How is this even possible? Have you ever tried this?? Well I started a
youtube channel from april 2019 and started to consume more books than I can. I have read around like 200 books so far. It has given me positivity and I started to see things in a different perspective. Always books are your best friends, no matter how much degrees you get or how much rich you are or now matter how busy you are, definitely reading one book per week or per month increases the level of positivity/hope in our lives.
There are 1000s of titles in business. But do you think you are going to be the best business man out there? Yes and a No. We can't predict the future, we can just only create it. We can create it using our hard work. I love the Seth Godin advice on this, he has a program called "AltMBA" which are lessons for the future and more practical than having a MBA degree. We need practical experience which makes us proud and happier than crediting money in our bank accounts month after month.
Do something meaningful !
College degree isn't enough and we spend 4 years of college study ( minimum) to become an expert but once when we get a job, you have stopped reading books. You have turned allergic to books and want to sell your old stuff on amazon. If you don't even read 4 hrs each day, then you are making your skills invaluable. you would probably wake up one day after 10 years and remember nothing, this happens to make people these days.
college isn't enough and you will scale up your skill but reading books. Start with one book a month and slowly read up to 3 books a week. Seth Godin mentioned about reading 1000 books in one year. Bill gates takes think week , which is a time where he keeps on reading more books and goes "Do not Disturb" mode unless it's an emergency. only books and no other thoughts, he stays away from electronic gadgets and it's old school style.
create an un-stoppable reading habit. Keep doing, choose the genre of the books that you want to read. Some people would love to read science fiction while others want to read on technology. Initial days you can try what ever you want to read but when the time progresses you will have to stay focused on your niche. You can't be a master of all trades that doesn't work that way. Minimalism is the future and you should have known this by now. The logic behind minimalism is trying something new and making others follow you. Being the best and first person to try it, being proud to recommend the system to others as well. You are creating a new trend and much ahead of the crowd. Sometime it works and sometimes it fails too badly.
How and what should you do now?
You should start setting a challenge of reading 100 books in one year. How can it be achieved? there are many lectures for you and it's a lengthy post. But if you have time and want to take up a course, then try this one -
become a reading machine and read 300 books
It's a course and helps you to connect with the reading easily. All you have to do is signup for the course and dedicate 30 minutes each day for the course. There are some books that you must want to read from cover to cover, while some other books from time to time. Some books are one time read and it's not a speed reading course.
