Are physical books dead? Is this the end of book publishing?
Posted by: | CommentsThis video has been brought to my attention by Alex Mandossian and as a (physical) book lover I was really interested in what the video was about.
I watched the video until the 1 min. 7 sec. mark and began to feel a wee bit worried and sad when suddenly the video was…well have a look yourself.
Looking forward to get your thoughts about the video in the comment section below. Have a great day Mirko

Burning the ships – inspired by @SarahRobinson
Posted by: | CommentsI found this amazing description of a beautiful tribe, a tribe with which I instantly resonated.
Gosh! It feels like she´s using my own thoughts and experiences in her words. Who is she? Well my friends, I really want you to meet Mrs. Sarah Robinson and read her blog post(s) you find in the link below! I have joined this tribe…! Immediately after I read the page "tribe" on her blog. Thanks goes out, once again to @jonathanfields on twitter, whom I follow in my list of "awesomepeople" and to whom I owe a great deal of inspirations in the last few weeks. He is a kick-ass writer, both on his extraordinary blog and in his book (Ain´t got no Christmas-gift-idea yet? Buy his book!) "Career Renegade" + he is one of the most authentic and enjoyable people I have met in the last few months on social media platforms. Period! -And I have met many! Now, tonight I was "listening" in to a twitter conversation between Jonathan and Sarah and got drawn to the conversation by its authenticity. Enjoy Sarah Robinson´s post and come join the tribe.

How to succeed barefoot, starving, without resources but a BIG DREAM
Posted by: | CommentsDo you know these kind of days? You start off the day with good intentions and then a sheer constant rant of bad news hammers on your head, duh! The phone kept on ringing the whole day. An no matter who was on the phone, the story was almost never uplifting but after story slowly dragged me down. I tried to shake those bad vibes off but it seemed that the ghosts from the past had gathered arround my house today and were haunting me, gosh. I eventually began to feel miserable and thoughts of failure started claiming more and more space in my head. How was I going to reach my own dreams without proper resources? With that in mind I turned on the computer, locked into my twitter account, read a few tweets of my awesome people´s list and was saved. Here is why (And thanks to the great twitter hero @CHRISSVOSS for tweeting the story!): Make it a perfect day and persistently pursue your dreams. To your personal dream success Mirko
