00:01:20.960 guys are killing it and i'm appreciative today i want to get into something that is extremely
00:01:26.900 extremely extremely important all right now i just spoke with my whole entire company on sunday
00:01:37.460 and we do that once a month and the reason we do it on sunday is because we are open seven days a week
00:01:41.820 and that's the only time we can get everybody in is together sunday nights because we close
00:01:46.040 earlier than normal we talked a lot about core values all right we talked about what it meant
00:01:52.660 to stand for core values what it meant to live and breathe and practice core values and make them
00:01:58.760 part of your character over time but what we also talked about was personal development all right
00:02:07.280 the biggest thing that you can do for your success is to commit yourself to learning all right i have
00:02:17.700 so many people dm me and so many people ask me and so many people email me questions and one of the
00:02:24.500 first things that i always respond back is i say how many books have you read in the last year
00:02:28.520 the reason i asked that question is because i want to know what kind of person they are
00:02:34.020 are they someone who is committed to learning who is committed to getting better or who is committed 0.98
00:02:39.480 to improving their skill set on their own or are they someone wasting my time with a bullshit question 0.99
00:02:47.880 so i'll ask them how many books did you read what books did you read and if i don't get a fucking 0.99
00:02:52.120 response instantly i know they're full of shit okay you guys have to understand it is nobody's job 0.99
00:03:01.400 it is nobody's obligation it is nobody's responsibility but yours to put good shit in 1.00
00:03:07.820 your brain and in this day and age with the availability of information there is literally 0.99
00:03:13.720 no excuse that you could make to not put good shit into your brain and this is not occasionally this 0.99
00:03:21.640 is not scrolling through facebook and see a good video this is not just listening to a podcast or two 0.99
00:03:28.540 i'm talking about dedicating a specific amount of time or a specific task every single day
00:03:36.620 to improve your skill set what i do and this is what i highly and by the way if i ever say what i do
00:03:44.380 that means i'm highly recommending it to you as well because it's worked well all right what i do
00:03:49.100 is i've committed myself to reading a minimum of 10 pages of a book per day and always people say
00:03:58.200 whenever i say this i say they say well andy how do you know what books to read hey read them all
00:04:04.300 when you buy a book that you like or you find a book that you like or you find a book that you're 0.99
00:04:08.640 interested in you go to amazon to buy it and it says suggested underneath get all those motherfuckers 0.99
00:04:13.480 too okay because here's the reality you might spend five six seven ten hours total reading that book 0.96
00:04:20.680 but if you pull one idea one skill one concept out of that book that you can apply to your life
00:04:31.340 that eight to ten twelve hours spent was time well spent you don't have to like the whole book you
00:04:38.960 don't have to understand the whole book all you've got to do is understand one thing out of the book
00:04:43.440 and every single one of you has the capacity to do that i am a slow terrible reader and i'm not ashamed
00:04:51.960 to say that i'm saying that because i promise you the majority of you guys can read much better than
00:04:57.960 i can and and retain information much better than i can i have to take notes i have to it takes me a
00:05:05.160 long time to read 10 pages i have to dedicate at least an hour of my day to that but i'm committed to
00:05:10.920 that and because of that over the last 16 17 years i've read 500 books and i know there's people out 0.99
00:05:17.980 there that tell you oh don't read books well that's fucking bullshit okay i see people saying 0.99
00:05:24.520 that on the internet it makes me fucking cringe you should absolutely by the way that's an ego-driven 1.00
00:05:31.040 thing don't read books be like me see how everything works and being able to do it that's not how we all 0.98
00:05:36.920 work okay the reason i am where i am is because i've read so many fucking books that i've been able 0.90
00:05:42.620 to pull an idea here or an idea there or a concept here a concept there or a skill over here a skill 0.69
00:05:49.260 over there and over time that's created a body of work that is very fucking effective okay so anybody 0.99
00:05:58.080 who tells you that reading is a waste of time they're full of shit it's a great use of your time 0.98
00:06:03.860 take the time make the commitment do what you have to do and make a minimum amount per day 10 pages 0.99
00:06:17.040 one hour of listening um you know things that you could quantify and track and put that into your
00:06:24.780 power list put that into your daily tasks read 10 pages a day until that becomes a habit for 21 days
00:06:31.000 then take it off your list you'll keep going guys nobody can do personal development for you and
00:06:36.540 something like i read i don't know i'm sure on the stats and and i i'm gonna make this up but it was

00:08:46.880 you know i'm sure a lot of you guys do this because you're consuming my podcast which means you're 0.96

00:09:35.680 people that don't read they don't put in personal development time we've got people who put in
00:09:39.860 personal development time and then we've got people who put in personal development time and then take 0.99
00:09:44.340 the shit that they learn and actually make it part of who the fuck they are so you've got a the guys 0.99
00:09:50.560 who don't fucking do this personal development and they're usually you know forty thousand dollar 1.00

00:10:03.940 to this podcast second group we've got guys who read and they learn a little bit and they might put a 0.99
00:10:09.320 little bit into play and those guys might end up making six figures because uh you know they they're
00:10:14.200 they are smarter than the other guys and they are more skilled and they have learned those guys might 0.97
00:10:18.460 end up with some sort of six-figure career then you got the guys who absorb all the fucking skills 0.99
00:10:23.200 they can and then also make them part of who the fuck they are those are the guys that make high 0.97
00:10:28.080 six-figure jobs seven-figure jobs become eight-figure guys and become extremely fucking crucial 0.97

00:10:44.940 company but all of you guys can provide and learn the skills and value that comes from those skills
00:10:52.820 in your day-to-day career which can build extreme value in you so guys when you think about why
00:11:00.660 you're not getting where you want to go why you aren't doing the things you want to do why you
00:11:04.640 aren't making the money that you make i promise you a big part of that is because you're not doing
