My birthday means a happy day for you. In the past, I’ve blogged about the various people that have been a blessing in my life.<\/p>\n

This year, I’m doing something a little different. Instead of listing my 37 people who brought me joy over the past 12-months, I thought I’d show my gratitude by giving away a few books from my personal library.<\/p>\n

Why am I giving these away? I may have a duplicate on my shelf OR I may have it in an ebook version (which I’m moving towards since I can carry more books on me) OR I have committed the concepts to memory and no longer need the physical copy around.<\/p>\n

Before I tell you how you can get a copy, let me first show you what I’m giving away.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How to Be Considered<\/strong>: To get one of these books, tell me what success refresh means to you<\/strong> and how you plan to apply this to your business, your life or your relationships in 2011.<\/p>\n

Post your response in the comment area below. You must enter your comments by January 19 30, 2011<\/strong> in order to be considered for one of 12 19 books. I’ll choose the 12 19 based on the quality of your comment and how many others like your comment. Those who are selected will choose one book on a first come, first served basis<\/strong>.

Most likely $5 for North American addresses (Canada & US) and $10 for International.<\/p>\n
