Join to my journey!
Hello guys. This is the first blog post in this website. I am so happy to convinced myself to start blogging 😄.
For the ones who doesn’t know me, I am a senior software engineering student and software developer at QNB Finansbank based on Turkey. When the pandemic hit Turkey, I started to develop my software skills on my own. I bought bunch of Udemy courses and followed some bootcamps. Some of them did not work but some of them did work and brought me at this level. To be able to release this post quickly I just published it on Medium. But currently I am coding this better and dynamic version of this website on my own using M.E.V.N. (MongoDB, Express.js, Vue.js, and Node.js) stack and I will be happy to deploy my second full-stack application which all parts coded by myself 🎉.
In 2020, I started a journey to develop myself in case of reading books about personal development, finance, human nature and business. Actually it was going very straight, informative and educative. After some bad things happened, today I want to restart a challenge to become the best version of myself!
According to the instructions of Mr. Patrick Bet-David who is one of my favorite entrepreneur, I am going to read 150+ books about human nature, money, sales, negotiation and entrepreneurship until April 10, 2025. After joining his email newsletter, I received a list which covers 52 books prepared by Mr. Patrick Bet-David himself to young and new entrepreneurs. I will start with that list to this journey and will create the other list which contains 100+ books about the topics I already mentioned and got 400 reviews and 4+ stars on Amazon.
When I check the list, I realized that I had read some of the books on that list. So, throughout this journey I will read the summaries of those books and review my notes on them again to remember the main context. Also I will publish blog posts for the reviews of those books individually. So keep in touch 😃
The books I already read from the list:
- The Art of War
- Rich Dad Poor Dad
- Ego Is The Enemy
- How to Win Friends & Influence People
- Mastery
- Meditations
- Power
- The Lean Startup
The books I am currently reading:
- Blue Ocean Strategy by W. Chan Kim & Renee Mauborgne
- The Laws of Success by Napoleon Hill
- Positioning by Al Ries
Note: I prefer to read physical books in my native language to take notes on them if they are essential for me like Blue Ocean Strategy or Napoleon Hill’s or Robert Greene books. However, if I want to read a magnificent book and it has not translated to Turkish, I read them on my iPad in English.
As of today I have completed the 15% of the challenge 🎉. When I finish a book, I will publish a review about it and also I will send a message or email to Mr. Patrick Bet-David to get his attention to meet with him.
If you want to ask something or don’t know where to start this journey on your own don’t hesitate to email me via osmannurierdogann@gmail.com. I will reach out you to solve your problem and help you to go forward together for free! Do not forget: If both of us develop ourselves together it will way more than individually.
Individual Development: 9² + 9² = 162
Collective Development: (9 + 9)² = 324
See you on another post! 👋🏻
