I have just finished reading Git off the Porch! and embrace your destiny by Willie Crawford. I finished it in just a few hours, the book was very easy to read, and it was a great and inspiring story.

The book is first and foremost a book about the life of Willie Crawford, and that’s also the reason I bought it. Willie Crawford is a famous Internet marketer. He is earning a six figure income, and he has been doing that for years. The most interesting part about his success is that he and his family was very poor, once he even had to wear his grandmother’s shoes to school. He didn’t get trapped by the poverty mentality though, and the book is the story about how he ended up to be really successful.

There are especially two parts of the book that I really thought was excellent, and both parts provided me with something to think about. Willie Crawford writes in details about them.

Know when it’s good enough

I have a friend, he is a painter, he never makes any sales, even though he is the best painter I have ever witnessed. His paintings are stunning. The reasons he never makes any sales, is because he never finishes his paintings. He wants them to be perfect, therefore, he keep working on them for months and years.

Know when your work is good enough for your audience. It will never be perfect, if you are waiting for it to be perfect, you’ll end up like my friend the painter.

Leverage: a successful essential

It comes a time when you realize that you don’t have the time or energy to do all that you want or need to do. You come to realize that you have to outsource some of your work. I am doing it, and “all” successful people are doing it. They are leveraging their time by hiring others to do the things they aren’t suited to do themselves. For instance, I never do any graphical stuff, it would take a lot of my time and the results would be poor, no matter how much time I used. I am using Elance.com to find graphic artists and writers.

You should read this book

Git off the porch! is not only an inspirational book, but it’s also a book with many great tips for Internet marketers. It’s fairly cheap, easy to read, and I am sure that it will help you expand your life.
