Success Programs? Make Your Car Your 'College on Wheels'

by June Hardy

is said that once most people leave school they make the decision that their learning days are over. Most of them will seldom ever read another non-fiction book, therefore missing out on one of the greatest resources for boosting their career goals.

They don't realize that reading and constantly learning will keep them mentally alert and younger, their memory will improve, they'll be more decisive, smarter and quicker - in short, constant learning is considered one of the prime success skills in keeping them at the top of their game.

By now you're probably saying "But I just don't have the time to read any books or listen to success programs!" Well, one way would be to reduce the amount of time you spend reading the newspaper or watching TV. . . or you could get up a half hour earlier each day to read undisturbed or to listen to an hour of your favorite success program and, as Brian Tracy says, "milk the golden hour".

But by far the most powerful way of finding the time to absorb further knowledge is by making your car your 'College on Wheels'.

It's estimated that we spend between 500 to 1000 hours a year driving to and from work. Most people will listen to the radio or to some music CDs. But what if you took this time to listen to success programs? Or what if you listened to CDs and programs on your subjects of interest by experts in the field? By the end of the year you could have the equivalent of 2 university semesters!

There is an abundance of material available today just waiting for you if you look for it. The internet is a magnificent source of ebooks, motivational products, success programs and video and audio sources, much of it totally free to use and just there for the taking. This would also be a great time to purchase one of the success programs or audio seminars by well known gurus. It would be an investment in your personal life and many of these can be written off as an educational expense. Nightingale-Conant is the best source for these.

Another added bonus of listening in your car is that the stress of the drive will decrease and you'll actually arrive feeling more refreshed and relaxed. Careful though, you can become addicted to this successful habit!

Also reading books about a specific subject that is of interest to you regarding your career can give you an added bonus! When you study and learn more about a particular subject or a favorite topic you give your confidence a boost. You can very quickly become an authority in the field. Do you think that this would advance your career goals? You bet it would!

Another tip is to try always to read material written by someone with hands-on experience in the field, rather than just theory. The same things goes for success programs, seminars or courses. The person who has been "through the mill" has a lot more to offer you.


So start now and stock up on some of the great success programs. It's never too late to become success-oriented!
