Kristie T of
webmomz.com recently wrote a post entitled
Why I REALLY Don't Need to Buy Another Marketing Book.
In the post Kristie shares a good bit of her library with us (I'm honored that my book
Vantagepoints sits on her shelf) and also challenges herself (and in turn us) to focus not only on what we've read or will read, but also what we will do what what we learn.
My only quarrel with Kristie is when she says, "
My goal for next year is to IMPLEMENT what I have read. No more learning (which will be hard - I love learning)."
My quarrel?
Reading is learning at one level (acquiring knowledge), but so is acting on what we've read. In other words, when Kristie (and we) apply what we've read, we are are still learning - in fact we are learning at deeper and more meaningful levels than when simply acquire knowledge.
This leaves me with four questions for you.
What is in your library?
What will you read next?
What do you hope to learn?
How do you plan to apply it?
