If you want to earn more, you have to learn more.
I developed a habit of reading or listening to voices of value, and it meant everything to my career.
The things I learned had a very long shelf life – I could use them for decades or forever.
Do you learn everyday?
From who?
Can you suggest some audio books?
Yes, I take every opportunity to learn things that will be beneficial to my life in some way. I’ve read the classics from Dale Carnegie (How to Win Friends and Influence People) and Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich) , also John C. Maxwell (Developing the Leader Within You), Steven R Covey (7 Habits of Highly Effective People) and Zig Zigglar. I enjoy the books and newsletters of James Clear (Atomic Habits). I have also read Start with Why by Simon Sinek, Getting Things Done by David Allen, Eat That Frog! By Brian Tracy (and several more of his titles), and Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki. All of these have great information to improve our lives!
I’m a lifelong learner and enjoy acquiring knowledge that will help me help my customers and co-workers. I find that many of the ideas I learned long ago from people like Earl Nightingale, Zig Ziglar and Eli Goldratt are as valid today as when I first read or heard them.
So true, Larry. Wish I understood this sooner. This concept/mindset needs to be placed in front of high school and college students. I’ve learned from countless people: writers, coaches, leaders and many folks in the CN Network! I’m a fan of Andy Stanley and Patrick Lencioni, though there are plenty of others, too. If people don’t already know about this podcast, I encourage them to listen to The Learning Leader by Ryan Hawk.
Go, Austin!
