If you hate reading, you’re gonna love what you see here.
If you love to read (like I do) and you’ve got 40 books laying around you have only read 1/3 of (like I do) you’re gonna love what you see here.
What Eben and Wyatt reveal here is how to take charge and ditch all the bullshit reading habits you’ve picked up over the years that have kept you in the slow reading lane.
Now let’s get this party started by answering the question of . . .
What Is Reading All About And How Do We Use It To Learn?
In the dis-educational world we’re given things called text books.
George Bernard Shaw was known for saying . . .
“I don’t want my work in text books because I don’t want to be hated.”
The dis-educational system has a hard time teaching reading because it doesn’t understand what reading is. They confuse two things – reading and pronouncing.Pronouncing is going from visual, digital external words on paper or auditory totally external – in other words reading is either out loud or reading in your head. And you’ll often see people reading to themselves mouthing the words.
If you learned to read this way, your reading ability has been limited because how fast you can read is restricted to how fast you can talk and this slows you down which is why it’s not the best way of reading.
What reading is really about is making a movie in your head about what you’re reading.
Think about if you’ve ever read a novel and how your eyes just breeze over the words and while you’re doing this, you’re using these words to breathe life into a movie you’re making in your mind and you’re essentially day-dreaming the [CLICK TO CONTINUE READING]

Internet marketing expert Eben Pagan reveals the 10 key beliefs that separate the winners from the losers when it comes to starting a business from scratch. How many of these beliefs are going to be new to you?
Hey You,

What I’m sharing with you today are the notes on Session 1: “The Right Mindset” from Eben Pagan’s course titled, “How To Build A Profitable Business Starting From Scratch”.
In this course Eben lays out strategies, tactics, and lessons that he’s learned from building the several businesses that he has that have brought in more than $100 million dollars worth of sales of products and services.
What you’re seeing here comes from him learning what didn’t work and what does so that now most of the products he launches and most of the businesses he starts, succeed over a long period of time.
It’s a well documented fact that around 80% of businesses fail in the first five years and the 80% of those that do survive fail in the next five years which means that something like 19 out of 20 businesses started, fall flat on their face before they ever see their 10th birthday and you can bet your ass that of the 1 business of every 20 that does survive, 80-95% of them are barely making it.
With Eben’s businesses succeeding in the face of statistics like this, it seems to me that it’d be a good idea to sit your ass down, drop everything else you’re doing and pay very close attention to what he’s learned about having the right mindset when it comes to building a business.

Personal improvement notes on THE single surefire way to avoid being seen as a bum in the eyes of your peers, your family and your friends
Hey You,
It’s Lewis a.k.a. Nerd #2.
I imagine you’ve heard the passage “Leaders are readers,” before and the speakers who say this usually back this statement up with data like this that I found and revealed here . . .
A study by the American Book Sellers Association said that the average business person reads .7 professional books every 5 years. No, that’s not a typo that’s .7 – there are so many people who don’t read that the national average is less than one book. Wow.
People perceive reading to be hard and they don’t do it because they don’t have to. There’s no bitch of nun beating them in school for not having the right answers and there’s no douche canoe father indirectly threatening to leave them out of the will and his good graces if they don’t graduate from the school he wants them to so they can work in the profession he wants them to.
On the flip side, the average Fortune 1,000 CEO reads six books every year.
Tim Sanders rolled this stat out to make the point that “leaders are readers” but I’m not all that impressed by this number and it doesn’t bring that point home to me.
This number speaks volumes about the 95% majority of these CEO’s who are dragging this average to the paltry number of six books by reading nothing at all while the 5% at the top are probably reading a book every week or two.
So what this stat clearly states is that you be ahead relevance wise of 95% of Fortune 1,000 if you can muster up the eye strength and will power to read one book every nine weeks. That’s not too much to ask, is it?
What I want to share with today are four key compelling reasons Dan Kennedy gave in one of his Gold Plus faxes 7 or 8 years ago that puts some some actual muscle behind the blanket statement of “leaders are readers”.
I’ll give you his reason first and then I’ll give you my take on it. Here we go . . .
