One of the great things about investing your time in building your business is the personal development you will experience. Personal development simply means that you, the person, can get better by investing in yourself on a regular basis. This is one of those ideas that can help you become the kind of person you are capable of becoming.
I hope you realize that you have without question the ability to achieve whatever dream you have. Yes, you do have that God given ability. I know without question that reading good material is one of the best ways to develop yourself into the person you can become.
The following is a statement I first read in a book by Jim Rohn:
“Leaders are readers and readers are leaders.”
I started reading good books in about 1971. I got inspired, motivated, learned about attitude, goal achievement, belief in myself, create a plan to succeed, and of course leading others. I still read something every day. I also always have a yellow highlighter and highlight whatever kind of jumps off the page. I can pick up any book in my office and when I open it I read the highlights.
I’m going to recommend four books to start. Make sure you have a highlighter and then get started. You might say you don’t have time to read. If you are serious about your personal development you’ll make time to read. This is the greatest investment in yourself that you can make.
