If someone was to give me a ton of money to start a new company and had to assemble a all star team of people picking the CEO would be easy – Andy Liu.
Andy Liu has had an amazing track record in starting companies and is one of the smartest guys I know in the industry. He spoke at the Elite Retreat last year and will be speaking again this year. His presentations were amazingly eye opening and I think I took more notes then attendees.
Andy has FINALLY started a blog and I think after reading a few posts you will see what I am talking about.
Head on over to inspiredstartup.com and say hi!

Oh, since you recommended checking his blog, I’ll do it to see how smart is this guy! Thanks for the share J.
January 12, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Same here
January 25, 2009 at 4:34 am
You will be surprised how smart Andy Liu is, Zak,
I read his blog and I know he’s one smart dude worth listening to.
January 6, 2009 at 2:07 pm
You should have him do guest posts too.
January 6, 2009 at 2:22 pm
This is a good find because I haven’t seen that many good business blogs
January 7, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Me neither. A lot of the ones I’ve come across just rehash BS.
January 6, 2009 at 2:23 pm
that is a good idea! Duh
January 6, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Was going through the blog quickly, and i can say – the writer has seriously added nice images in the blog posts , quite creative touch!
January 6, 2009 at 2:33 pm
Going to check it out now, a guest post would be cooool!
January 6, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Sounds interesting i will check his blog.

I can’t get over these hilarious default gravatars lol!!!
January 6, 2009 at 2:45 pm
Nice of you to do some free promo!!!
Will be sure to check it out!!
January 6, 2009 at 3:14 pm
Hah, my girlfriend loves BuddyTV (mostly for Lost stuff)
His posts look great, so I hit that little orange button that will keep me posted. Thanks for the heads up
January 6, 2009 at 3:42 pm
wow! another valuable blog to follow! Thanks for sharing this resource Jeremy..
January 6, 2009 at 3:57 pm
i DON’T WHAT TO SAY b/c I didn’t even know who Andy Liu was. thanks for the post …lets see what I can glean from his site
January 6, 2009 at 3:58 pm
Hey Shoe . . you’re absolutely right! After a few posts, you get a good feeling that Andy’s new blog is going to be one to watch out for this coming year! He adds some humor to his plethora of knowledge . . yes, I said plethora!
January 6, 2009 at 4:02 pm
Better to read content from seasoned credible pros then those who never have been in business writing on how to make money in business. This guy is obviously a veteran with a proven track record. Looking forward to keeping up with his blog.
January 6, 2009 at 5:14 pm
Thanks for the post Definitely a good find.
January 6, 2009 at 5:34 pm
Nice find. I think the future of the United States is in small business.
January 6, 2009 at 5:37 pm
He is a pretty accomplish guy for someone so young.
January 6, 2009 at 6:26 pm
Hey thanks for the link Schoemaker, Neil’s mentioned his name before so I’ll check him out!
January 6, 2009 at 8:03 pm
Thanks Shoemoney for this great informations, is that Andy Liu the guy who sold his blog worth US$23 million to some finance institution?
January 6, 2009 at 8:17 pm
I may be wrong, but you could be thinking of Johns Wu who sold his CD rates blog to Bankrates.com for 15 million dollars.
Now that’s golden!
January 6, 2009 at 8:21 pm
I think you are right, similar event…thx for corrections
January 7, 2009 at 12:15 pm
Didn’t someone say that he was actually stealing content? It was probably just a rumor though.
January 6, 2009 at 9:55 pm
I think highly of all your ideas and recomendations.
January 6, 2009 at 10:38 pm
I hadn’t hear of Andy Liu until now, but I’m always looking for another good business blog to read. Thanks for sharing.
January 7, 2009 at 12:16 am
Me too..! Thanks for sharing!
January 7, 2009 at 12:43 am
Off Topic, but hey, I’m venting. WTF Wordpress, now you are working on 2.8, aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. You guys need to get off the crack, you are driving us crazy!!!
Another vent- Hello spell check, blog is a word now.
Okay, I’m finished, sorry.
