They say that one characteristic of successful people is that they read a non-fiction book a month. I was thinking that it would be neat to start doing this, plus, maybe do it as a virtual book club with readers of The Small Investor. Each month we’ll have an investing or personal finance book to read. At the end of the month, I’ll post my thoughts on the book and invite blog readers to do the same.
This month I’ve chosen The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy. The description for the book is:
“No gimmicks. No Hyperbole. No Magic Bullet. The Compound Effect is based on the principle that decisions shape your destiny. Little, everyday decisions will either take you to the life you desire or to disaster by default. Darren Hardy, publisher of Success Magazine, presents The Compound Effect, a distillation of the fundamental principles that have guided the most phenomenal achievements in business, relationships, and beyond. This easy-to-use, step-by-step operating system allows you to multiply your success, chart your progress, and achieve any desire. If you’re serious about living an extraordinary life, use the power of The Compound Effect to create the success you want.”
