Growing up I hated to read.

You couldn't get me to read anything lol even if my life depended on it lol

But now that has changed for the good

I am a student of personal development / personal growth and cant keep my hands off of this valuable information

There is so much great information available some people just never take the time to read it lol

I was first introduced to the home based business, mlm, network marketing, direct sales, multi level marketing, pyramid scheme, whatever you want to call it

Anyway I was a broke 19 year old college student

I had no clue where who or what I was going to be but I was looking for something

And out of no where I saw the light lol

The rest is history

I have been fortunate to work and train with some of the best leaders in this industry.
Internet marketing experts
Business Consultants
Millionaires as well as a
Billionaire

And the most important thing I learned

Was to work harder on my self

And that's what I have done

I have learned from the best

So whether your looking to start your own work from home business or you are already in a company such as Quixtar Xango Pre-Paid Legal Vemma ACN SGR Costal fhtm Road to Riches Vm Direct Herbal life 5linx Isagenix zrii goji ytb xooma

Your success is dependent on your personal development and the books you read

Never settle for anything less that what you truly desire and most importantly deserve.

I got my statistics from http://www.buzzmachine.com/2006/07/21/the-book-on-books/

One-third of high school graduates never read another book for the rest of their lives. ...
58% of the US adult population never reads another book after high school.
42% of college graduates never read another book.
80% of US families did not buy or read a book last year.
70% of US adults have not been in a bookstore in the last five years.
57% of new books are not read to completion.
Most readers do not get past page 18 in a book they have purchased.Customers 55 and older account for more than one-third of all books bought.
Number of publishers
1947: 357 publishers
1973: 3,000 publishers
1980: 12,000 Publishers. The New York Times, February 23, 1981.
1994: 52,847 publishers. Books in Print.
2003: About 73,000 (plus those who publish through POD/DotCom publishers; they use the publisher's ISBN block.)
78% of the titles published come from the small/self-publishers.
Most initial print runs are 5,000 copies.
A larger publisher must sell 10,000 books to break even.
A book must move in the stores in six weeks.
On the average, a book store browser spends eight seconds looking at the front cover and 15 seconds looking at the back cover.
Women buy 68% of all books.
Jerold Jenkins' stats on writers:
81% of the population feels they have a book inside them.

28% would write on personal development
27% would write history, biography, etc.
20% would do a picture book, cookbook, etc.

  • how biased

    what about music

    one cannot call themselfs educated if one does not know about music

    not everyone reads

    like not everyone plays music

    i read though i also understand why someone might not be so inclined to read

    does it matter?

    like your idealistic views on how people should all read but be realistic for a moment!

  • Honor your parents. Your recent activity shames them.

  • wtf the bible? man your dumb as fuck I say follow your heart. be interesting, be outgoing, be fun.

  • awesome!

  • well i tried but i dont see what you see, and I wont. But dont turn this into a religious topic, its about books, not religion. Whatever floats your book!

  • I LOVE THIS VIDEO.ARTHUR ROBINSON

  • i noticed he mention some great and wonderful books, but if u really want true prosperity try reading the bible not to sound religious because that where most of these guys get there informatiom, i dare yall to try it bet u will see what i see

  • I was just like you as a kid. I thought I didn't like reading when, in fact, I love reading books of interest. Barnes & Noble is my second home. Great video.
