If there was only one habit that I could credit my success in business and life to … it would be reading.
...and when I say reading, I'm talking about non-fiction, personal development-focused books.
Books that make you think differently...
Books that teach you … and help you develop new skills...
Books that give you the lessons and experiences of those who are a lot further down the road ahead of you.
The knowledge, information, and perspective you can get from a single book can change the outcome of your entire fucking life...
IF you apply the lessons.
I don't consider myself any more intelligent than the next person.
In fact, I don't even consider myself smart at all...
I've just committed to reading 10 pages of a book every day for the past 20+ years.
...and if you just make the same commitment to yourself...
I promise you this...
The time you'll save...
The roadblocks you'll avoid...
The mindset you'll forge...
...and the skills you'll develop...
Will all help you build an amazing life for yourself.
But choosing not to read is no different than being illiterate.
Always remember that.
