Brian Tracy Suggests Regular Reading For Success
Clint Cora Motivational Quotes Newletter
February - 2010 

One of the books I read in recent months is called Million Dollar Habits by Brian Tracy.  In this book, Brian Tracy writes;

“I have not met anyone, anywhere, throughout the world, who has not transformed their lives and their careers by the habit of daily reading.”

Brian claims that one of the regular characteristics that the most successful people in the world all share in common is that they are all avid readers.  No matter how successful they are, they continue to read on a continuous basis.  And we’ll not talking about fiction or novels either.  

The most successful people in the world including self made millionaires devour books in their chosen fields in order to keep on learning.  If you want to be extremely successful, this is something that you should definitely do as well.

I’ve decided to dedicate a certain time period pretty well each day to reading.  You can do this in the morning before the rest of your day begins, a quiet time during the day, or in the evening. I like to spend about 30 minutes reading just before I go to sleep at night.  For me, it’s the quietest time of the day, my dogs are half asleep and I’m ready to absorb a new chapter of a book.

The books I like to read tend to be business related, achieving success, motivational self-help or even personal finance related.  If I pick up even one single idea from a book, it would have been worth reading.  At 30 minutes per night, I can usually finish off a new book each week, definitely within two weeks for a long book.

Just think, if you were to read at a similar rate, you could end up reading over 50 books in your chosen fields each year.  Do you think reading 50 books or even half of that, would make you more knowledgeable?  Do you think this knowledge will help you achieve more success?  You better believe it!

Now, you might say that buying 50 books would be expensive but for the $750 to $1000 you would spend over a year, it would be one of the best continuing educational investments you can ever make.  If you buy some of these books second hand online, your cost would go down even more.  And don’t forget that many books that would be worth reading would be absolutely free if you borrow them from your local library.  Don’t underutilize the resources you have at your local libraries.

The average person reads less than one book per year.  You don’t want to be in this average category do you?  So make a trip to your local bookstore and library to browse what some interesting titles are in your chosen fields.

By the way, my book 'The Life Champion In You' is a very easy read.  You can easily finish it off within a few nights.  One gentleman attended my motivational talk on a Saturday morning and bought my book right after the presentation.  He e-mailed me that same afternoon at about 4 pm and said he read the entire book already.  That’s definitely the speed record so far.  More details about both the book and audio versions of 'The Life Champion In You' are at my website where you can also read the foreword from the book.

So as Brian Tracy strongly suggests, make sure that you include regular reading in your life to help you achieve success.  This is what the most successful people in this world do.  If you are interested in learning more about Brian Tracy books and products, click on the graphic below.
