Two new books worth of highlights for you this week! Zig, an autobiography By Zig Ziglar and Man's Search For Meaning By Viktor Frankl. This particular copy of Zig is pretty special. I'll tell you why. Two quick stories for you about books, success and the millionaires club. Story 1: When my wife's grandparents passed and the belongings to the house were sorted through, we all had the chance to look through the book collection of her grandfather. He was a very successful guy that built an incredible financial adviser business, owned multiple properties, invested in other businesses and took care of his family very well. I shouldn't have been surprised, but his bookshelf was COVERED with biographies, books on business, books on leadership and history. Some of which were the same that I have in my own library. I couldn't believe it. This copy of Zig Ziglar's autobiography came from that shelf. The point: Readers are leaders. The ROI to reading books of this kind is almost too big to quantify. Even 10 pages a day will change your life more than you could ever imagine. But you already know that, that's why you're here ;) Story 2: I just had my oldest kindergarten back to school night and one of the biggest messages of the night was how important it is to read to them. Who knew right 😉 To support that message, they run a challenge with the kids every year called the Millionaires Club reading challenge. As your child completes a book, they mark them off and acquire points. SUPER cool. But what I love most this is the name. Associating reading with success is HUGE. Reading is cool and amazing things come from having a love of books. While reading is not necessarily a direct CAUSE of becoming a millionaire, I believe there is a correlation. So, as you go about your next week, just think; by you picking up a book to read, it might lead you AND your kids to the millionaire club… literally. Happy reading!

An entrepreneur's recipe for sweet success 3.33 min Read How often have you heard “You need to focus on ONE thing” ? There’s even a book called The One Thing. It’s actually a pretty good book but the title says it all. One focus, one thing, one path to success. I’m paraphrasing, but the general idea is that in order to get really good at something, you can’t spread yourself thin with a bunch of things that distract you from your ultimate goal… You’ve heard that before right? Well, Walt...
