Napoleon Hill wrote one of the best books ever for Entrepreneurs and the like.
And the thing I love about Think and Grow rich is that most of the book is actually about thinking… not about money or some kind of get rich scheme.
For me, reading is a real joy. It was something I used to find a chore… and not enjoy at all.
But now I could literally spend the day reading.
I LOVE books.
But there’s a problem… and that problem is information overload.
Because we have digital book stores like Kindle, Apple Books and Google Play books, it’s easier than ever to download a book in seconds.
I remember when I first got made redundant from my bank job, I went into anxiety mode.
I thought I had to read every marketing book on the planet.
I thought I needed to know every type of copywriting.
I thought I needed to become a Facebook Ads expert.
But, none of that is true. And as the old saying goes… “Less is more”.
This is something I really learnt from Ben Settle (I’ve learnt a lot from him).
Ben taught me that in order for something to really become knowledge - and become deeply ingrained in your subconscious mind, you need the power of ten.
The power of ten basically means, reading the book 10 times, or listening to the audiobook 10 times.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat this… reading a book 10 times takes real effort.
I mean, I LOVE the Compound Effect by Darren Hardy. It’s one of my all time favs - but reading it 10 times really scared me.
But, here’s what I’ve found..
Your brain pulls more relevant information from the book by reading it 10 times. Like working out in the gym, training your brain has some real advantages.
I’ve actually started reading a book by Jim Kwik at the moment - Jim is the leading expert on brain fitness.
Jim is a real advocate for not overloading our brain with too much information and keeping free of distraction.
He talks about having time to do nothing but reflect, think... and make sound choices.
Personally, I think this is so important.
By focusing on one thing at a time, you gain so much clarity.
Your thoughts are not muddled.
You do better work.
And you often make more money.
I strongly suggest you check out Jim’s Book - read it ten times and apply Jim’s methods for improved focused, memory and digital decluttering.
