📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

February’s not even over yet and I’ve already read the following books. BUT…

The work is not yet over.

I’ve passed my eyes across over every word on every page of these books, yes.

But it’s not until I’ve completed my note-taking process, my reflections, and, where applicable, the implementation of these books that I’ll have fully extracted all the power and wisdom that I can from them.

Indeed, with a few of these, particularly the Trevor Moawad book, I could easily read it again and come up with even deeper insights that I missed the first time around.

Here’s the list of books, with my favorites/the best with the green check mark next to them:

Not to say that the other ones were BAD - I don’t read bad books - it’s just that they weren’t the best. They weren’t TRANSFORMATIVE.

And look, not every book you read HAS to be transformative.

You don’t even have to track your reading like I do.

Hell, maybe FOR YOU it would take all the fun out of reading, making it seem like more of a homework assignment.

If that’s the case, then don’t track your reading!

Retain the mystery and the wonder.

Protect that at all costs.

I’m just sharing what’s working for me.

Oh, and I’ve almost finished #15 as well:

The Gambler, by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

It is…PHENOMENAL!

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…

Workout: Rest Day

It wasn’t SUPPOSED to be a rest day, but my gym was closed for the holiday here in Canada, and so I just did some push-ups at home. Honestly, it wasn’t much of a workout. But it was SOMETHING, and I feel better about it than I did about missing leg day last week because of the snow and then doing NOTHING.

Some Light Podcast/Client Scheduling

Another pretty good of forward progress! I have a REALLY cool podcast guest coming up soon that I’ll tell you about, and The Competitive Advantage Skool community is really heating up!

Actually, pretty sure I mentioned this yesterday, but the price will be going up 15x on March 1st, so now’s the time to join and lock in the lowest price it’ll ever be for the entire time you’re a member.

Other than that, I think you’re pretty much up to date!

Until next time…happy reading!

All the best,
