Your NAFCU Weekend Reading Pile

Written by Anthony Demangone, Powered by NAFCU

Happy Friday, my friend.

Have I told you that I love Steve Martin? Comedian. Actor. (Only Murders in the Building? Come on!) Musician. He has the mythical touch of gold.

Someone asked him what the secret to his success was. He hesitated a moment, and then laid out this gem.

Martin

No short cuts. Simply hard work and consistency.

Now, on to the reading pile!

  • 8 recruiting and retention stories that work. (LeadWithAStory)
  • What to count. (Godin)
  • FI’s digital transformation is too slow for consumers. (FB)
  • Don’t make these marketing mistakes. (Entrepreneur) Really liked this one.

NAFCU
