So, my bookcase is something I am very proud of. I love my books and enjoy reading when I can but a thought occurred to me today as I added a couple new books to the collection. There is something very VERY wrong, something I haven't noticed over the years as I've built my collection.
Can you see it?

It may not seem obvious at first glance.
In fact my collection may seem respectable or maybe even similar to your own.
So, What's the problem here?
Today I came to the realisation that although I have a lot of "business" books, they are autobiographies, stories, about business. Only a select few are information on how to actually DO something!
This is something that HAS to change! I am going to work on collecting more books that give me useful SKILLS that I can actually use.
Does your bookcase look like this? It's a very easy trick to fall into and one that has taken me years to realise.
