BRX Pro Tip: Read More
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, as we look at our business, there’s all kinds of things we should probably be doing less of, some things we should be doing more of, but one thing for certain, we should read more.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:17] Yeah. In every study of successful people, reading is a common denominator. Reading is one of the most efficient ways to learn things. You can get so much information. A book cost around $10 right now, and you can learn from the smartest and most innovative people out there or even that have ever lived for that amount of money. So, you almost always learn something. And even if you just learn one thing, and it’s $10, you’re still getting a great value.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:47] And a lot of people don’t have mentors. I like to look at reading an author you like as they’re mentoring you. So, it’s kind of like having a virtual mentor that’s always available for you whenever you need them. So, I am a big proponent of reading. It’s something I do all the time. I try to read probably between 30 and 50 books a year. And I really want to learn more constantly, and I want to be able to take a nugget here, and then match it up with another nugget somewhere else, and kind of mesh them together, and so that it’s pertinent to me.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:23] So, the more you read, the happier you’re going to be, and the healthier you’re going to be if you’re reading that stuff, and definitely the wealthier you’ll be if you’re reading stuff along those lines. And don’t neglect the classics. They’re classics for a reason. Go back into the classics and rediscover some of them, even if you’ve read them before. Reading books are a lot more productive than reading your social media. So, I would spend more time on books and less on your social media.
