During the past couple of months, I have committed to read more books. Specifically, I have committed to read nonfiction books.
I read (or heard) somewhere that the majority of millionaires read at least one nonfiction book per month. I could remember a time when I really enjoyed reading fiction, so I decided to try nonfiction. To my surprise, I have thoroughly enjoyed my books thus far.
Since you are probably wondering the books I have completed are:
Good to Great
Moneyball
Since I commute each day to Bossier City from Minden, I realized the trip was the perfect opportunity to expand my knowledge... so I started looking for audio books.
I have listened to "Winning with People" by John C. Maxwell and I am currently listening to QBQ - The Question behind the question.
While the audio book thing is good, it can be expensive - especially if you are devouring books as fast as I am. One book usually lasts about a week.
Then I discovered the podcast. For those who are not yet familiar with this phenomenon, a podcast is simply a pre-recorded broadcast, saved to your Ipod. Apple Itunes music store allows you to subscribe to free podcasts and update your ipod automatically.
So far, I am subscribed to Dave Ransey, Zig Ziglar and Manager-tools.
I am learning a ton and don't plan to stop anytime soon. Never stop educating yourself. And now it is easier than ever.
May the Blog Be with You.

David,
I too enjoy listening to podcasts. They are a free source of great information. Dave Ramsey & John Maxwell are very inspiring.
