Time 2 Read - A Free 14-Day Email Course (original) (raw)
Nope, it's not their shoe size.
They read. At least two books a month.
They're also among the top 10 richest people in the world. All four of them.
And they're not alone in their love for books. With 1,200 other millionaires, who quote reading as a core part of their self-education,1http://www.businessinsider.com/rich-people-like-to-read-2015-8?IR=T Bill, Warren, Jeff and Mark are in good company.
In fact, 85% of those with a liquid net worth of $3.2 million-plus read two or more education, career-related, or self-improvement books per month.2http://www.businessinsider.com/rich-people-read-self-improvement-books-2014-6?IR=T
But you knew that already. Just like you knew that reading books makes your life better. It's not even all about money, fame and success. It's about becoming a more knowledgeable (and more valuable) person.
Additionally, reading helps you prevent stress and keep dementia and depression at bay, all while enhancing your confidence, improving your decision-making, increasing your empathy and overall satisfaction with life.3http://www.fastcompany.com/3048913/how-to-be-a-success-at-everything/how-changing-your-reading-habits-can-transform-your-health
That's why I've created Time 2 Read. It's a free, 10-day email course, specifically designed to help you take time back, start building a daily reading habit and turn wanting to read into actual reading.
You know all the benefits of reading, so...
...why don't you read two books a month already?
What's stopping you from reading more books?
Here's what happened when I asked over 150 people that last question:
Time.
“I don’t have time to read.”
Have you uttered those 6 future-crushing words before?
I have. Which is why I believe you tell the truth when you say it.
You say it because...
- you have an incredibly demanding college degree to study for…
- or because your loved ones are sitting at home, counting on you to put food on the table…
- or because every day at work, you give it everything you’ve got…
…and that just leaves you with no time to open a book.
I get it. I’ve been there.
But let's imagine an alternative reality for a second. What would your life look like if you read just two books every month?
Can you imagine it?
- Would you finally have what it takes to start that business?
- Be a better parent?
- Feel more fulfilled?
