Get Your Education

In an effort to pursue part three of the success formula, I've done a little research to seek out educational pursuits.  I discovered Edx several years ago when they started offering free classes based on technology.  I knew they were really beefing up their course curriculum so I decided I'd check them out again, and POW!  They now offer a plethera of business classes, and I found one I was really interested in, CTL.SC1X SUPPLY CHAIN AND LOGISTICS FUNDAMENTALS.  They offer three courses in Logistics Management, so I have enrolled to deepen my understanding of Logistics.  Getting an education will of course give you greater knowledge and prepare you for a successful career.  With this behind my belt I hope to use it to apply for an ops manager position, and eventually a GM position in logistics, and much further from there.  If you're interested in seeking a career in logistics I'd give EdX a try.  Also, check out these books:

• Inventory Management and Production Planning and Scheduling
• Business Logistics: Supply Chain Management
• Matching Supply with Demand: An Introduction to Operations Management
• Supply Chain Management (3rd Edition)
• Logistics Systems Analysis
• Production and Operations Analysis, Seventh Edition

I look forward to this class, and will keep you updated with how it is going.
