People are always asking me what I read and to recommend books to them, and I find this difficult. I have an attention span of a gnat and I am a book ‘dipper’ flitting from book to book and I generally have several books on the go at any one time. But I can recommend this – read anyway!
I make a point of noting down the title of any book that other people in my circle are reading and then I click onto Amazon and buy it – and then when you go to log out Amazon tells you the titles of other similar books – and I generally buy those as well (all of that is tax deductible). This means that I have a constant stream of incoming resources which may, or may not, attract me. In general though there is always something to learn from anything I look at and if I just get one thing from a book then it has been worth while.
It is more important to be constantly open to learning and development that it is to be religiously following a predefined path, and I often say that I still don’t know what I am going to do when I grow up. Ray Kroc also used to say that as long as he was ‘green and growing’ that was fine – because the alternative was stagnation and death.
As they say the mind is like a parachute – it only works when it’s open – but if you insist on having some of my recent reading titles here goes: anything by David Bach, but specifically – Start Late, Finish Rich: T Harv Eker – Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Rob Parsons – the Money Secret: anything by Robert Alan, but specifically – Multiple Streams of Income.
In return if any of you read a good book – let me know the details on gill.fielding@wealthcompany.com.
Happy reading!
