I realized I have been reading 1 book a week consistenly for the past 3 years. 1-2 books a month the years before that. Here are a series of blogs on the main lessons I got in Twitter like fashion (140 characters or less) from around 200 books. I’ll start with 10 business books first.

Here Goes:

Your work is a calling. If you look up the word secular in the Bible, you will not find it. Work is your ministry, it should bring glory to God!

Adversity Quotient @ Work

The Q word is overused. You have IQ, EQ (not the diaper), AQ, SQ, etc. The author used climbing as a metaphor…Climbers, Campers, & Quitters. 

Automatic Millionaire

Make saving & investing automatic. Have a system that doesn’t depend on following a budget or being disciplined.

The book is based on NLP. It teaches how to make decisions & how our brains are wired. Many good stuff but a lot of new age mumbo-gumbo too.

Red represents all the industries in existence today. Blue is the unknown market space. Search the road of least resistance. Highly Recommended!

In the top 5 business books I’ve read. 3 qualities of a businessman: Entrepreneur (Visionary), Manager (Planner), and Technician (Doer). Balance the 3.

Meetings are usually a waste of time because its boring. How do you make it interesting? By adding what they use in movies…conflict. Read this!
