullheaded and credit-whoring. To overcome these intractable behavioral deficits you must do X, Y and Z."

New Marketing Labs > Justin Levy > The Power of a Note
One of the most powerful communications tools still remains the pen and paper. While technologies such as blogs, video and photo sharing sites, and phones that can capture and post all of that content, have helped to create a 24/7, always-on communications and news cycle, it has only enhanced how powerful a simple pen and piece of paper can be. Now, you’re probably starting to reach this post and think I’m insane. But, what I’m referring to is not writing memos, or publishing newspaper articles, capturing notes during a meeting or anything like that. I’m talking about the power that a simple hand-written note can wield. Notice, I did say hand-written.

SSRN-Flights of Fancy: Corporate Jets, CEO Perquisites, and Inferior Shareholder Returns by David Yermack
This paper studies perquisites of major company CEOs, focusing on personal use of company planes. For firms that have disclosed this managerial benefit, average shareholder returns under-perform market benchmarks by more than 4 percent annually, a severe gap far exceeding the costs of resources consumed. Around the date of the initial disclosure, firms' stock prices drop by an average of 1.1 percent. Regression analysis finds no significant associations between CEOs' perquisites and their compensation or percentage ownership, but variables related to personal CEO characteristics, especially long-distance golf club memberships, have significant explanatory power for personal aircraft use...

How Hard Could It Be?: Sins of Commissions
"...But anyway, back to Austin, the Harvard professor. His point is that incentive plans based on measuring performance always backfire. Not sometimes. Always. What you measure is inevitably a proxy for the outcome you want, and even though you may think that all you have to do is tweak the incentives to boost sales, you can't. It's not going to work. Because people have brains and are endlessly creative when it comes to improving their personal well-being at everyone else's expense...."
