Phil Jackson mentions this verse in his new book Eleven Rings as the quote that got him started on his journey of self-discovery.

We linked to this yesterday and had a few readers share with us that they had never heard of Burning Man. It’s an experience I would like to try once in my life. To think that ideas surfaced at this event pushed companies like Apple and Google is incredibly interesting.

We connected earlier today with a group called Keteka.

Keteka’s mission is to provide thorough and accurate information about the countries and communities in which Peace Corps Volunteers serve, and to make this information accessible to travelers with a desire to interact with natives, engage the local culture and venture off of the beaten path.

As a lot of our readers are people who practice yoga, I think this article on their visit to Rishikesh is very interesting.

Take a look at their site and click around. If you are interested in traveling and working in the peace core, you may learn something from their experiences.

If you want to start a website, Pat Flynn has almost everything you need to get started on his website Smart Passive Income. 

If you have an idea and want to put it out there for the world to see its not that hard these days.

Pat had this to say about the power of the internet:

Imagine that you own a store in your local mall that sells, i don’t know, vitamins. You go to work at 8:30am, check the inventory, lay out new merchandise, and open your doors at 9:00am. The mall closes at 7:00pm, and you stay later to clean and do some paperwork. How many people walked into the store during those 10 hours? How many of those people actually drove to the mall just to buy your vitamins? Probably not too many. The doors were open for 10 hours, but you actually stayed and worked for 14. Probably not your idea of starting your own business.

Now – imagine you have a product. Let’s say, a how-to book you wrote called “The Best and Healthiest Vitamins to Lead a Better Life.” Better yet, it’s an e-book (electronic book) that you wrote on your computer.  You start a website and start to sell your book on it.

How long are your “online store doors” open? 24 hours a day, 365 days a week.

How many people are on the internet and can easily visit your site? Anyone who has a computer. Billions.

How much money did it take to open your store? Just enough to start the website.

Who visits your store? People who want to know about vitamins.

How much paperwork do you have to do? Almost none whatsoever.

How much profit do you make on each book sale? 100%.

Lastly, how much time do you need to be “attending to your store?” Again, almost none.

That was from Pat’s first post back in October of 2008. He had just been laid off. Today, his presence online (with no prior expertise of web design) is massive. I think its important to note that when Pat talks to his consumers, he does it with a humble grace. You can tell that he is enthusiastic about helping others and understanding how to reach people. He enjoys what he does which makes it all the more fun to learn from him. 

If you want to have fresh eggs but have never raised chickens, www.RentTheChicken.com, might be a great place to start.

This is what their website says about their service:

Rent The Chicken is based out of Pennsylvania and they operate during the warmer months, May until November. You can still try it this season.
