Reading has kept the Planet, Religion, Society and Business alive for centuries. Take some time to read!!!!

Today I just want to encourage business people to develop a habit of reading. I concur with Brian Tracy who advocates that a bit of something done frequently eventually turns into a habit. Read a bit today and eventually get addicted.

I encourage people to read literature related to economics, business and money at least 40% to 50% of their reading time in their early years in business, entrepreneurship or corporate careers. The reason being that one’s ability to turn a profession, skill or idea into value or money will put food on the table. For any field of study to change, improve and leave a legacy to humanity it has to end in value creation. By the way ,Value and Money are buddies.

A profession or skill that can not be turned into money is soon buried or turned into a casual toy for the rich. ”Holderness”.
