Ogilvy On Advertising

I never read Confessions Of An Advertising Man by David Ogilvy. It was this lesser known sibling book that got me excited about advertising. It’s engaging, funny and features some brilliant work of Ogilvy’s. Funny thing was that I found it lying around the agency I was then working in and decided to safekeep it in my bedroom. Years later, as it laid on my desk as reference, someone pinched it without me realising it until months later. I suspect it was during an office Christmas party where I mooned everyone. Karma does happen.

Life Begins At 40

If you had read Napolean Hill’s Think & Grow Rich, you’ll remember that Hill wrote that most successful people become successful after 40. For those born before 1969: rejoice! I guess there’s some logic to that because at that age, you’ll probably done your 10,000 hours already.

If you haven’t read Think & Grow Rich, then I highly recommend you to do so. It’s basically the original The Secret.  I think it’s better than The Secret because it offers some practical exercises to attain wealth—monetary and in other forms (but mainly money wealth).

I think Think & Grow Rich should be mandatory reading for those starting a business or going into sales.  In fact, I’d pass it to my kids when they turned 18.  It’d be sort of a trust fund release when they become a major.

If this book pitch piques you, you’ll be happy to know that you could download it for free.  Go read it.
