📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

Reading business books is dangerous.

And I’m not just talking about all the bad advice that’s out there, of which there’s plenty.

Rather, I’m talking about how, too often, reading is mistaken for action.

It feels strange for me to say that - someone who loves reading for its own sake. I don’t believe every single book you read needs to be “applied,” but when you’re reading because you want to grow your business?

Yea, that shit needs to be applied.

Can’t see how moving your eyes over the pages of a business book is going to put cold hard zeroes in your bank account.

That being said…

These 90 business books are well worth a read.

But don’t just read them.

If you want to be entertained, read a Stephen King novel or watch Netflix or something.

Read those books to blow up your revenue in 2024, and rigorously apply them in your business as you learn about new things to try and profitable strategies to implement.

Test them out on the business battlefield if you want to bring home the spoils of war.

But that’s it for today.

As always, at the bottom of this email I’ll lay out everything I did today to move closer to my Ultimate Vision. This is to keep me accountable and to show you that I’m working as hard as I’m encouraging you to work…

I credit the majority of my success and happiness in life to my consistent, unbreakable habit of reading and applying great books.

To help you gain wisdom and strength from the greatest books that have stood the test of time (and use the knowledge contained therein to shape your life according to the way you want to live it), I created the Stairway to Wisdom, my library of expert book breakdowns.

Whenever I publish a new breakdown, I always make it free for a couple of weeks, just so people can check it out and see if it’s something they want to begin receiving in their inbox regularly.

Here’s the latest book breakdown inside the Stairway to Wisdom, with links to become a member if that’s something you feel would benefit you:

Prepared to Launch My Paid Community Next Month

Today wasn’t insanely productive or anything, but I feel better because I’ve gotten on top of a few things, organized things in my head, etc.

Objectively, how much work I have waiting for me tomorrow and next week hasn’t changed, but my confidence about how prepared/capable I am of completing it has definitely improved.

So I’ll "call that a win.

I also “finished reading 2 books today,” but, that sounds better than the literal truth, which is that I finished the last 30 pages of one book, the last 20 pages of another, and 30 pages of a different book.

So I didn’t “finish 2 books today,” but I finished 2 books today. If that makes sense :)

Anyway, we’ll talk tomorrow!

Until next time…happy reading!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
