From Jim Bell, MS, President, IFPA
I am often times asked for my secret to success.
Though this question seems simple, the answer is very complex.
The “Readers Digest Abridged Version” of the answer to this
question starts with the immortal words of Sir Isaac Newton “If I have
accomplished anything, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of
Giants!” I am indebted to many
Giants, who through the generosity of their great tomes of knowledge
changed my life.
There are thousands of great books; the following
12 are the ones I selected for you to start with.
You can benefit most from your reading if you utilize a journal
and outline the books as you read. This
is how you transform reading into learning.
The next step is to transform your learning into
action. There are many great
books, with many great ideas, but only those ideas that you put into
action will help make you great.
I wish you all the very best in all your endeavors
and don’t forget “Success is a journey, not a destination.”
