MP3 Players and Audio Books
I work full-time as a part owner and manager of a thriving promotional product business plus I have six children. I probably don’t need to express how busy I am, but I am going to anyway! I AM CRAZY BUSY!!!!
Although I continue to be busy, I am now finding time to read. How am I finding the time? I found audio books from Audible.com and a MP3 player; my preferred MP3 player brand is Creative various models of Zen . I listen to the audio books while I do the dishes, and other household chores, or when I exercise. I love learning so I enjoy hearing and thinking about new ideas while I listen to audio books.
Besides enjoying hearing new stories and ideas, I realize that continually educating myself about the latest technology and breakthroughs will give me an edge over my equal counterparts and competitors in the business sector. So I strive to choose at least one audio book per month that is about the latest technology and market trends.
One more perk from listening to audio books is that my ability to converse with others has improved since I always have new thoughts in my recent memory bank to share and express with others.

Great post! I too use audible for self-improvement books, business books, and novels; but it seems the internet world moves too fast for audio books to keep up.
I’ve found it necessary to spend about 30-45 minutes per day reading a few select newsletters and blogs. Marketing VOX is my main source. It keeps me fresh and up to date on what is happening in the internet world.
