Hi, well I am back to finishes my thoughts on the book theme. Oh yes you know it! From time to time I will be adding a new book or two at you here for you to read if you have not read it and you can always give me suggestions too. Since I love to read. I got that love from my father and my sister they are both gone now but when I was a child and a teen we would exchange books once we finished one and we would have a little conversation about that. The love of reading really started with road trips and comic books. That was fun, and a wonderful time in my life. Now understand this, they are only suggestion. I have read them and I think that they are great!!! Like tony the tiger would have said GREAT!! Ok so on with the show!
There are two other places I want to lead you to for the books, the first one is Goodreads.com. This is a library site, or it is also known as a Social cataloging website, it is like any social media site but it is for books, it lets you or me come there and list the books we have read and ones we want to read. The site also has a very large database of books.
Groups of people go there and start friendships with others to share what books they have read and reviews of some of the books the site also has polls and some author snapshots so we can get insights on some of the new debut author. you can also buy books from them from most of the bookstores, Barners & Nobles, Audible, Indigo,Abebooks, Powells, Half.com and Google play and some libraries. they list the prices too.
I have added it to my timeline on my face book page so that I can share it with friends I have there and see who reads and it fun to find out what kind of books they like.
Now I know, I know what you are thinking what does all this have to do with the wonderful world of network marketing or sales or working online. Well, you want to brand your self and you want to build your network right and then too who is all about work. You have to have some fun. But this is a constructive play. Business people all over mix a little play with a little business right? So if we go with that concept that is what we are doing. Branding building and having fun. I see it as a win win. Smile
The other place I want to introduce you to is Actionablebooks.com. This site is for books that are for the business or the employer and or leaders who want to suggest books for their down lines or students, employee. It is all about the most popular business books and it gives you summaries of each of the books.
The site is a really nice site because they also have interviews with the best selling authors each and every month for free, the other interesting part about the site to is that they have workshops. The workshops are a premium feature however if you are interested in developing your team with the core message from some of the business books this workshop will do the trick. they say that it will increase productivity,loyalty and retention to the leader. I would say too that if you are a growing leader you could use the workshop for yourself to develop and inspire yourself.
You can also subscribe to a newsletter as well. The books are broken into categories, like self management, professional maturity,leadership and entrepreneurial thinking. You can buy the books from the site they redirect you to Barnes& Nobles, Amazon and !ndigo.
the two site are both social media connectable.
Finally because this post is on the longish side I will leave you with a positive quote, I love Quotes. Sorry, I don't know who the Quote is from so I will just share it. Tend to the roots! Smile.
