If you want to be more successful in life, you should greatly reduce your TV consumption and spend much more time adding knowledge and experience.
When you spend your time on training instead of wasting precious time, you will automatically begin to change your habits.
If you want more success, you should find educational books and blog articles on topics that can help you in your business.
If you want to get ahead of your competitors, you must admit to yourself that there are things you do not know.
WHAT SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE DO
The "empty holes" in your brain must be filled with knowledge and there is only one who can handle the task - and that is yourself!
Most people throw themselves on the couch when they have dinner and half-sucked in front of their TV. They do not seize the opportunity to gain new knowledge that can provide them with important information that can help give them more success.
It requires dedication and strong will to say no thanks to entertainment and yes thank you to education. Successful people continually acquire new knowledge that makes them wiser. They spend the necessary time to gain wisdom and more experience.
Some of the most successful people read more than you can imagine.
Bill Gates (worth $101 billion) reads nearly a book a week.
Warren Buffet (worth $88 billion) apparently reads hundreds of pages every day.
Mark Cuban (worth $4 billion) spend three hours a day reading.
Mark Zuckerberg (worth $69 billion) reads a book every two weeks.
Successful people rarely spend their precious time looking at watching Netflix or playing video games all night.
The extraordinary businessmen devote time to investing in themselves.
If you want more success, you should do the same!
It is actually quite simple. Get better at saying no thanks to "time robbers". If your gut feeling says you could spend the time for something more sensible, you should say NO!
Even if you can get some acidic reactions. Read books and blogs that give you tips, tricks and new angles on developing your business.
Join in MLM conferences, MLM seminars and generally in meetings that give you some kind of development. If you are physically too far away to participate in a conference, you can instead seek out webinars and search for more mentors who can help give you the necessary knowledge.
The reason you are set to live on this planet is not to relax in the couch when you have the chance. Your goal should be to find something that adds value to others.
When you make yourself smarter and share your knowledge, you can influence much more than you know.
While reading, you also improve your ability to communicate. As you read, you improve your vocabulary and you become better at formulating yourself.
You have a better opportunity to start conversations that are not only superficial but can also become more profound than indifferent conversations about the weather that we all know.
It also doesn't matter that you learn a few fancy words along the way that can spice up your sentences a bit.
4 GOOD REASONS TO READ BOOKS
1. Your conversation skills will improve when you read
When you read books and blogs on topics that you can use in your business, you will automatically gain a larger vocabulary.
You will learn new words and terms that you have not used in your conversations before. You get much more talk to talk to other people you may never have wanted to talk to before. Maybe because they made you feel like you were an ignorant schoolboy again.
With a better vocabulary and more knowledge, you are better off talking to all types of people. And after all, it is quite important if you work with Network Marketing.
2. You get new ideas when you read
When you read books, your brain will unknowingly give you new ideas and solve problems you may have struggled with. When you read, you get new impulses that can help you get ideas that develop your business.
The new information you acquire will kick off your analytical skills and you will get new energy.
The book that has given me the most inspiration and new ideas is the book Attraction Marketing Formula by Ferny Ceballos. This is the book you should read if you want to work seriously with Attraction Marketing.
3. Reading is good brain gymnastics
When you exercise in the local gym or go for a walk, you exercise your body.
The same goes for the brain when you read.
When you read a book that gives you new ideas, your brain will begin to work better and give you solutions to problems faster.
4. You will be inspired when you read
In a modern age where everything is online and goes super strong it makes sense to seek immersion in a good and educational book.
Our attention jumps from media to media in 30 seconds and we don't let the brain calm down for contemplation.
A book "forces" you to stay focused, which is also extremely important when building your MLM business. You accustom your brain to keeping focus for a long time when you read and your brain becomes deeply concentrated.
When you read about ideas and workflows that you had not thought of before, you will be more inspired. You will find that you think much more focused on what you need to do to succeed with your MLM business.
As you probably can understand I strongly recommend that you immediately find a book and start reading. Even 10 minutes a day can make a difference to your business and your motivation.
A little is better than nothing!
DO YOU NEED INSPIRATION TO FIND THE RIGHT BOOK?
If you have any doubts about where to start, I recommend that you search on Amazon, which has an excellent selection for Network Marketers.
If you do not spend time searching for books, I have made a small book list of books you should read if you work with Network Marketing.
Should you want to invest in one of the books you can find them further down the page.
