It can’t be stressed enough that reading is very important if you want to progress in life. Leaders are readers… and readers are leaders. If you are in business or an entrepreneur who want to improve, you should read self-development and business books.
I started my mindset and self-development journey in January 2013 after an Internet Marketer and mentor inspired me to do so. I was not a reader, and reading a book used to take me lots of time, if I ever finished it.
In the past, I mostly read novels and books on specific topics that I wanted some knowledge from. My reading frequency was a book per year. Does that sound familiar?
After checking out my personal digital library today, I was surprised to see that I have read 24 books, with a couple of books I read twice. This means that in one year and a half I have read 26 books. That’s certainly a record for me.
What I did is read almost everyday for 30 minutes first time in the morning, before starting any work while having coffee. I am a slow reader and there is certainly room for improvement…

What I can tell you about this experience is that I now love reading and I can’t wait to start the next book. I have achieved quite a few things during that time thanks to my improved thinking and new acquired knowledge. I also realize now that I can see things more clearly for my business.
The books I have are all digital and I can read them on the Kindle, the iPad or my Mac. The advantage is that they are cheaper than the hard copy and I get them immediately. This also helped me to get me into the habit of reading.
This is the book I am reading now, it’s a great book.
