In my previous blog "Keeping Up Is Intimidating Sometimes" I talked about how intimidating it is to keep up with business. Since then I have been doing a TON of research and surfing to educate myself further and I have found some great tools to use. I thought it might be helpful to some of you if I listed some of them.As with all of the information that you read or watch you need to filter it. Don't just take it all at face value. The "experts" that you are reading or watching may have different values than you do or may just believe something as truth that may not be. Glean what works for you. Open your mind and let some of these ideas spark something in you!

The topics are extremely varied and very insightful. It's a british websight and so many of the experts are british. That makes it all the more intreresting for me, but remember the point - glean and learn, pick and choose what works for you.

This is an awesome tool! Type in something that you want to keep up on, from people to subjects, to companies, and anytime any new information becomes available Google Alerts will email it to you. Talk about easy!
