According to Serious Startups, 95% of entrepreneurs have a bachelors degree or higher. On this #WisdomWednesday, I need you to take one fact away with you, if you learn something, anything, on a continuous basis, you will succeed and you will grow, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and financially.
You don’t have to enroll in college to learn and grow. One of the easiest ways to learn and to grow is to read. This is where most of you start huffing and puffing and making excuses about how busy you are and how you don’t have time to read but I can guarantee that once you stop yourself from learning, you will stop your progression through life. You don’t have to sit down and read a 1000 page book, but you need to keep learning.
Here are some quick tips. First, before opening Facebook or instagram, open google and type in a phrase. For example, if you are launching or building your bakery business, type in “What is trending in baking” or type something similar. Click an article that interest you and read it. Maybe read two or three articles but make sure you read them. Google puts the world at your fingertips and all you need to do is to use it. As simple as that, you will learn something new that you can utilize or you will cement information that you already knew. A second tip if googling is not your thing is to pick up a magazine. Find a fact based article rather than one geared solely toward entertainment and read that. Last but at no means least, read a book. Even if it’s one book per month, read one that has significance. I’m not saying you can’t read for entertainment, what I am saying is to first read something that will broaden your mind then, read for entertainment.
There is an old adage that I love to use that says in small part, the more you learn, the more you earn. That my friends is wisdom.
If you need a head start, I know a great book that everyone should read. It’s paperback, it’s cheap and it’s filled with amazing insight. Don’t worry, it’s not a textbook or a compilation of business statistics, it’s the story of Sam Walton, the man who started Walmart. Including this day, it is in my opinion a book everyone should read. He tells the story of his life and fills it with awe moments of how to succeed if you are determined to succeed. It is a quick and simple must read. Borrow it from a friend, rent it at the library or buy it at Amazon for a few dollars but please, make this your first read. Here is a link link to the book if you want to see what it looks like or if you want to buy it >> https://amzn.to/2n4dAaJ
