I have always been passionate about books and also about the personal and professional growth of women. I remember that my first experiences with reading as a child were thanks to my mother belonging to the Círculo de Lectores. I liked to look forward to the “book lord” and find out what he had in store for me. Physical books were and still are something that I love. Today I want to share with you my firm belief that reading is a powerful tool that can transform our lives, especially in the path of digital entrepreneurship. Throughout my career as an entrepreneur, I have discovered that reading has been an inexhaustible source of knowledge, inspiration, and motivation. It has allowed me to expand my horizons, develop new skills, overcome challenge,s and achieve my goals. It has also given me my own opinion on what surrounds me.
Why do I think women should always read?
The reasons are multiple and cover different aspects of our lives
1. Personal growth
Reading exposes us to new ideas, perspectives, and experiences that help us grow as individuals. It allows us to reflect on oun values, beliefs, and goals and gives us tools to improve our self-esteem, confidence, and resilience. As I told you before, it allows us to form our oriteria.
2. Professional development
In the world of digital entrepreneurship, constant knowledge updating is essential.
Reading allows us to stay on top of the latest trends, learn from the experiences of other entrepreneurs, and acquire the skills necessary to navigate the complex digital ecosystem.
3. Mental stimulation
Reading exercises our brain,and improves memory, concentration, and analytical skills. It helps us think critically, creatively,y and strategically, essential skills for success in any area of life. I have seen firsthand how people who have had some difficulties with their retention have improved because they decided to read more.
4. Language Enrichment
Reading exposes us to a rich and diverse vocabulary, which allows us to communicate more effectively, both in personal and professional settings. Who hasn’t experienced speaking better because they discovered new words while reading?
5. Connect with other women
Reading can open doors to a community of women and others with similar interests, where we can share experiences, support each other, and learn from each other.
Now, how can we take advantage of the benefits of reading?
We can all take full advantage of the benefits of reading, so I recommend following these tips
1. Define your goals
What do you want to achieve by reading? Do you want to learn about a specific topic, develop a new skill, or simply enjoy a good story? Having clear goals will help you choose books that are right for you.
2. Choose books you are passionate about
Don’t force yourself to read books you are not interested in. Reading should be a pleasurable experience, not an obligation. Look for books that spark your curiosity and make you feel excited. You will devour the books you choose.
3. Make time for reading
Set aside a specific time to read, even if it’s just 15 or 30 minutes a day. Consistency is key to developing a reading habit. Another way is to read a fixed number of pages, it doesn’t matter how the important thing is that you read daily.
4. Create a suitable environment
Find a quiet and comfortable place where you can concentrate on reading. Turn off your phone and avoid distractions. I like to read at night before going to sleep to regulate the day. It works very well for me to advance in reading and, above all, to sleep happily.
5. Join a book club
Joining a book club can be a great way to get motivated to read, meet other women with similar interests, and share your thoughts on books. Remember that we have one created especially for you!
