Russell Simmons says Do You!

December 17th, 2008

A great book published this year was written by Russell Simmons, the hip-hop mogul. In his book Do You!, he details his story of success the music and fashion worlds. You might find this book interesting because he explains his strategies for success not in the boring, stuffy business sense, but in the cool and vibrant hip-hop world.

Russell Simmons Do You!The reason for the recommendation of this book for you is not just because it can help you succeed in life, but because of Russell’s higher message. Russell is a vegan and practices yoga every day. So that means not only is he making money in a big way, but he is also improving the world at the same time.

But who cares? Think about it. He went from zero to $340 million, and then wrote a book about how he did it! Is he smarter than you or I? Did he have more resources when he started? Was he well-connected, before he became famous? The answer to all of these questions is no. The only difference is desire, commitment and strategy.

Another reason that this book is wonderful is that his style is just plain fun. Nobody likes to read a book, and then be bored and wish that they had not started reading it. Through funny stories and first-hand experience Russell both entertained and educated me.

Question for the day: if there was one piece of information, one strategy or one idea that you were looking for to improve life, what would it be?
