    Mental Distractions: Why can't I focus while reading?

    QUESTION 
    Hey guys, I'm wondering why I keep having mental distractions while reading. I keep wandering off and thinking of something completely different when I want to focus on learning through books. This is mainly the reason why it took me 2 months to finish Unscripted. I would read a couple pages...

    Stop reading about swimming and jump in the damn pool!

    GOLD! NEWSLETTER 
    I've said this over and over here. At some point, you have to STOP reading about swimming, and just jump in the pool. I found this great tweet on Twitter that summarizes the importance of reading, but also on following up reading with a dive into the pool. In today's culture, ACCESS TO...

    I Read 200 Books, Why Am I Not a Millionaire?

    MINDSET 
    I feel like I need to throw this commitment out there into the universe to make it seem more real. And anyone who wants to do this challenge with me, I'll call it the 1 for 10 challenge. From now on, reading = entertainment. If you're reading something and it is not going to help you solve...

    What if we could make Reading a lot smoother?

    MINDSET 
    There are some things that pretty much all of us on here have in common. One of those is, that we all read a lot. Though of course there are more ways of learning something new, reading remains at the top with listening, watching and others. But for many, reading is quite an (mentally)...

    Started my first LLC - From play-faking to taking action.

    EXECUTION 
    I've spent the past year dreaming of a Fastlane and taking small steps towards making it happen. I read Millionaire Fastlane, then listened to MJ's other two books on Audible. I've spent the past 6 months listening to books on tape during my commute each day to work. It's been primarily a mix...

    Time to start reading intensely

    MINDSET 
    MJ and other successful people really kicked my a$$ in terms of what I am willing to do to and need to do to be successful. I need to be honest with myself and understand that I have probably read less then 30 books in my life. And im 25. That is really scary :s. So I just ordered 10 topical...

    Reading Habits, suggestions?

    So I was wondering what are your reading habits? In the past I absorbed as much information as possible from books, but now I am becoming selective and even want to have a restriction of maximum books I should read during the year, focusing on application of whatever I am reading and thinking...

    Books about finding business idea

    IDEA 
    Hello fellow Fastlaners :) I'm looking for a viable business idea and that's one of the things I fail at. I cannot find an idea that would satisfy all CENTS/CENTS commandments.

    You're Reading The Wrong Books!

    BOOKS 
    Many people have said in this forum, the number of books that you read does not directly correlate with income or success... Just as there are successful people who read books, there are plenty of successful people who have never picked up a single self-help or business book. Maybe if I read...
