My $1,000 Challenge

I was thinking lately:

If a person read a book a week for the next year, it would be a total investment of roughly $1,000 -- say, $20 (or less) per book x’s 50 weeks (even taking a two week vacation during the year). And if that same person could derive one – only one -- good idea from each book, how could this NOT be the single-biggest return on a $1,000 investment? One idea alone could be life-changing, let alone 50!

Now, let’s make it even better, shall we? To add networking opportunities to the otherwise introverted activity of reading, why not pass on the best-of-the-best books that you find to other people, who you think could most benefit from reading them?

(Too aggressive? OK, one book a month, $240 investment, 12 great ideas!)

It’s something to consider. I can’t see how you could not have a phenomenal return on this…
