postheadericon Bloggers use for Business Books on the shelves

I recently commented on the blog of the 'Small Business CEO' regarding an open call asking what to do with old business books left on the bookshelf.

Titled

'Used Business Books - What to Do with Them?'

Here is my response:
Don't neglect the obvious!

You blog about Small Business topics. You've read a number of business books that no longer have enough to teach you to consider a re-read.

Grab a book at random once a month, pick a chapter/topic as it catches your eye, scan it for a quick topic, preferably something that you have experience with (experience that is not in the book) and put in a quick article to your blog.

You are sitting on a treasure trove of recyclable content, inspiration and rapid reference that you have mastered already.

Its always easy to find things the second time around, and I'm sure you can employ your wisdom to the books reference material in a way that your readers will benefit from even more than if they were to pick up the book from you.

Not to mention, your perspective changes. Its one thing to learn a business concept in school when you have no experience. Its very different for a person with experience to learn something from the same concept as more depth can be applied to the lesson. Your now in the position of a blog instructor so go back find the useful lessons and share them with us with a little applied wisdom!

Best Regards,
Brett
