I’m on Noah St John’s newsletter email list.

Noah is one of these self-development/self-help gurus. He’s got a couple of interesting twists in his message. For example, he refers to most of the self-help industry as “shelf-help” because that’s where most of it ends up: on people’s book shelves.

(Sounds like most internet marketing information.)

Here’s another one of Noah’s messages:

One positive action beats 1,000 positive thoughts.

I like that.

I’m taking one positive action this Sunday January 3rd 2009 by hosting a mastermind group for hammering out specific goals for 2009. This little group – Stirfry Startups – has been moribund for the last few months. It’s time to inject some energy.

What’s your first positive action this new year?
