Here’s why I started reading one of the best books ever written (by D. Carnegie)
Started out when I came back from my first business trip. Quick recap coming…
I’m from Colombia and my elder brother and I moved up to the Northern coast of Colombia to the tourist city of Cartagena. Here, we lived 1 month and worked as peddlers, selling caps throughout the bays of Cartagena.
From this incredible experience I learned a lot and not only by doing this but also talking to people.
The major result from that trip was my hunger of self-improvment. I started to look forward for anyway to accelerate my exponencial growth. I was 20 year old.
Among the things and the habits been developed at that age I began reading books. I read a few and practiced all that beautiful knowledge but got stuck in life during “The Lost Years” (future blog that I want to write).
So I never really ended to read the book from D. Carnegie titled: “How to win friends and influence people”.
Three years passed by… and I’m starting over. Developing a new career as web developer and once again pushing myself to an exponencial growth.
Here’s the why
Now that I’m creating my own business as a freelancer web developer. I’m facing this… not full developed skill that is negotiation and soft skills (talking to people the excellent way) that are so much crucial for your self-employed jobs and entrepreneur life.
And that brings me to the second point. The blog series that I talked about.
This Blogs Series is about…
Chapters summaries. You will get a quick summary of the chapter itself, sentences that stood up to me while reading it and an example from my personal life where I can illustrate the main topic of the chapter.
This means that I won’t keep reading unless I completely absorbed the concept that Carnegie talks about.
It will take longer to read it but I hope that you can stay tuned for future blogs about this book and found helpful advice from it.
That’s it for now, written with love by @jor1mo
