This was the first book I’ve read by Guy Kawasaki, I actually got a copy in advance because I am a part of alltop.com, one of Guy Kawasaki’s projects.

If you are unfamiliar with Guy, he is the former chief evangelist of Apple. He is the co-founder of Alltop.com and a founding partner at Garage Technology Ventures.

Enchantment was a great read! This book will teach you how to market yourself and your business in 2011! It will help you becoming an enchanting individual, enchant your customers, company and your boss! It will also teach you how to enchant the people you lead!

Guy defines Enchantment as “the process of delighting people with a product, service, organization, or idea.”

From a business or ministry perspective, Enchantment will teach you to properly use e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, blogging, or a company website to your benefit. It’s extremely practical and the principles are easy to implement.

I would highly recommend reading this book! Buy it here:

In 2011 I’m going to be starting two new blogs. One on encouraging people in their Christian walks and the other one on fitness.They will not be personal blogs, although I will be writing for them. They are going to be community blogs. I want them to have multiple authors encouraging people in their walks with God and in their physical health.

So I’m looking for bloggers. Bloggers who are passionate about their walks with God and/or who are passionate about their physical fitness.
