Been away for awhile, quite sick actually. Good news is, I had time to do some reading. How about you? Read any good books lately? I work very hard to read at least 4 nonfiction business related books per month. This is a lot, but I have been gifted with the ability to read fast and absorb well since I was young. More important, I owe this level of knowledge accumulation to my clients. Enough about my reading.

Let me ask you again, read any good books lately? Stephen King doesn't count, neither does the latest from Grisham. If you aren't reading, then let me ask you another question. Are you making all of the money that you want? Are you making all of the money that you want, but your job is shaky? Are you making less money than you want, and your job is shaky? Wowsers! And you aren't reading? Big mistake!

The average male college graduate will read how many business related books after he graduates from college? Any wild guesses? We are talking about in the rest of their business lives now...how many business related books will the average male college graduate read? The answer is 5. 5 books in the balance of their business lifetimes. How quickly could you develop a competitive advantage if you read one business book per month? I can tell you from experience, very quickly indeed.

We will talk more about books in the next entry. For now, go pick up any of the current NYTimes business bestsellers and give your brain a treat. You and your brain both deserve it!

Bye for now...Jack
