Do you have a 2011 personal branding reading plan that lists the books you intend to read each month?
A 2011 reading plan will increase the likelihood you will read the personal brand building books you intend to–and should read–this year.
Your reading plan should include the titles you intend to read and the specific months when you’re going to read each title.
Simply taking the time to create a list of personal branding books during each month increases the likelihood you’ll follow-through on your intention, and provides an easy to to track your progress.
The idea came to me in an e-mail sent to me by Joel Whitaker, who publishes the Newsletter on Newsletters for subscription newsletter publishers.
Joel’s e-mail contained a link to the Booking It in 2011 Life as Mom blog post that containing the 2011 reading list and a link to a free, no registration required, downloadable PDF describing the program.
Lessons from the Booking It in 2011 blog post
The original blog post is very detailed, but some of the the highlights I gained from it include:
- Two tracks. One track provides recommended books for each month, the other track allows you to determine the titles you’re going to read each month.
- Lessons from the recommended titles. Pay particular to the recommended book titles when you visit the Life as Mom Booking It blog post. Analyze each title from the point of view of benefit, target marketing, and brand building.
- Community building and accountability. If you download the Booking It in 2011 PDF, pay attention to the quality of writing and graphic design, as well as the way the PDF helps users translate intention to read into monthly reading successes.
