Current Project: Reading books about entrepreneurs and sharing what I learned from them

Mission: Create a library of wisdom from notable entrepreneurs that current entrepreneurs can leverage to increase their chances of success

What I struggled with:

• I had trouble getting started on synthesizing another book this week. I need to adjust my approach somehow.

What I learned:

• Distilling a book or book chapter down to the essence of its main idea should be the goal when I’m writing posts about books. If I can get it down to a maxim, even better. Maxims are easier to remember (including for me).
• Just as my reading must be done first thing in the morning, I’m realizing that the daily habit of working on a synthesis of a book must be done early, too. Once the day gets going, who knows what’ll get thrown at me? The likelihood that I’ll get to the difficult task of synthesizing drops drastically.

That’s what I learned and struggled with last week.
