The latest book I just finished was
The First Billion Is The Hardest by T Boone Pickens
I heard lads talking about it on a podcast so thought I would check it out
That’s how I like to roll with my book list as it makes me read random books of people I’ve never heard about so opens the mind a bit
Turns out Pickens was an Oil Tycoon in America who made it big
and lost it all
or most of it
and seemed to go over and back on this a few times
as he always had new ideas and wanted to take on new challenges
And of course when you do that
Sometimes you win
and sometimes you lose
^^^^^ No risk, no reward
So it’s a really interesting and easily read book in that sense and has lots of interesting stories along the way
But the 2 things I liked we’re
He put a big emphasis on working out throughout his life
ESPECIALLY
as he got older as he knew he had to get the most out of his body in order to stay sharp in business and in life
Second was that he was always looking to the next challenge and never stopped
He was still chasing down deals in his 80’s
He kept on dancing for as long as he could
Now most of us may not be bothered for that long but between the deals and the exercise
It’s a nice change to the usual whinging that
I’m old and done enough
I’m just gonna arse about from now on
From people even in their bloody 40’s
and with all going on at the minute and a new economy and new world coming soon
There will always be a chance for another comeback and another chance at it
So it will be a great chance for the people that want to roll the sleeves up and see where the opportunities lie
