Reading is Working
from Across the Desk · host Elizabeth Plouffe
Are you a reader? Or at least a learner? Or at least curious? Something? I'm a massive reader and while most WWW's are devoted to books, this week is devoted to why you should read books for your business. A friend told me she felt like she wasn't working on her business if she was reading about business. And I understand that - I do. BUT, you are missing a whole world of expertise and opportunities if you don't continue to learn about business! Andrew Carnegie himself (he was a huge bigwig) was a proponent of Master Mind groups. The value they provided. The skill gaps they filled. So here's an idea: think of reading, podcasts, videos and the like as your very own Master Mind group. Learn from people who've already succeeded much like you are trying to do now. Take advantage! This week - learn about how books can enrich your business relationships, improve your conversation and help you deliver the best possible service to your clients. After all - isn't that why you're in business in the first place?
