What if you could become an international expert and top earner with ONE habit for only ONE hour per day?
This one strategy changed everything for me.
I used to be a huge TV junkie. I still have a few favorites on Netflix that I turn to when I need a distraction.
But once I learned that doing this instead could make me more successful and open up tons of opportunities, I made the switch.
Before I get to that, check out these statistics:
- 25{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c} of people have not read a book in the last year
- 46{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c} of adults score in the lowest two levels of literacy
- Reading frequency declines after age eight
What’s the message?
That most people don’t read. Half of adults are basically illiterate, and 1 out of 4 adults haven’t read a book in the last year. Here’s one more: “Reading one hour per day in your chosen field will make you an international expert in 7 years.”
In other words, reading leads to expertise. And expertise leads to success.
See where I’m going? The magic formula is to be among the very few adults who actually read. It’s no secret that if you read, you will learn.
But you can do even better. What if you commit to reading at least 1 hour every day? How about 1 book per week?
According to Brian Tracy:
“If you read only one book per month, that will put you into the top 1{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c} of income earners in our society. But if you read one book per week, 50 books per year, that will make you one of the best educated, smartest, most capable and highest paid people in your field. Regular reading will transform your life completely.”
What have we learned so far?
- Most people don’t read
- If you read 1 hour per day, you can quickly become an expert
- If you read 1 book per month, you can be in the top 1{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c} of income earners
- If you read 1 book per week, you can be one of the most successful people in the world
Simple, right?
You: “Great idea. But…I have no time to read one book every week!”
Ah, there’s that problem. The whole “not enough time” thing. I’ve found that if I know why I want to do X instead of Y, it makes X more important, which motivates me to do it.
Try this. Write down a list of 10 things you do every day that take up at least 30 minutes. For example:
- Watching TV — 3 hours
- Browsing the web — 1 hour
- Using social media – 1 hour
- Playing video games (or game apps) — 2 hours
- Driving to get lunch or coffee (instead of making your own) — 1 hour
You’ll be surprised to discover that you probably have 3-6 hours of things you could easily do less of.
Then, imagine yourself 6 months from now as an expert in your field. Idle conversation won’t get you there. Watching TV won’t get you there.
But reading will get you there.
Successful German film director Werner Herzog said, “Those who read own the world, and those who watch television lose it.”
Now that you know that reading (X) is more valuable to you than your chosen time-waster (Y), take these steps TODAY to start reading more:
- Identify 1 hour every day where you can eliminate or reduce one of your time-wasting activities
- Create a daily “Read for 1 hour” calendar reminder that blocks off that hour
- Go to your bookshelf and find 4 books to start reading (or buy physical or ebooks online)
- Stack the books next to your favorite reading spot to make it really hard to ignore
- Move all of your digital devices AWAY from your reading spot
- Read every day for an hour
- BONUS STEP: Put a pen and notebook (waiter’s pad or Moleskine) on the stack of books so you can write down the hundreds of ideas you’ll get from reading
You: “OK, but what should I read?”
In his book The Choose Yourself Guide to Wealth, James Altucher (one of the most successful people out there) shares his daily reading formula. It’s a great place to start. Every day, read:
- 10{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c} of a nonfiction book to get ideas
- 10{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c} of an inspirational book
- 10{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c} of a high-quality fiction book
- BONUS: Read a game-related book (or play a mental game like chess)
This should take you about an hour (or two if you’re feeling ambitious). If you do the math, that’s 30{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c} of a book every day, or 1-2 books per week.
As for the specific books, here are some ideas:
- Google the “favorite books” of your favorite successful people
- Ask people you admire what they read
- Follow your interests
- I put together a list of resources if you want some more ideas
As Thomas Corley puts it in Rich Habits: “Successful people are slaves to their good daily habits.”
Become a slave to your new reading habit. Then you’ll be smarter. That will make you an expert. Which leads to success.

Erin shows overscheduled, overwhelmed women how to do less so that they can achieve more. Traditional productivity books—written by men—barely touch the tangle of cultural pressures that women feel when facing down a to-do list. How to Get Sh*t Done will teach you how to zero in on the three areas of your life where you want to excel, and then it will show you how to off-load, outsource, or just stop giving a damn about the rest.
Manuel Rodríguez (.) ha afirmado que es la primera huelga general convocada por todos los sindicatos de la mesa sectorial en la historia de la Comunidad de Madrid. La convocatoria de huelga coincide con la de la Asociación de Facultativos Especialistas de Madrid (Afem), cuya asamblea votó la semana pasada a favor de un paro indefinido a partir del 2 de noviembre, de lunes a jueves. CSIT extiende así la convocatoria de huelga para finales de noviembre lanzada el pasado miércoles por los médicos de Madrid , representados en la Asociación de Facultativos Especialistas de Madrid ( Afem ). No se puede amar a España ( a Catalunya) sin estar dedicado al bienestar de la población que constituye tal país (España y/ Catalunya).

Siguiendo, por el pésimo servicio en SONY en Texas, de donde devolvieron equipo con Microsoft Office 2010 que no puedo utilizar y los CD’s de instalación llegaron embarrados con un pegamento poderosísimo, similar al que usan los zapateros, el que no permitirá el uso de los CD’s en otra oportunidad. Además, el mismo pegamento ha borrado unas cuantas letras del código (llave) de producto, que se requiere para completar la instalación de Microsoft Office. He iniciado el trámite por web pero no me informan de nada más en el proceso así que no se que pasa. Plataforma Proveedores : Achilles – Repro, Achilles – Protrans y Achilles – Regic.
