Read, Read, Read

Nothing is as powerful as knowledge. Other than our hands-on experiences, there's no better way to get knowledge than reading. 

I have the 15/15 plan going for me. For the last 15 years I have dedicated more than 15 hours weekly to nonfiction reading—all outside office hours. 

Reading, like listening, is an excellent way to inhale information. As you develop your future strategies and directions, consider allocating part of your day and week to broadening your knowledge base. Invest in yourself. It's rewarding, fun, and profitable.
