As I am not much of a reader (actually I fall asleep) and spend a lot of time in my car, I find audio books to be an excellent source of knowledge and insight, not mention an efficient use of my time.
Over the past few weeks, I have been listening to two great audio books.
The first is ‘The One Thing’ by Gary Keller (you can find this in Audible.com at http://www.audible.com.au/pd/Business/The-ONE-Thing-Audiobook/B00FOXW858). Seriously if you want to start to get things done, then you need to read/listen to this book. It serves as a simple reminder that having a list of to-do’s is a waste of time as you will never get them done and the reality is that most of the tasks on that list are not important. If there is one thing you do today, it needs to be getting this book.
Today I picked up two great quotes from this book, these being:
Move from Entreprenuer to Purposeful – E to P
Do you want to the Author of your life or a Victim.
The other book is ‘The Obstacle Is the Way’ by Ryan Holiday (you can find it on Audible.com at http://www.audible.com.au/pd/Health-Personal-Development/The-Obstacle-Is-the-Way-Audiobook/B00K257NIK). This book by itself is excellent as it explains that by looking at challenges from a different perspective you can use them to launch yourself well past the challenge.
Do yourself a favour and get these books today. No, don’t put it on that to-do list. If you are going to do it, then do it now. If you don’t do it now, then you might as well forget you read this post.
