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:

• Same as the last few weeks: I had trouble getting started on synthesizing another book. I’ve scratched this for now. I need to come up with a better approach.

What I learned:

• This is more an acknowledgment of the obvious than something I learned. My approach to synthesizing a book I’d read and writing a blog post about it weekly didn’t work. Well, it worked only during a holiday (Thanksgiving). It doesn’t work during a normal week, and I need to figure out another way.
• Video software (e.g., Zoom) removes geographical barriers and drastically expands the potential size of book clubs. I attended a book club meeting with more than 250 attendees (I was amazed). It taught me a lot about the potential of virtual book clubs (see more here).

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