Seth Godin asked a group of thought-provoking people to provide a word (and a 200 word essay) on what they’re thinking about as the new year rolls in. He’s turned that into a pdf called What Matters Now. Read more about the project at Seth’s blog.

I have embedded a version of the document hosted at Scribd.com.  Those viewing via subscription may need to click through to original post here.  I like page 32 “Evangelism”, page 50 “Change” and page 59 “Fascination”.  A good read that I found from the book is Tony Hseih “Poker” (Full article: Everything I learned about Business I learnt from Poker)

The PDF is free. You can view it in the embedded Scribd player above or you can download it here. Inside you will find articles by such writers as:

• Chris Anderson
• Martha Beck
• Seth Godin
• Chip and Dan Heath
• Tony Hsieh
• Ariana Huffington
• Anne Jackson
• Mitch Joel
• Guy Kawasaki
• Tim O’Reilly
• Daniel Pink
• Tom Peters
• Dave Ramsey
• Tim Sanders
• Gina Trapani
• Gary Vaynerchuk

… and many others. Big thoughts and small actions make a difference. What is your big thought and corresponding small action(s) for 2010?  Feel free to write your word and 200 word essay in the comments…
