The foreign writers that I love to read are Andy Stanley, John Maxwell, Dave Ramsey, Seth Godin, Larry Burkett among others. Of course, part of my daily reading is the Bible where I get much wisdom, especially for financial matters.
I started to read many books on leadership, marketing, digital media, economics, business and others. I did not limit my reading to finance materials. There were many new things I picked up that were directly or indirectly related to my profession. When I started to read books, I realized that I started getting better at my writing, my teaching, and I was even becoming to be an interesting conversationalist. I noticed that many Filipinos are not in the habit of reading, and I was one of them until my friends from church started giving me books and encouraged me to read more. When was the last time you read a good book? When I say good book, I am referring to good reference materials and not those fictional stories of vampires in love or some fantasy magical school. Have you ever honestly asked the question, “Am I investing in myself?” I believe the best way to earn is to first invest on your best performing asset-You! Improving yourself will be the best way for you to earn better. I hope that you will find this excerpt helpful.
