ONE BOOK Will Put You Ahead of 99% of People

YOUTUBE  📚 THE READING LIFE  📚  PATREON

📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

I posted a video on Instagram today that’s been getting a lot of traction.

The idea behind it was very simple, and it’s something I see that presents both a threat and an opportunity.

A threat to society, but an opportunity for you.

It’s simply this:

Even reading just ONE BOOK will put you ahead of 99% of people.

Look, most people don't read at all.

Something like 64% of Americans read ONE book last year, including romance novels, thrillers, etc.

Which, don't get me wrong, is still reading. And if that's what YOU like to read, you'll get NO judgement from me whatsoever!

I will never, ever look down on someone because of what they choose to read or not read.

But if you're looking to make big moves FORWARD in life, the bar is extremely low for people who are actively trying to do that.

So even if you just read 1 book, you're automatically going to be better off than most people.

ESPECIALLY if you take what you learned in that book and actually USE IT to make your life better!

Reading GIVES YOU that option.

It helps you take control of your current circumstances and rise above.

Now, if you want to get really, REALLY far ahead of most people, you'll build a DEDICATED reading habit.

You'll make reading a part of your life.

This book is an excellent one to start with, by the way.

It was the 1,286th book I’ve ever read since I started counting 2014 and I really enjoyed it. Hope you like it too!

I was awfully tired today for some reason, sluggish. Like a slug haha. But I still made some decent progress. I even came up with a sweet idea!

The idea that I’m going to organize is getting some authors together who are willing to give away free copies of digital versions of their books to people who subscribe to my newsletter(s). I think that could work out great!

Possibly as a referral program bonus. Like, refer 10 people to the newsletter and get these 10 free books. That could really work.

When I wake up, I’m going to be scripting/recording YouTube videos and landing page videos for my various sites. I need a VSL for my Skool community, some videos to go into my Welcome sequence for my newsletter - things like that.

I’m also going to be doing some post/content research and getting a start on my posts and videos for next week. Lots of cool stuff planned.

But hey, it’s 3:14AM here right now and I’m going to bed!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
