Bill Gates spends at least 3 hours a day reading books. Warren Buffet reads more than 10 hours a day.
Not only the Billionaires read books daily but, also someone who is an entrepreneur spends at least 1 hour a day self-educating themselves.
Because the schools and universities we attend are not designed to shape people as entrepreneurs but to work under someone else.
If you look at the Billionaires in the world, not everyone has their education completed and have a university or college degree.
It is the education from the books and networking that helped them reach success and create fortunes.
I was settled for normal before I know anything about entrepreneurship and starting a business, these are the books that helped me change my mindset and view towards money.
- I was thinking that money doesn’t buy happiness.
- Money isn’t everything.
- Money makes people greedy.
- Money is evil.
- Rich people are evil.
- Banks are safe.
- House is an asset.
But once when I realized all these things and mindset is derived from the average like our parents or society who are settled for less and working under some entrepreneur and business owner.
According to Credit Suisse, The Top 1% Owns 50% of Global Wealth and this 50% are entrepreneurs, business owners, and investors.
So stop taking advice and discussing ideas with the 99% who are settled for less.
