And here we are in 2020 already. Although I didn’t keep my 2019 reading list updated very well, I am glad to report that I read at least 6 books geared toward business, entrepreneurship and productivity. Simple math would quickly reveal that I only achieved half of my goal, but I did also read other books. I’ll give myself the benefit of the doubt, press on in 2020 with a similar goal. Below you’ll find the list of books I’m reading by quarter. I only plan for a quarter at a time because I have to find the books that I want to read and buy them, check them out from the library or borrow them from the office.
This year I was lucky enough to find a couple books in the office library that was started by the sales and marketing teams. They aligned nicely with my goal for 2020. I found myself really enjoying these shorter books that read like fiction or included many short chapters that kept me motivated and wanting to keep going to the next one. 2 of the books I read in 2-3 days each. Quick wins, right! Without further a’do, here are the first 3 books of the year.
