I don’t think anyone hates reading, I think most people hate what they read. 💲1 on 1 Talk + My Budget + Stock Investments💲 https://www.patreon.com/tommybryson 1. Readers or Listener - It's very easy to figure this out - If when you listen to an audiobook you can remember and understand things better then you are a listener - If when you read a book you can understand everything then you are a reader But this also Not that important sometimes: - Whether you’re are reading or listing, at some point you will lose focus, you will not walk away always capturing everything - And if you’re are not good at reading, if you keep reading and you’re are a-listers eventually you will get better at reading, just like I did - But I always recommend you start with what comes easier to you, to then work on the hard things. An ideal day for me is 1 hour of the audiobook at the gym and 2-4 hours of reading at home. ( audiobooks are hard to read when you doing nothing because it's so easy to get distracted ) Tip: don’t overthink it, and try both. 2. what books to read ( what you like and what benefits you ) – not everything that’s good for you will like though - so I would do a mix ratio of 50-50 when first starting because eventually, you will start to like what benefits you more - it's like when you start eating good, and then you feel great and you try some McDonalds and your body has a meltdown. - So when I first started I would try to read books I liked but always read a book that benefited me Step by Step: - Figure out what you like and interested in learning about - My first books self-help books to change the way the way I think and my reactions to situations - Then I focused on action books, that provide knowledge that you can go and easily apply it. Tip: it's okay to read drama, science fiction and so, but that’s the equivalent of watching a movie. So consider it entertainment. 3. how many hours ( creating a schedule ) - this depends on the type of person you are and what you do with your day Absolute beginners: - you’ll need to set three things up: where you will read, what time you will read and what date you will read - so if I say I'm going to read 10 pages in the morning at around 7am, at my house before I go to work, you will eventually build that habit - and eventually, you will want to read more than 10 pages Extreme like I was: - get audiobooks and normal books, and spend transportation time reading them, working time hearing them, and every block that you would usually waste on those books - and not every book is equal but you have to be willing to read the books you disagree with, to get a full understand of the problems - but some books are trash, and you instantly know, this is not something I want to read. 4. how much to spend ( money wise ) - you can actually overspend on books for sure - if you’ve read 10 books, but haven't tried anything or applied anything and just doing research and research - you need to stop and start applying For example: - a lot of people read about stocks, but never even start investing - when I started learning about stocks and grab some cash and tried out what I learned - now obviously I didn’t take all the money I had, I tried it out with a small amount that I could afford to lose - and today with 100 you can literally by fractional shares of any company. 5. funny stories - the way I see books, is like having the ability to live someone entire life, without having to do all the mistakes - I’ve read so many books, that I have the knowledge of men and women that centuries older than me, because some of them do obviously not hear any more - And it's also like adding files to your brain, so when a situation happens, you know what to do. * PRO TIP* INFORMATION IS EVERYTHING 👕Merch👕 https://teespring.com/stores/tommybryson ✅2 FREE AUDIOBOOKS✅ https://amzn.to/2Enayo8¬¬¬ 💰M1 FINANCE $10💰 Link: https://m1.finance/fQsrul1PZcHM 🎁ACORN FREE $5🎁 Link: https://acorns.com/invite/38EYSU ⚡FREE KINDLE UNLIMITED⚡ (traditional reading) Link: https://amzn.to/2VGbxt9 👨🏽💻DISCORD PRIVATE GROUP👨🏽💻 https://discord.gg/EcZEHpA My Camera Gear: https://www.amazon.com/shop/tommybryson ✔ Help Us Reach 300,000 Subscribers: https://goo.gl/0wvm6w 😎All My Social Media😎 Link: https://linktr.ee/tommybryson *Some of the links and other products that appear on this video are from companies in which Tommy Bryson will earn an affiliate commission or referral bonus.
