12. Keep Yourself Updated
One mantra you must follow to reach a lofty goal is to “learn while you earn.” Read everything you come across. After all, you’ll want to gain as much knowledge as possible in your chosen area of specialization.
You should read business books, self-help books, and inspirational volumes. Becoming a tycoon or magnate calls for making sacrifices on a persistent basis. You’ll have to resist your urge to dine out or vacationing once in a while. Devote your spare time reading books by businesspeople, motivational gurus, and captains of industry.

You’ll need to do everything humanly possible to become an expert in your domain so that you’re thoroughly aware of what you’re doing. It’s true that the more you read, the greater your chances of succeeding are. Of course, you don’t have to register with a college or university to develop and honor your academic skills.
You can enroll in an online program, place an online order for books to read, show up at conferences and symposiums addressed by industry stalwarts, and listen to podcasts.
