Love business, but hate reading?

??Week 0: One Business Book A Week ??
I read 90 books a year, so you don’t have to.
Why do I read so many books?
I saw my lack of success for what it was, ignorance.
I had bumped up against the ceiling of my experiences and beliefs.
I felt dumb in a room full of other business owners.
I slowly realised there were no secrets, just stuff you don’t know.
After a decade in business, I flipped the switch.
From passive learner to lifelong learner.
Investing the time to increase my knowledge.
I began to understand that context is where the value lies.
?? I become more curious about concepts, ideas and innovations.
?? I’ve read many of the gurus out there. Tony Robbins, Russell Brunson, Gary V’D
?? ?? Often blindingly obvious information disguised as deep insights and wisdom.
Read enough and you’ll find that much of their content is “meh”
I’ve read the books that inspired the latest best sellers. (the original thought leaders)
I’ve read books that should be a paragraph, not 250 pages.
I've implemented many of the ideas in our business?Common Sense Events
I’ve got 2 years' worth of notes and key ideas gleaned from these books.

What’s the benefit: Distilled insights of a few key takeaways, compounding knowledge.
What you will learn:?Reading hack. How I read a book in 3 hours instead of 6 (no it’s not speed reading), How to connect ideas from different books and How to get what you want from a book (not necessarily what the author wants to teach)

1 年Looking forward to hearing your take-aways/distilled gems. Love those 'self help' style books where you get through the first chapter and realise the rest is padding.
