So I am a huge fan of reading. Not textbooks from school or university. I love learning, but not in school or university.. But I noticed that I have this drive to put a puzzle together a vision...
A vision of my life, my businesses, or better yet, a platform for myself upon which I will build businesses and coordinate my life. And for that I read tons..
Now, I don't read just one source. I get different perspectives. Try to decide what is best (which is hard.. you can make mistakes and make wrong decisions). Recently I have been researching ow the internet has changed the world. For that I read stuff by Chris Anderson (The Long Tail and Free), Gary Vaynerchuk (just finished his book Crush it and am always looking forward to his videos), Clay Shirky (Here Comes Everybody), Seth Godin's books, I visit Mixergy.com to see how business men from online or offline are doing and seeing different ways they succeed, Jeff Jarvis book What WOuld Google Do is awesome too. I also read success stories about Wikipedia, Digg.com or other big online successes that can be useful to my vision.
To support it, I also read about psychology (discovering yourself is incredibly important in life and business so that's why I do it), and some popular science stuff, like Malcolm Gladwell, in future I'm gonna read some Ekhart Tolle stuff and book Nudge, Black Swan and other stuff..
I'm sure I will learn a lot and will eventually complete the Puzzle (which is changing constantly so it's never ending journey). And it will be my platform for success on which I will operate. Sadly, not everyone is doing research on how internet is changing world.. and some will miss the chance, huge chance (R.Murdoch and his News corp. is certainly not getting it...).
So what Puzzle are you putting together? Maybe not about internet, but about a certain niche? Or maybe you aren't putting it together at all?? Maybe I'm just :coco:?
Please share your opinion :cheers:
