Mission Impossible or Mission Possible?


Over the last year of so, I've been concentrating on increasing my value for me and my team. But, I'll tell you when I first started off, it felt like Mission Impossible. I came up with this crazy idea that I would read and implement the techniques of 4 books per month.

It was a slow start but once I started to truly enjoy what I was reading, I found it wasn't very difficult after all. And, before you knew it, my plan was becoming more like Mission Possible. To give you an idea of how many books and this is only a portion of them, as about the other half are in forms of eBooks, I've attached a photo of my book case. I actually surpassed my goal of reading 4 books per month.

There's a favorite saying that Charlie "Tremendous" Jones had said, and it goes like this: "You are the same today you’ll be in five years except for two things: the people you meet and the books you read."

Every time I hear or read that quote, that exemplifies a leader. Leaders are evolving by improving their lives spiritually and intellectually. And, this is the reason I am dedicated to evolving and succeeding every single day.

If you aren't increasing your value, you're missing out on a lot of opportunities. Choose to read something that will help you and you enjoy. Most importantly, have fun! So, do yourself a favor and don't miss out.

Your thoughts

What ways are you increasing your value? Do you prefer reading books, eBooks or listening to audio books?


Dedicated to your success,
