Think & Grow Rich: 3 Ways To Start Right Now

Confession: I love to read.

As a kid, book in hand all the time. As an adult...not as much as I would like - like everyone else, I just don't have enough time!

But I still make time to read business books. A lot of them.

A while ago, I started talking every once in a while about a business book I had read - and people loved it. I didn't have the time then, but recently thought about sharing, more systematically, not just a "book review" but how I actually USE information from business and personal development books that I read.

...So I Started a "Book Club"

I decided to share the lessons I was getting from these books: the usable lessons. Practical. "Boots-on-the-ground," so to speak.

I wanted to make sure that it was a situation that didn't force others (believe me, I know how busy EVERYONE is!) to have to read the book as well.

My First Book: Think & Grow Rich

Why did I choose this as my first book?

• First, because it's one of the best entrepeneneurial mindset books that I've ever read. And what I mean by mindset - my definition - is how to amplify your thinking, to create better RESULTS both personally, and professionally.

Developing an entrepreneurial mindset is valuable for everyone. It can be a game-changer, leading to promotions, leadership, and self-confidence. Worth it? You decide.

(It's incredible how a book published in 1937 has so many lessons we can use today!)

• Second, it has lessons that I repeatedly return to. Even though the concepts are very simple, it is something that you can go back to time and again. (And I've probably read it or read parts of it every single year since the first time I picked it up.)
• Third, almost every high performing entrepreneur that I know has at least read this book once.

...there is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning DESIRE to possess it.

• But fourth, - importantly, this is a book that has applicability for everyone, not just entrepreneurs.

So, What Are The Three Things You Can Do Right Now?

Well, here's a video...and I also created a .PDF that outlines the three things: get the .PDF here.
