    • The Cornerstones of Leadership (And How They Reveal the Recipe for a Brilliant Life), Part 1

      The Cornerstones of Leadership (And How They Reveal the Recipe for a Brilliant Life), Part 1

      By Dave Ursillo on Sep 27, 2011

      “Maybe the leadership that lasts the longest is the leadership that is so humble, so good, and yet so unspoken that it can only take root in others by quietly sprouting within their hearts—dawning in them from a place of intrinsic goodness and unyielding strength; from the originating place of human love and kindness.” — Lead Without Followers

      My new book Lead Without Followers is a lot less about being a “leader” in any sense we’re familiar with when we discuss leadership today, and is a lot more about becoming more human.

      And maybe simply becoming more human is the …

      7 Ways to Get Involved With Lead Without Followers (7 Days ’til Launch)

      Can you believe it?

      Lead Without Followers will officially be released to the world in just 1 week!

      I’m psyched… and nauseous… and in need of a vacation.

      I’ll be busy all week with interviews and other promotional business leading into the launch, but since I’m getting so many requests from you all, here are the top ways that you can get involved and help out in the last 7 days until book launch!

      13 Things You’ll Learn from Lead Without Followers (13 Days ’til Launch + Cover Sneak Preview)

      We’re under two weeks until Lead Without Followers is released!

      Talk about how crazy (in a good way) self-publishing is nowadays — you can write your book as quickly as you wish (for me, it was about 84 days), have it totally edited a few days later and then, as mine is right now, currently being worked on by my layout designer before it goes to print.

      The usual publication process can take two or three years.

      The Lead Without Followers experience will be about a 3-month ordeal. Craziness, I tell ya!!

      Right now, I’m finishing an Advance Materials packet…

      How to Write a 60,000-Word Book in 84 Days (Or, the Big News that My Book is Finished!)

      By Dave Ursillo on Sep 8, 2011

      Early this past June, I decided to write the book that I had been dreaming to write for two and a half years.

      84 days and 60,000 words later, Lead Without Followers is finished!

      I’m psyched. Drained. Amped up. Exhausted. However, while at the beginning of this week I felt like the hard work was finally done, it’s really just beginning.

      We’re already 2 and a half weeks from launch date, September 26 2011!!

      The book will be available in softcover(!) and Kindle on Amazon.com, and in several incredible digital packages here on DaveUrsillo.com (.PDF, iPad, .mobi, audiobook and video-book). …

      The Tao of Following Your Dreams: Inklings of a Revolution (and How You Can Help)

      “If you want to be a great leader, you must learn to follow the path. Stop trying to control. Let go of fixed plans and concepts, and the world will govern itself.” ~Lao Tsu

      In the past month, a very informal blog post styled as a “speech I never gave” went viral — raking thousands of visitors in just 48 hours and becoming the site’s most popular piece ever.

      Then, I decided to officially write a book (16,470 words and counting), which will be published for you this summer(!!).

      And last week, I released a free 19-page e-book for you…

      The last few weeks have been a wild and awesome whirlwind.

      I attended my first conference ever at BlogWorld Expo in New York City and got to meet some of my best buddies in the blogosphere like Farnoosh Brock, Srini Rao and Bernardo Mendez, while meeting a ton of new people and making many new friends.

      The following week I traveled to Portland, Oregon for the first time for the World Domination Summit, survived jumping out of a perfectly good airplane with over 40 other World-Domineers, connected with …

      -

      How do you tell a conference of 500 of some of the most talented and ambitious game-changers around that — in spite of their noble aims, world-shifting aspirations and even with their current successes — they’re all… kind of going about it wrong?

      Well, at Chris Guillebeau’s World Domination Summit (WDS) in Portland, Oregon this past weekend, I didn’t quite get the opportunity.

      A few months ago I was totally surprised to have been selected as a potential …
