Happy Friday!

Links from this week that stuck with me:

• Seth Godin asks, Are you working on YOUR agenda or someone else’s? Great reminder here about setting priorities.

• Great resource for freelancers spotted by MediaJobsDaily: The Open Notebook, a database of pitches that worked.

• The best self-help is realizing how lucky you are, says blogger Joel Runyon.

• 5 tips to keep new entrepreneurs sane and profitable, from Jen Gresham at Everyday Bright.

• Helpful post from (my) literary agent Rachelle Gardner about how novelists should brand themselves.

• From Soshable: You’ve got your first social media client… Now what?

• The New York Times had a succinct piece on the decreasing value of the college education: Will Dropouts Save America?

Enjoy your weekend!
