Few people attain great lives, in large part because it is just so easy to settle for a good life.

This website is about not settling. This website is all about how to be extraordinary in CAREERS, BUSINESS, LIFE.
There are too many mediocre careers, businesses and lives. This site will provide resources to help improve these three areas of your life.
I chose to focus on Career, Business and Life development because they encompass just about everything. The Career page will have information specific to career-centered folk: high school and college grads, career changers and anyone still trying to figure out what they want to be when they grow up. The Business page is for business-centered folk: freelancers, consultants, business owners of all kinds. The Life page is everything you need to know be extraordinary in your career, business and thus, life, along with the best of the best of personal development strategy.
From tips, tricks, practical advice, and words of wisdom this site will help you live extraordinary.

The Philosophy
I believe there are three things that must be done in order to be extraordinary:
The content and resources on this website will center around these three core principles.
How This Site Came To Be
This post describes how I came up with the idea for the website. This post also lays out how I came with part of the idea for this website. Essentially I create this website to combine what I was already writing about on my previous blog, with several projects I wanted to start.
My previous blog, Econ Apps, started about applying economics to life, but I soon realized that’s not my passion. That’s what writing does, it makes you think. So my content on Econ Apps didn’t reflect the site’s branding, thus things were very confusing I’m sure for my readers. The project that I was working on, was about helping people figure out what they wanted to be when they grew up. So instead of re-branding Econ Apps and starting the other project, I decided to make one website that combines content on career, business and life. Hence this website, How To Be Extraordinary.
I Need Your Help
I read a lot of stuff, but I don’t read everything. Because I want this site to be more than a blog, I need your help for finding quality content around the web. Like I said above I want this site to be a hub for content relating to the best of the best in career, business and life. So, email me, or tweet me articles that you find and I’ll post them up. Take a look at the topics in the three categories to get a feel for the content I’m looking for. THANKS!!!
