We’ve all heard the saying, ‘Leaders are readers,’ but what does that say about leaders who aren’t reading?

It’s no secret that a business owner should be working ON their business, not IN it. Conceptually, this makes sense, and most can recite what it means. However, when it comes to actually executing the day-to-day actions required to work on the business, many business owners still find themselves working IN it. So, what is the problem? They want to work on it, they understand it’s essential, and th...
