What was the last book you read recently? How much do youy read?
It is said that 88% of wealthy people read 30 minutes or more per day.
60+ books per year are read by the average CEO. /They earn an estimated 319 times the income of the average worker who read 1 book per year but finds time to watch 700 YouTube videos.
A study revealed that: "WEALTHY" PEOPLE MAKE GOOD USE OF READNG TIME
WARREN BUFFETT - 80% of his working day is reading
HOWARD SCHULTZ - Reads every morning 5 - 5:30
MARK ZUCKERBERG - 2 books/month
MARK CUBAN - 3 hours /day
OPRAH WINFREY - reads a lot every day

One of the things I've learned in life is that if I want to be successful at something I should find out what the most successful people at that do, and do that.
If I want to be successful in business and earnings, I should look at people like Warren Buffett, Howard Schultz, Mark Zuckerberg, Mark Cuban and Oprah Winfrey. What thing(s) do they ALL do that are key to their success? What is/are the common denominator(s).
WHAT do "Wealthy" people read? Studies have shown that:
- 63% listen to audio books during their commute
- 79% read educational career-related material
- 55% read for personal development
- 58% read biographiues of successful people
- 94% read current events
- 51% read about history
- Only 11% read purely for entertainment purposes
Some people might read this and think, "I'm not really motivated to become "wealthy". I just want to help as many people as I can.
To that I would ask, "Do you think you can help more people with $50,000 or $5,000,000?"
I have a friend who is very successful in business and life. He has had a goal for the last couple of years to read 100 books annually, and, he's done it. He's a serious bicyclist so many of those books he "reads" by audio books.
If you ask yourself,
- "How many books have I read so far in 2020?"
- "Do I believe that reading more will help me become more successful?"
- "How many books do I want to read between now and the end of 2020?"
I'm hoping to contribute to YOUR success in some small way!
Wishing you great success in achieving worthy goals!
