Other Written Resources
Magazines, newspapers, journals, and any other written resources provide all kinds of information which can help solve business or technical problems. They also provide inspiration and ideas about better ways to do things.
A simple walk into a bookshop or library is a way to learn more about a current problem or way to achieve a new goal. Looking through magazines and newspapers will also give people all kinds of ideas and inspiration which help to look at problems from a different perspective.
Academic libraries are another great place to get more information but are only available to paying students. Journals and academic thesis provide some of the most innovative and contemporary solutions to problems. However, they are only one piece in the puzzle because their ideas need to be put into practice.
All kinds of other written resources can help individuals in business. Perhaps an individual lacks motivation or is looking at a problem from a negative perspective and what is needed goes beyond business. Some entrepreneurs rely on the inspiration provided through poetry, jokes, riddles, and philosophy. This may not be from a book but any written resource.
