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.
Same here
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.
You should have him do guest posts too.
This is a good find because I haven’t seen that many good business blogs
Me neither. A lot of the ones I’ve come across just rehash BS.
that is a good idea! Duh
Was going through the blog quickly, and i can say – the writer has seriously added nice images in the blog posts , quite creative touch!
Going to check it out now, a guest post would be cooool!
Sounds interesting i will check his blog.

I can’t get over these hilarious default gravatars lol!!!
Nice of you to do some free promo!!!
Will be sure to check it out!!
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
wow! another valuable blog to follow! Thanks for sharing this resource Jeremy..
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
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!
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.
Thanks for the post Definitely a good find.
Nice find. I think the future of the United States is in small business.
He is a pretty accomplish guy for someone so young.
Hey thanks for the link Schoemaker, Neil’s mentioned his name before so I’ll check him out!
Thanks Shoemoney for this great informations, is that Andy Liu the guy who sold his blog worth US$23 million to some finance institution?
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!
I think you are right, similar event…thx for corrections
Didn’t someone say that he was actually stealing content? It was probably just a rumor though.
I think highly of all your ideas and recomendations.
I hadn’t hear of Andy Liu until now, but I’m always looking for another good business blog to read. Thanks for sharing.
Me too..! Thanks for sharing!
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.
Eh, I’d rather have updates then to have updates every once in a blue moon. At least they’re on top of things.
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!
Will check it you, sounds great.
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.
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.

That is a great blog. Thanks for sharing Shoemoney
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.
Ya I am also inspired from this blog.
will definitely be taking a close look
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.
nice recommendation the blog is cool and very informative too. thanks for the find.
great new blog to add to my daily read, thanks shoe !
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.
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.
Andy inspiring guy for all of us, what’s the secret?
I read his latest post. Nice and clear.
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!!!
This is good! I’m planning to put up a small online and even offline business. I hope that this would really help!
I can’t find his blog?please advice
Sure this is a great reading. I am sure your introduction sure will bring andy some good traffic..
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!
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?!
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.
That is a pretty impressive start up for a young blogger. Guess Ideas come with young thinkers attached
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
Wow very cool, I am inspired. Def. a nice market that has been underserved.
Thanks for sharing your work with us! Your theme is just awesome!
thanks shoe……making big money is my obsesion……nice linking
