Reading is an exercise of the mind .
It is what goes a long way in helping you to think outside the box, because it sharpens your thinking process and makes you to always go beyond what other people would ordinarily do .

As someone who is already into business, or thinking of starting one it is very important to try as much as possible to make sure that you are somebody who is always reading especially things that are related to your field .

This is the only way to stay ahead , most especially if you consider the fact that our world is continuously coming up with new innovations and ideas due to technological advancements every blessed now and then .

It will be disastrous for you as a business owner to continuously remain in a particular position, without ever thinking about how you can expand your knowledge and grow beyond normal restrictions that other business owners are having .

The fact is that, you can never get this knowledge anywhere except through reading and then staying updated to what is currently happening in the business world .

Wjen you are knowledgeable from reading so many things, you will not go and start a business where other people are running away from

Like they say, knowledge is power. But I believe it's one thing to it's one thing to gain knowledge and it's another to make use of it to achieve the desired result. When it comes to our business, reading is not the only way to gain knowledge, making research is also a great way to get the desired knowledge, or learning form others.

I don't know why but I hate reading of books because reading of books is not really on my own line and even if I have to start up a business I have to research online on how I can make the business successful. I do not like reading of books because I consider it to be among one of the most boring thing in my life and I just have to look for how I can start up my business without having to go through Reading process except maybe online and seeking the advice of an expert.

It is even the best and the most suitable if I seek direct advice from people that really understand how the business can be done perfect to succeed. Because they will be able to guide me on how to get started .

Nowadays I have come to find out that I don't really have to start a business most especially a serious business when I am not academically qualified in that area of business , I can only be able to start up a smaller business I can handle but engaging in big business to me it must be the type of business I am academically qualified and capable of handling

Reading is very important if you really want to succeed in life generally whether in business or any kind of field.

Many people who are venturing into several businesses do not know that reading will open them up to become successful in their business by gathering a lot of ideas about their particular line of business.

You must understand that there are people who have been able to run successful businesses and if you can be able to find their materials and read what they have to say about businesses, then there is a high possibility that you would probably succeed.

You must understand that there are a lot of competition in business and reading will help you to know how you can compete favorably and become a successful businessman.

The first kind of business I developed much interest on was network marketing. As of that time, I have a friend who was into network marketing even though we were in high school. He started the business and was doing very well and that was when I developed a lot of interest for businesses especially online.

I bought a lot of books and started reading and I was able to gather a lot of knowledge but my limiting factor as of that time was capital.

You have nothing to lose when you read. Reading is a skill that many of people take for granted. But if you can read, you have one of the most powerful tools at your disposal to improve your life. Reading has been linked to increased empathy, improved communication skills, and better sleep. In short, it makes you a better person

If you're an entrepreneur or hoping to start a small business soon, reading can help you even more than that. It can make you a better business owner. Here's why:

1. Reading improves your writing skills

As an entrepreneur, one of the most important skills you can have is being able to communicate effectively in writing—whether it's emails, proposals, or reports. When you read more, this becomes easier because you gain exposure to different writing styles and become more familiar with language conventions.

2. Reading helps you find new sources of inspiration

Movies and television shows are great sources of inspiration for entrepreneurs—but so is literature! If you're trying to grow your business but feel stuck on how to do it, picking up a book could give you the ideas and motivation you need to move forward again and break limits.
