Can you ever have enough friends?  I can’t speak for you but I constantly need the relational dynamic and people speaking positively into my life.  Life is just too difficult to face alone apart from community.

With that in mind, October was an incredible month!  Readership has grown exponentially each month and last month was no exception as views to this site increased 78%.

The best part of October though was not the increased numbers but some incredible friendships I got to make.  Whether speaking at church events, interacting on Facebook or Twitter, phone calls, or exchanges on this site, it has been absolutely a joy connecting with you and hearing your stories.

The following were my Top 10 Most Popular Posts of October as determined by you the readers.

  1. 16 Leadership Principles and Quotes From Secretariat
  2. 10 Leadership Quotes From Auburn QB Cam Newton
  3. 10 Tips On Going From Being A Rookie Leader To An Experienced One
  4. 6 Quotes About An Undefeated Leader, Alabama QB Greg McElroy
  5. 16 Leadership Quotes About The Rescue of 33 Chilean Miners
  6. 7 Leadership Quotes on LSU’s Les Miles With 16 Time Management Facts

I also want to include three personal favorites from this past month that did not make the Top 10.  I hope they add value to you the second time around.

  1. Depression – Be On Guard
  2. 15 Quotes and Action Steps You Can Take To Grow As A Leader
  3. The Leader I Long To Be

These two sites picked up my posts and greatly increased readership.

  1. The War Eagle Reader – This is a great site for anyone interested in Auburn University.  Incredibly well-written and gives great insights into the collegiate experience and all things Auburn.
  2. 5minute5 – I recently discovered this site and became a huge fan instantly.  Each day they provide you 5 minutes of information on a number of topics.

Good subject matter and generating content is always a challenge.  Therefore, if you have any leadership topics you would like for me to explore, please let me know, 

I know I say this each month but it is always humbling that you would take the time to read these posts.  Thank you and I pray they continue to add value to your lives.