January 7, 2009 at 11:50 pm
Eh, I’d rather have updates then to have updates every once in a blue moon. At least they’re on top of things.
January 7, 2009 at 1:35 am
thanks for the recommendation, but (there’s always a ‘but’) I was really able to get into his stuff. Maybe I’ll give it another read. Cheers!
January 7, 2009 at 2:13 am
Will check it you, sounds great.
January 7, 2009 at 2:34 am
Great recommendation Jeremy. I read several of his posts…what a great resource for business owners and those who desire to be. Lots of good stuff. I have met Andy a couple of times, he is a SUPER nice guy and very willing to help out.
January 8, 2009 at 6:59 am
BTW, check out Neil Patel’s blog. He just wrote about Andy as well here: http://www.quicksprout.com/2009/01/06/looking-for-a-mentor-why-not-use-mine/
Good advice and more solid info on Andy’s character.
Scott @ TrainSignal
January 7, 2009 at 2:41 am
That is a great blog. Thanks for sharing Shoemoney
January 10, 2009 at 4:15 am
It is a good find but I have way too many blogs to read as it is now.. although, he seems to have some good insight.
January 7, 2009 at 4:58 am
Ya I am also inspired from this blog.
January 7, 2009 at 8:37 am
will definitely be taking a close look
January 7, 2009 at 9:15 am
That blog has a lot of good information and it is written in a simple way without trying to make something more complicated than it is.
January 7, 2009 at 9:53 am
nice recommendation the blog is cool and very informative too. thanks for the find.
January 7, 2009 at 10:45 am
great new blog to add to my daily read, thanks shoe !
January 7, 2009 at 10:58 am
Yeah I just saw that this Andy guy was an mentor of Neil Patel and was added to his killer blogs. Now you have recommended him too, so I think I should take a look and bookmark him as well, since he runs with an awesome blogging group.
January 7, 2009 at 12:13 pm
I didn’t realize he was behind BuddyTV. I checked out their videos about the show “Supernatural” because they’re fans like myself & had great interviews with Jared & Jensen.
I’m going to stop by his blog now.
January 7, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Andy inspiring guy for all of us, what’s the secret?
January 7, 2009 at 9:59 pm
I read his latest post. Nice and clear.
January 7, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Wow. I loved this post. It’s so true about connectors, they are the portal to reaching new audiences.
I would like to add that while connectors are vital to success, they are probably the busiest people we know. Kudos, they are constantly building and creating. We should remember that connectors tend to be leaders.
We get enamored by connectors and often focus our energy in chances to collaborate with them and then on accident divi less energy towards the loyal appreciator.
Hambeem says, strike a healthy balance to both. This is one of the best posts I’ve read in a while!!!
January 8, 2009 at 5:50 am
This is good! I’m planning to put up a small online and even offline business. I hope that this would really help!
January 8, 2009 at 6:40 am
I can’t find his blog?please advice
January 8, 2009 at 9:08 am
Sure this is a great reading. I am sure your introduction sure will bring andy some good traffic..
January 8, 2009 at 10:10 am
Spot on! I love the things I learn from your blog! I’m new to the blogosphere and links like the one you gave help me immensely!
January 8, 2009 at 1:51 pm
Anyone else notice how the comments on Andy’s blog…exploded?
I definitely remember there being only a few comments on his posts when I looked at his blog the first time it was linked. I go back there 2 days later, and now there are 30-40 comments on every post?!
January 8, 2009 at 4:54 pm
Yeah they did explode when two top blog masters said to go check him out. quicksprout and shoemoney, and who knows how many others said to check him out. The only bad thing about that blog is it has no follow and the top commentators have no links.
January 8, 2009 at 7:28 pm
That is a pretty impressive start up for a young blogger. Guess Ideas come with young thinkers attached
January 9, 2009 at 9:47 am
Just came across some blog it’s http://zenhabits.net, real cool inspiring from Leo, less in two years the blog is success due to zen attitude, check it out guys
January 9, 2009 at 9:55 am
