This week has been really eventful. Isn’t there some Chinese curse that says “May you live in interesting times?” Well, my time has been like that.

I released my ebook to the wild, had some bartering agreement that went sour and all the emotional turmoil that accompanies feeling it was all my fault and fear that someone now hates me churning in my chest (she probably doesn’t… I have to keep reminding myself that people really don’t think about me as much as I think they do).

Stay tuned for my rant on bartering.

On a brighter note, there was so much linky goodness this week!! I had 9 links in the initial draft for this post, but I had to narrow it down to 5… next week I’ll use the ones I excluded.

The goods:

Breaking out of the scarcity mindset: How to afford anything you want: I heart Dave Navarro. No, not that one. The Rock Your Day one. I could have written a lot more on my bartering post set to go live soon, included this scarcity/poverty mindset piece, but he puts it so nicely I figured I’d prime you, my blog readers, with this.

Oh Squeezy sales pages, how I hate thee! Let me count the ways… This was the original inspiration behind my Flying in the face of convention post. Kelly so eloquently expresses her distaste for “conventional” sales pages—you know the ones where you scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and still need to click a button to find out how much something costs? Yeah. I don’t like them either. She instead recommends being honest, clear, concise, and to quit the BS.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road: How to lead your tribe when you’re a wanderer: I am a wanderer. If you haven’t figured that out already. And I’ve been struggling with all these different parts of me that don’t seem to fit one title/mold/box (not that I want to be shoved into any of those). I’m afraid of being seen as flighty, non-committal, and flaky. But I’m not. So I’m going to take her advice. Stay tuned for some group classes .

Better than an Expert: 7 Things I’d Rather Be: I’d rather be any of the things Ken mentions (friend, explorer, advocate…) than an expert. Experts are regarded highly for their expertise, but it sounds boring to me. All my life focused on knowing everything about one thing? I’d rather be a question mark.

How do I figure out my passion and purpose? If you ask me, passion’s highly overrated. However, it’s a word that means purpose and love and all that wrapped into a big huge thing that everyone uses, so I’ll excuse Cath for using that word. But she does have a great set of exercises that’ll help you figure out what you’re put on this earth to do.

Have you come across any good links this week? Let me know in the comments!
