How Entrepreneurial People Get More Entrepreneurial

I worked a good chunk of time for a very successful entrepreneur that made a fortune from real estate. For the time I was with him I saw how from a single person he grew to a super efficient team of about 15 people that are building and renovating at a dazzling speed.

One unique thing about him is the amount of books he reads. Almost every day, I see him with a different one. Sometimes its about dog psychology (he got a dog and was very into teaching it), sometimes its about stock volatilitis, sometimes its about oil and comodities. We discuss some, he gives me to read others, but its way too much for me to keep up with him. Now that his team does most of the work, he has plenty of time to read and get an edge over competition. He also doesn’t just read. He reads interesting useful books that have studies, reflections, wisdom and experience.

I decided i should try it too. Read a bunch of books on networking, communications, and motivation/attitude. I have to say that the knowledge I gained from those few books is nowhere to be found in our college textbooks. And by far more useful. I also think that in the long run, when I look back and see what books I have read, I will see correlation with what I have achieved. For that reason, from now on I will review all the good books that I have been through. I am setting up a section named “Books” where all my posts with reviews will go. Enjoy.
