Linchpin Contest – Win A Copy of the Hardcover Book by Seth Godin

book coverI know today has been full of iPad hype. I needed to wait til around this time to send out this post;  A post about Linchpin by Seth Godin.  I want you to have a copy. I started reading a copy of Linchpin and it is bang on what I am trying to get across here – sooner or later.  It’s saying what I did at the start of this month and worked towards last year.  Linchpin is a book that you cannot pass by and read in 5 years because everything is happening now, and you need to make the decision now.

I have not finished reading the book. This is not a review of the book.  I just want to get this book into the hands of person that maybe can’t go out and buy it, or knows someone else that can’t buy books but keeps talking wanting to live out their passions instead of making widgets faster and faster.

This is a contest in which I’ll send a hardcover copy to you. I want to pass a brand new copy so that you can read or give to someone in need of it.  If I can help one other person see the light that is sitting within Seth Godin’s book, I will feel so great.

Seth calls this a revolution.  I am seeing it as more of a renaissance.  Whatever you want to call it, you have so much to offer the world! We have everything at our fingertips now to create and live every passion we’ve ever had since age 3. Reconnect with your inner creativity.  I want you to win this book. I want to mail it to you so that you can experience what I’ve been thinking and how Seth Godin is able to communicate it so well.  I believe the information within this book is so much more valuable than an iPad. I’m not kidding.

Let me mention how to win:
