I don’t do these kinds of posts as often as I probably should, because there is a lot of killer posts out there that people cannot afford to miss reading. Here are a few notable posts (in no particular order) that I’ve recently read that have struck a chord with me and may do the same to you too. Enjoy!

Thanks a lot for the link Pat. Corbett did a great job and that first post you’ve linked to as well
I’m reading Make it Stick right now (same authors) but I’ll definitely check out Switch next. Thanks for the rec.
I love these posts! They turn you on to different blogs all over the web that you wouldn’t know about before, every time one of these come out my reading list grows
it is getting out of control big now!
Thank you very much Pat. These are indeed a great compilation of quality post. Cheers and blessed life…
Thanks for compiling the awesome list. I’ve read a few – ViperChill, Problogger, DailyBlogTips, Yaro.. and I personally think those few articles are one of their best articles. I will check out the rest, it’s worth writing it down.. thanks for sharing the rest of the lists.
By the way Pat. spelling mistake.. “Find a HOLE and fill it”
Thanks Pat great list. I’m going to check out the Wordpress SEO one right now. One that you didn’t list that I really liked was this http://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/blog/the-psychology-of-making-huge-career-jumps/ from Ramit Sethi.
Thanks for posting these Pat. I will start at #1 and work my way : ) The motivation I receive from your blog posts are phenomenal, so thank you for that as well. Take Care!
-Lanny B.
Awesome list, Pat!
I’d love to see a post with all the books you’ve read and recommend, as well….I’ll definitely have to check out “Switch”….
I hit up Barnes and Noble yesterday…..and read Gary Vaynerchuk’s “Crush it” all in one sitting (I know, that’s kinda lame reading the merchandise AT the store…lol….I just got so absorbed in it…..)….Picked up a copy of the 4 hour work week, though…..Julie allowed me 2 books to take on our honeymoon in Jamaica (the sad thing is, I can’t touch them until the honeymoon….lol…..)
Hi Pat,
I’m happy to say that you’ve given me some gems to check out today. Some of the links I’ve read (as well as the Switch book) but some I haven’t, so thank you.
Oh, and even though I’m not included on your list, you are on my Friday’s Links for your post on It’s Dumb Not To Dumb It Down. Your readers shouldn’t forget to read that one!
Karen
Just a random “head-up” I had noticed, Pat,
The first letter, in your most recent earning’s update isn’t actually part of the ‘link’….
http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/my-income-reports/
just thought I’d let you know
Cool thanks for the list!
That post by Seth yesterday was awesome. Ryan Holiday had another like it recently as well: http://www.ryanholiday.net/archives/dread.phtml
Awesome list, Pat! I have six of these open right now and ready to dig in.
This is fantastic.
About your previous post, this addresses the noise you spoke of.
50% of the time spent in my reader is wasted on sorting through absolute crap.
This cuts through it.
I’d love to see more meaningful lists to meaningful articles. I emphasise quality because miscurated lists just make for a louder, more structured, noise.
What a cool list. I read at least half of them already. I do find it interesting that your summary of number 7 is almost as long as the post itself!
Enjoy your Friday.
Pat,
I get this subtle conviction that your “2nd Favorite Quote” is somewhat directed at me….lol…. (of course, I know it’s moreso for inspiration to all your readers)
Gotta get a move on with my product!
lol
Hey Pat! Thanks so much for including me in this roundup. It’s nice to get some first-week exposure for a brand new blog! I’ll definitely be checking out some of the other posts here.
These are great resources. I really like the word press seo – some really great stuff there and able to implement right away! Have a great weekend.
Extremely informative and helpful resources! Thanks Pat!
Geez, everytime I see blogs this good I just want mine to be there already!
Great work.
Just bought Switch. I saw it at Barnes, started reading it, but had to go home. Then I thought about it when I was at the airport, but their bookstore didn’t have it. So I just ordered it using your link. Thanks for the reminder. People that are successful in the way I want to be all have read the same books eerily in a similar order…RDPD, 4HWW, etc. so getting your recommended reading list is very helpful.
Great list, thanks Pat! Keep up the good work.
Great list, and I like your tip on thinktraffic.com… and agreed on Seth Godin!
There were some great links on this list. I took away some good tips from here. Thanks!
