Success Is Kept On The Top Shelf… Dax’s Holiday Reading

Hey Guys

Well, I’m 7 days into my latest MAGIC Hundred goal achievement challenge and things are going great so far with bungee jumping, go-cart racing, visits to temples and all manner of great things getting crossed off my list.

It’s been a really great start so far but by far the biggest dent has been made in my education goals with 3 audio programs listened to so far, 7 books read (5 of them on my MAGIC hundred list and 2 ‘bonus’ books and a bunch more waiting to be read between now and getting home to the UK on Tuesday night : )

I admit it, I read fast. REALLY fast!

I’ve never actually learned to speed read through a course or anything and I certainly don’t skim-read as I truly enjoy reading but I seem to plough through books faster than anyone else I know.

Not a bad thing, right?

After all, I’ve always believed that leaders are readers and that success is kept on the top shelf and the only way to achieve it is by standing on all the books you’ve read… so I read : )

The way I look at it is simple. The gap between where you are and where you want to be is dictated by what you know and what you don’t know and by what you act on and what you don’t.

That being the case, I seek to know more when I go to bed than I knew when I woke up EVERY SINGLE DAY of my life and have done for years and years. More than this, I take action on every new piece of information I learn by promising myself to take a MINIMUM of one new action in my life as a result of what I’ve read or learned.

Does it work?

Well, it’s done me well so far, right? : )

10 years ago I was broke and living on a housing estate yet now I make a very nice living and live a very nice life. I’m even taking a six-month mini-retirement in August this year to move to Thailand with my family so yes, it works : )

But here’s the deal… education doesn’t just happen to you. You have to seek it. You have to buy the books and draw out the meaning within them.

In fact, that’s what the word ‘education’ means when translated from its original latin ‘educos’. It means to draw out.

Read all the books.

Learn what you don’t know. Draw out the meaning and most of all, apply it to your life.

Do this and your goals are a cinch!

Most people take tons of clothes on holiday… I take an extra suitcase just for my books : )

Have a great day and go get those goal!

Truth, joy and love
