Huge props to Mike Brenner for doing a great job this morning spearheading a phenomenal startup event (Startup Breakfast) through his community building organization called Startup Baltimore. As an entrepreneur in the area, it was great taking time out of my day to meet with others in a similar situation as me with interest in our growing tech community, in such a collaborative and welcoming environment.

One of the best and hardest things about being an entrepreneur is that you have no one telling you what you need to be doing. This requires an incredible amount of internal motivation. Everything you do is because you decide it needs to get done, and it gets finished when you decide it needs to get done. This means everything an entrepreneur spends their time doing has to become a math problem, whether they want to admit it or not.

I read both of these books last weekend, which is why I am reviewing them together. They are very different books with different messages, but a common theme of the importance to use new social media platforms to build brand identity (either personal or corporate) and connect/engage/build relationships with people. In short, they are very interesting, quick, and informative reads and I recommend them both to anyone interested in building a brand, and/or entrepreneurship, on any level within any industry.
