I don't subscribe to as many blogs as I used to, mainly to control information overload and manage my time more effectively.
I have a "short-list" of blogs that I read to keep me informed on blogging, internet marketing, and social marketing.

This list is in no particular order and I readily admit that there are many great blogs that are not included here.

It’s about this guy named Brad who went from $0 to $1,000 online in 30 days selling magic tricks to the dating niche.
Two months ago all he knew how to do online was to surf the net and send emails.

"Every adversity, every failure, and every heartache carries with it the Seed of an equivalent or a greater Benefit."
- from "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill
I love that lesson from Napoleon Hill because it shows us how our beliefs, which include our thoughts, values, and attitudes, directly affect our feelings and actions.
The theory that our beliefs influence our feelings and actions is not new.
