Reading. Want to move up in company size? Want to make it from CFO, CIO, COO to CEO? There are lots of great steps to get there and today we are going to talk about reading. Are you reading the magazines that directly relate to your business? Typically there are 4 magazines for almost any industry that really matter. Do you know what those 4 are for your company / desired company? If you aren't reading industry related magazines, then you are giving away power. You should be reading 4 per month and GQ and Maxim only count for a very few industries!

Books. Read one nonfiction business related book per month. Over time, over really just a year, you will have so many great new ideas and perspectives that you will absolutely shine when compared to your competitors...at board meetings, when interviewing for promotions, when interviewing to change companies...and at dinner parties...a place where many promotions are really decided!

Short on time? Get some audio books. Any decent business bestseller is available this way. Look for the ones read by the author, they just come across better.

Bye for now...Jack
