Do you ever read something online and secretly think to yourself “I wish I wrote that”?
It happens to me all the time.
So today, I’d like to reach back into the blog archives of some of the best writers on the web discussing online business, entrepreneurship, and living the life of a cubicle renegade.
[Note: Episode 1 of the Cubicle Renegade Podcast is dropping soon, so sign up for free updates to get notified when it does.]
Instead of reading a summary of what each essay is about and trying to determine which of them is a “must read”, do me a favor and read them all. Then, reach out to the authors of the pieces that really hit home with you.
Some are long and some are short, but I recommend you take the time to read each of these posts this week. (Yes, I’m giving you homework.)

<3 Back! If only I had such amazing handwriting as you do…
I think what you are doing with the Bold Academy is awesome too Amber. I'm excited to hear how it goes.
Amazing list, Caleb, and I’m honored to be on it!
I’m going to have a lot of reading to do today….
Hah, no problem Danny.
I put off all my blog post reading to the weekends to stay on task. Gotta love the “Reading List” feature in Apple’s Safari browser and how it sinks with my iPhone.
Great collection. I’ve read some of them before but decided to save the others to Read It Later. As Danny said, lots of reading
Hi there Caleb,
I found your blog through Corbett Barr. It seems awesome!
I will certainly go through all of these articles, although I have read a few of them already, like the ones written by Pat Flynn and Chris Guillebeau.
Kind regards,
Victoralexon
Caleb,
What an amazing resource! Thanks for putting this together. I’d read couple of these posts before, but most were new to me. I’ve read them, and even book marked a few which appealed to me particularly.
Thanks for comprising this list Caleb. Pat Flynn’s post means the most to me and my current stage.
I’ve been reading and taking in so many things to make me succeed that from now on out it’s down to action!
Thanks!!
Thanks for the shout out here Jordan! And Caleb - thank you for including me in this post! I appreciate it!
Hey Caleb,
Man, where the sky went? I just see STARS all over the place.
Amazing compilation, thank you sir!
Sergio
Hey Caleb! I know I’m late to the party, just wanted to say thank you so much for the shout-out!! LOVE the list you compiled, and I’m honored to be named among some of my absolute favorite people
Of course Jenny. I loved reading your “lessons learned” from only a few months in. It was perfect timing for me since I was making the leap at the same time it came out.
Thanks for sharing the list Caleb. Yes Pat has been an inspiration to many
Need to action on the learning out of this posts. They are simple, effective and actionable.
Awesome post Caleb, lots of great reading material here. I highly recommend people check out link #8 “How to Get Rich by Mark Cuban” for some solid, no-nonsense advice. Love him or hate him, Cuban knows what’s he’s talking about when it comes to building empires and generating wealth.
Very nice collection. I have saved for my daily reading list. I read the Pat Flyn post the day he posted it. I really liked it. Really motivated me to get in gear that day!
Excellent collection. All of these can be read at times when one feels low about not meeting success often in IM world to feel motivated again. Great stuff!
