Hi all,

The domain I thinking to start a business in, is Business Process Management/Improvement. I'm currently working at a firm where I get to do some work on this matter, but I feel as I can learn at a much faster pace. Because my firm is very much into offering training to its employers, I'll try to follow as much courses as I can, and get certifications of some kind, all of that in order to have leverage when trying to attract my own customers in the future.

There is however one more way to learn about the domain of Business Processes: reading books. There's a ton of good (by review) books on Amazon, and I'm wondering whether intensively reading those would teach me a lot.

Any advice on this? Have any of you millionaires read yourself a way to your fortune? :)
