Books that improved me and my business skills

摘要

EDUCATION IS A VALUABLE ASSET WHEN IT COMES to success in life and business. Going to college is the standard road map many people use to get an education that helps them succeed, but I never really enjoyed the classroom. I wanted to get out and get busy. I did better with hands-on learning, either by myself or having a mentor working alongside me and teaching me a process.I worked in the marine canvas industry as an employee for 18 years alongside a great mentor. This style of learning allowed me to pick up the trade very quickly. It also helped me understand the benefit of education from a different angle. I realized that I could educate myself outside of the classroom, and I began to read articles in Marine Fabricator magazine even though I wasn't an Industrial Fabrics Association International member yet.I already knew how valuable "self-education" was, but I began to understand that there were many paths that could lead me to a better educated self. Books became my road map to success. In this article, I will share four of the books that have helped me become a better human and a better business owner.
