Leaders Are Readers

Reading is critical to your success and development as a human being and in your business. To put it simply: leaders are readers.

Learning doesn’t stop when you get that diploma or settle into a job. Your development matters, and that’s why I’m a huge advocate for self-education and ongoing learning.

My question to you is: are you a reader?

Reading Matters, Here’s Why:

It doesn’t matter if you’re an entrepreneur, stay-at-home mom or young professional – reading content to better yourself and your business will benefit you because:

• The most important investment you can make is your knowledge bank – you are constantly expanding your capacity, staying current with changes in the world and learning best practices for your life, leadership and business.
• The more you read, the more you know – reading a variety of content, not just blogs or opinion pieces – but books – will broaden your perspective, change how you think and interact with the world around you.
• The more you know, the better you do – What you input, you’ll output. Reading will enhance the way you perform, change your behaviour, decisions, speaking capabilities, and expand your knowledge on new topics.

Reading isn’t just a good idea, it’s critical.

Leaders are Readers

The Thought Readers book club was birthed from this very idea. I craved knowledge and information from a very young age. Being intentional with self-education has played a big role in my success as an entrepreneur and personal betterment – and I want the same for you.

I want to see your potential come to fruition.

I want your life to be transformed too.

Leaders are not passive. If you took just one principle from the next book you read and applied it to your life and/or business – imagine the transformation you could create over time!

Practical Tips to Set Yourself Up For Success

Thought Readers are not passive. Here are a few ways to get the most out of that book you’re currently reading:

1. Keep your tools to record your thoughts and “aha” moments nearby: pen, pencil, sticky notes, notebook – you don’t want to forget these “rich nuggets”
2. Write inside the book: consider this your personal mastermind with the author. The ideas that come to you in that moment of time are important.
3. Have accountability to stay on track: whether that’s joining a book club or finding a partner to read it with.
