07. Quality Over Quantity: Harnessing Knowledge for Business Growth

This episode is all about making the most out of your reading time and choosing the best books to help develop your business acumen. 

 

We discuss the importance of being selective in your reading choices, focusing on quality over quantity. The episode delves into the concept of 'sundoku', a Japanese term for the pile of unread books that many busy professionals tend to accumulate. The key takeaway is that it's not about how many books you read, but about absorbing and reapplying the knowledge from the best ones.

 

We also share practical tips on how to carve out time in your busy schedule for reading, such as being selective with your TV viewing and setting up digital boundaries to limit distractions. The episode further explores the decision-making process when it comes to choosing books, advising you to use the '90-minute rule' - if a book doesn't captivate you within the first 90 minutes, it's probably not worth your time.

 

We also recommend using the Goodreads app to check ratings and reviews before committing to a book. The episode concludes with the reminder that developing knowledge takes time - so be patient and consistent in your reading habits.

 

Whether you're a seasoned reader or someone looking to incorporate more reading into your life, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Join us on this journey and start making your reading time count for your business growth.
