Personal development is incredibly important. You’ve probably heard about how important it is to make time to do at least 20 minutes of personal development every day. So what to read first? What’s good? What personal development books for network marketing will skyrocket your business?
I read (or actually listen) a few books every month and I get asked all the time what books I’ve read and which ones I recommend. My mentor recommends these books for Network Marketers and Entrepreneurs but many of these books are great for ANYONE wanting to improve themselves.
How Can I Make Time to Read?
You might already be overwhelmed and the thought of adding reading to your to-do list seems impossible. Good news, it’s not impossible. If anything, it’s fun and it might become some of your favorite times of the day!
Starting a new habit is not easy and neither is quitting an old habit. Your old habit is probably listening to music in the car or while you work out. You might have a habit of watching TV in the morning with your coffee or in the evenings. Or you might do your makeup in silence. None of those is “bad” habits. But you can turn them into valuable personal development time! Make the CHOICE to listen to a good book, podcast, or periscope from a leader.
I use Audible to listen to my books. It’s, I think, $7 a month and you get 1 book credit a month. Most of the books I read are worth at least $7 so it’s a deal to get a subscription. I turn on my app and listen to books all the time.
- Listen to books in the car during your commute (even if that’s just 5 min at a time)
- Listen while you get around in the morning
- Listen while doing your daily run / walk as I do
- Listen while you do dishes
- Listen while you are working out
- Watch 20 minutes less of TV and devote 20 minutes to reading instead
- Wake up 20 minutes earlier and devote that time to personal development
Doing personal development is SIMPLE. It’s easy to do – the problem: it’s also easy NOT to do. You have to make a conscious decision to make a change.
