5 More People Share What They Learned in 2006

Submissions to the Group Writing Project keep coming. We’re asking people to tell us what they learned in 2006. In return, I’m donating $5 to charity per post and giving away some great prizes.

The writing project is ending December 24th…so there’s some time to get your post in. My goal was $300 … we’re very close!

The prizes include:

• Phil Gerbyshak’s book 10 Ways to Make It Great! (two signed copies!)
• The Monk and the Riddle: The Art of Creating a Life While Making a Living by Randy Komisar (recommended by Austin Hill)
• What No One Ever Tells You About Blogging and Podcasting by Ted Demopoulos
• Marketing Outrageously by Jon Spoelstra (recommended by Jim Kukral)
• Ron McDaniel of Buzzoodle has donated his book, Buzzoodle Buzz Marketing: 57 Word of Mouth Marketing Challenges for the Entire Workforce.

Prizes will be given away randomly next week once all the submissions are in.

In the meantime here are 5 more submissions to the writing project:

• Terry presents 1 Big and 12 Little Things I Learned From Blogging This Year. Terry’s big lesson is that he’s accelerated his own learning through blogging, which many people may overlook as a benefit.
• Emmanuel Oluwatosin has learned a number of valuable lessons as an entrepreneur including how much courage is needed to finish a project and how to handle failure.
• Shawn Hessinger is back with more lessons learned. Take a look at Bootstrapping is where it’s at, Perfect is the enemy of good enough and Roll with the punches.
• David Lambert has a couple of hard lessons learned this year. David watched the company he worked for close its doors. He learned what that’s like, and what it’s like to be searching for a job. He found one!
• Cody McKibben presents 5 Things 2006 Has Taught Me. I love Cody’s first lesson learned — “I need a muse.”

Thank you to everyone who has participated and promoted this effort. It’s been a blast!
