A Single Habit
That Will Put You In The Top 1% Of Experts and Income Earners
Bruce Harpham
Ideas, knowledge, skills, inspiration, and more are
available to you through the magic of reading.
More than any other single
habit, reading gives you the power to learn and grow.
I have used my reading skills to learn computer skills
(WordPress, website design, Excel),
history, and finance. To continue my growth, I have set
annual goals to read
a certain number of books. I’ve already exceeded my 2015 goal to read 30
books.
My goodness as a Turbo Charged Reader that is a very small goal for the busiest person!
There are an abundance of benefits that
entrepreneurs, authors, CEOs,
and other successful people receive from reading. All
reading is helpful in keeping your mind sharp.
However, reading literature related to your goals
will help you be more efficient in reaching those goals.
If your goal is to improve your income, focus your reading
on books that relate to your career.
Do You Want To
Learn How To Manage Your Money?
As one of the most successful investors of all time,
Warren Buffet’s success habits
deserve to be studied. His daily routine includes reading
several newspapers, business reports,
and books. As Buffet has explained in interviews, reading
Benjamin Graham’s
The Intelligent Investor gave him the foundation for his
investment model.
Do You Want To
Grow Your Business With New Opportunities?
Before he became known for his charity work,
Bill Gates co-founded one of the most successful
technology companies of all time.
Reading and learning new ideas is one of the secrets of
his success.
Luckily, we can now read Bill Gates’ reading list on his website.
Recent book recommendations include Capital in the Twenty-First
Century by Thomas
Piketty
and How Asia Works by Joe Studwell.
Reading is a great way to learn about new countries and
markets.
Do You Want To
Gain Lessons and Encouragement
From Great Women and Men of the Past?
Author and marketing expert Ryan Holiday recommends reading
biographies.
On his recommendation, I read Titan: The Life of John D.
Rockefeller, Sr. by Ron
Chernow in 2014
and it was outstanding. As Holiday points out,
biographies teach us how real people
have overcome significant problems. If you have ever felt
alone in a challenge,
there is probably a biography that has answers (and
inspiration) to help
get you through the problem.

Do You Want
To Get Started With Reading Every Single Day?
Getting started with a new reading habit is daunting for
some people.
If that describes you, then start small. Commit to
reading one page in the morning from a book
while you eat breakfast. You can gradually increase it as
you start to read more.
As a general rule, I read from a book for 25 minutes each
morning —
it is a great way to start your day with new ideas
and inspiration.
If you prefer to read in the evening, you may want to
read fiction so that you can better relax.
Are You Bored
During Your Commute? Use Audiobooks!
Did you know that Audible.com has more than 100,000 audio books
available for download?
It is a great way to add books to your daily routine. For
example, you can listen to books
during your exercise routine. You can also enjoy
audiobooks during your commute
to and from work. The average
commuting time in the US is 25
minutes —
that’s nearly an hour of audiobook-listening time you can
use each day!
Turbo Charged Readers listen to audio books in a
profitable way. J
Do You Want To Get
Paid Like An Expert By Reading?
In our economy, experts with specialized knowledge tend
to be the most highly paid.
For example, specialized
doctors tend to earn more money
than non-specialist doctors
(e.g. in 2011, specialized surgeons in the U.S. earned
close to $500,000 per year,
more than double what generalists earn).
How can you apply
this concept to grow your income through reading?
Spend one hour every day of the year reading to advance
your knowledge.
To speed the process along, consider starting a focused
program of study.
For example, you may want to focus your reading on
earning a credential
such as the Project
Management Professional certification.
Alternately, you may also decide to read the best books
in a given field
(e.g. the Personal MBA’s 99 best business books).
If you keep up your learning over several years, you will
become an expert in your field.
