There are problems that I suddenly “know” and can accidentally read a book with a similar situation, opening up a solution for myself and my business.

Second, you need to have a mindset that “reading this book is necessary for me”. Because, when you feel the need, you can pay attention and do it.

Fourth, you share with a friend about the book you are reading, this will stimulate you to learn and read more.
