Busy with ebook; Quick announcements

Hope you all had a great weekend. Thank you for the overwhelming support for my latest eBook “When you can’t earn an MBA: Thoughts on getting ahead without an MBA

In the last ten days, about 4000 copies have been downloaded. For those of you who have sent me an email regarding the book, I have replied to all emails received until March 14. I will get to the remaining ones later this week.

I am busy working on my soon to be released eBook “Personal Branding for Technology Professionals” so blogging has been slow. The eBook should be released in the next ten days or so.

Here are some quick announcements:

1. Open Source Blog

Most of you know that I am now serving as the chairman of the company CIGNEX. We are in the open source business. I am joining with two of my colleagues there – Navin Nagiah (president and CEO) and Munwar Shariff (CTO and VP of Business Development) and starting to blog on open source related issues. If you are interested in open source, please take a look when you have a moment.

2. Welcome to Naveen Lakkur to the blogosphere

My long time friend Naveen Lakkur has finally started blogging on Leadership. We have been talking about it for more than a year. What can I say – he gets so busy with so many things. I am sure many of you will like what Naveen has to say on Leadership. Here is a link to a recent blog post on the topic of “Belief and Trust”

4. New manifesto on Networking: The Care and Feeding of Your Network

Two more of my friends Bob Allard and Richard Banfield have teamed up to create a short and sweet manifesto on Networking. It was recently published on ChangeThis and it is well worth your time to read it. Here is the link:

OK, now I have to get back to working on my eBook. Have a great week ahead all of you.
