Hone in on your craft. You must learn your craft first.
It is a lot easier now to follow and connect with people you admire.
There is such thing as being good at what you do. Study good people.
Daddy-O emailed Guy Kawasaki many years ago and heard back from him right away.
Slideshare is an amazing resource of information.
Twitter is a phenomenal tool to find and follow great people.
Use a feed reader to subscribe to your favorite blogs.
Daddy-O enjoys books by Malcolm Gladwell. They give you more of a broad scope as to where things are.
He also recommends Trust Agents by Chris Brogan and Julien Smith, and anything by Seth Godin (our interview here).
Establish a daily routine. Like university. Dedicate time to study. Block out time to work. Use categories.
Research the soundbites. Don’t negate the best selling books.
Connect with Daddy-O on Twitter @professordaddyo or on Google+ as Glenn Bolton.
