I Read 7 Books Last Month (6 of Them Will Make You Rich)

YOUTUBE 📚 THE READING LIFE 📚 PATREON

📚 Hey! Time to win.

I finished 7 books last month (including my 1,300th book!) and here they are.

It was actually kind of a weird reading month in that although I DID finish 7 books, it felt like I hardly spent any time reading.

Maybe something to do with the fact that I listened to two of them, one was a non-fiction book that FELT like a novel (meaning I ripped through it almost without stopping), and the others were pretty short!

Two of them were less than a hundred pages, but ALL of them can make you RICH. The last one - Robin Sharma’s book - covers 8 different FORMS of wealth, though, and a well-lived life includes all of them.

As success-oriented as I am, it can’t ALL be about the money.

Money’s a tool for living, it helps you create OPTIONALITY - it should never be the goal itself.

But here’s my latest reading recap on YouTube and I hope you find some excellent new books in there!

There are still 12 spots remaining inside The Competitive Advantage community and you can grab one of the last remaining ones here.

Today was great! I felt pressed for time towards the end, but that had a lot to do with foolishly sleeping in until about 2PM. I guess I needed it!

That said, I had a wonderful time recording a podcast episode earlier in the afternoon - the host really impressed me with his preparedness and passion. It was a lot of fun! I’ll let you guys know when the episode goes live.

But hey, it’s 6:23AM here right now and I’m going to bed!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
