6 May, 2008  1 Comment  Brian Armstrong

Hi Folks,

I’ve at times given this out as a bonus with some of my books, but I decided to make it available to everyone. Now when you subscribe to get weekly updates from StartBreakingFree.com by email, I’ll send you PDF copies of 3 of the best-selling books of all time on building wealth.

What’s great about these books is that they have stood the test of time and are now in the public domain, meaning their patent has expired and they can be given away for free.

  1. Think and Grow Rich Over 20 million copies sold and the best selling success book of all time!
  2. The Way To Wealth Benjamin Franklin’s timeless advice from more than 150 years ago which is still as true today as ever.
  3. The Richest Man In Babylon A delightful set of parables that explain the basics of money and a personal favorite of mine.

If you haven’t subscribed by email already please go here to get your free copies and feel free to forward this to any of your friends who may enjoy reading them as well.

Thank you Manuel for letting me know that the audio player not working correctly in Internet Explorer. You probably saw all sorts of songs that could be played instead of the actual interview.

I apologize for the error and it has been fixed now. Here are the links if you’d like to try again:

Inspiration To Quit For The Week

5 Mar, 2008  Add Comment  Brian Armstrong

Inspired Misfires

The reason I love this story is that it’s as stark an illustration as I can find that “seeming impossible” is practically a requirement for a truly great innovation. If something seems possible, that’s probably because someone is already doing it. When something seems that it can’t possibly work, nobody tries it. Real innovation happens when someone tries anyway, overlooking an obvious flaw, and finds a way to make an idea work.

Having A Job and Your Health - American’s Aren’t Getting Enough Sleep

Caffeine is a staple in office break rooms across the country, pepping up adults who slog through their days feeling drowsy and tired.

Perhaps we all just need a little bit more sleep?

A new study released by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) indicates that adults are not getting enough rest each night.

Of those questioned, 70 percent said they had not gotten enough rest or sleep every day of the past month.

I talk about this extensively in Breaking Free, how when I quit my job to become self employed, one of the greatest benefits was an improvement in my health (and amount of sleep I got each night).

Special Interview With Nightengale Press

Checkout this interview I did with Nightengale Press on their Calling All Authors show.

It is a great introduction to this website and my philosophy about how easy it is to start a business.

Enjoy!

Day 6: Email Signature, Blog Carnival, StumbleUpon

23 Jun, 2007  Add Comment  Brian Armstrong

Email signature in GmailIt’s day 6 of my 30 day challenge to bring more traffic to this website.

Here is what I did today:

1. Added an email signature to my outgoing emails. (see picture) I send a lot of emails each day, so hopefully this will reach some new people. As will all good marketing, I tried to include a benefit to the reader to get them to take action (in this case, click the link).

Day 4: Interviews, SEOMoz, and Technorati

20 Jun, 2007  Add Comment  Brian Armstrong

TechnoratiIt’s day 4 of my marketing challenge where I’m demonstrating how to build traffic to your business website.

1. I just finished reading John Reese’s article on working with others to grow your business, and it sparked some ideas. I sent off two interview requests to successful entrepreneurs that I know (one has already accepted). Hopefully they will be appearing on this site over the next week or so. I realized that offering an interview is a great way to get great content other than my own thoughts, and it also will help build traffic because typically the interviewee will tell others about their interview! In many cases they even link to it from their own website. Thats what I call win-win.
