And you are totally right. As a college student, I have plenty of academic books to read that may take me a year or two to get through them. I have noticed this from reading one of my college books assigned to my class. It breaks down different kinds of intelligence, and it is helping me get through this core class. The book title is "Business and Competitive Analysis: Effective Application of New Classic Methods." It is a very good read, and I am just on chapter 4!
Glad you loved the idea. Keep reading, keep working hard on your personality, not only on your job (Jim Rohn).
Cheers!
Glad you liked it!
Let's build something big.
My two plans to earn are:
1. Learn and teach others how things work at the WA, and,
2. Drive relevant sales to my Amazon books by adding book links to relevant articles/blog posts here.
I hope this will help both me (maintain my subscription) and my readers who benefit from reading my books on 10 different categories/series.
Cheers!
