Iâm Teresa Morrow, Founder of Key Business Partners, LLC and I work with authors to help manage their online book promotion. As part of my job I read a lot of books (I love to read anyway!).

The books I discuss in the Social Media Book List Series will cover a range of topics such as social media, marketing, blogging, business, organization, career building, finance, networking, writing, self development and inspiration.

Here are a few inspirational and motivational tweets from ‘#SPORTStweet’I would like to share with you:
#6: Racial diversity always means something. Think about your teammates; really appreciate each other, and even your difference
#19 You want assistants who own your basic values; but dare to hire people who are strong where you are weak.
#47 Itâs possible to be the toughest guy on the field and the nicest guy off the field. If you need evidence, look at Merlin Olsen.
#59 When we lost, Coach Robinson always said that it was his fault, not ours. âI didnât do enough to get you ready.â Thatâs leadership.
About the Book:

A book on my reading list that I have had the pleasure to read is ‘The Power of Less’ .
The Power of Less by Leo Babauta
With being someone whose life does revolve around the internet, I know all to well, the influence the web has on my life and the lives around me. And that is one of the reason why this book interested me. With being so able to connect with people so easily, it is good to find the balance (or at least our own definition of balance) in our lives with living more simple the way it works for us.
About the Book:
With the arrival of the 21st century we have encountered a mental and material explosion in the Western world: we have near-unlimited information at our fingertips, we can have children who are healthy and safe, and we have wealth and possessions beyond what most of the world can dream of. Yet we are more stressed than we have ever been: the majority of us are profoundly unhappy. Though we are surrounded by what we want, our desire to keep and still get more creates a pressure that we cannot tolerate. But the flipside of our society is that we can choose what to accept, and what not to accept: what to keep, and what to lose, joyfully and consciously. With this handbook of simplicity, Leo Babauta shows us why less is powerful, the difference between what you want and what you need, and how to clear out what you don’t.
