Use Many Sources

In addition to reading every day for at least 30 minutes, I would advise you to get your news and information from a variety of sources. I think that the Wall Street Journal continues to be an excellent source for business information. Your local newspaper is certainly something that has useful informaton for you.

Mix up your TV news sources. Don't allow yourself to only watch what you agree with. Again for business news, CNBC has very useful programming.

The main point is that we cannot allow ourself to have a narrow prospective. When gathering information, consider the big picture implications. Think long term.

I also advise you to have trusted discussion partners. You should have several people in your life with whom you can exchange ideas. Sometimes, hearing yourself express your opinion helps you to understand your own perspective and the reasons behind it.

Use many sources for your continuous education. You will be wiser for it.
