Seth Godin in his little book, The Dip, (thanks, Dan!) has a great observation about the need for focus, determination, and to not get trapped in busy work.

Yes the 5 book club of the dip. To everyone who reads this, I actually still have two extra copies of The Dip from when Godin came into town. Would be glad to give them up to the first two interested parties, I’ll even pay for the postage too :). email me at celeste at expressopr dot com
