Phil's Financial Tip of the Day:

Read Any Good Business Books Lately?
April 12, 2012 By Harvey Mackay

People who read business books earn more money – a lot more! – even in tough economic times. According to a number of studies, business people who read at least seven business books a year earn over 2.3 times more than those who read only one per year.

Why?

One reason is they have a constant flow of new ideas and strategies they can use to help their careers, their teams and their companies. Given the uncertainty of layoffs and other challenges as the economy slowly recovers, you should do everything you can to help your team and your company. That is the best way to not only safeguard your career, but also to help it grow.

You can find a stream of new and practical ideas to drive your success from the world’s business experts. Many of them have written books offering their proven strategies and winning ideas. One winning idea, and the book is worth its weight in gold. It’s a terrific investment.
