Book Recommendations
from Bret L. Simmons

From Bret's review: "In this book, Nayar tells the story of how he transformed an already successful company, HCLT, into one of the fastest growing IT service partners in the world. The personal story Nayar shares is compelling, insightful, and at times funny and brutally honest. Have your highlighter handy when you read this because it is packed full of wisdom and quotable passages."

From Bret's review: "I liked the book so much I might make it required reading for my next MBA class in organizational behavior. I neither like nor agree with everything Pfeffer has to say in the book, but he backs up his points with solid research, which I love. It has a few too many stories for my taste, but this is one of the best evidence-based books on leadership and management you can put your hands on, which is why I am recommending it."

Personal Branding: Encouragement For Those Just Starting To Blog

November 15, 2009 by Bret L. Simmons · Filed under: Personal Branding, Video

As you are just getting started with blogging, do NOT worry about all the details of setting up your site or about how Wordpress works. That will all come later! Right now, focus on what you have to say and always remember – content is king!

The only think you really need to know how to do in the begginning is how to create a blog post. Get your first one done, then focus on creating posts on a regular basis. Everything else will come in time.

Take it at your own pace but don’t stop!
