One lesson I've learned from millionaires is to always put your money to work, no matter how small. Even investing $100 per month can compound to tremendous wealth over decades. The key is to keep going!

[@Brightenedrim]

My advice for who wants to grow financially this year, invest. Saving is good, but investing elevates your finances. Thanks to my financial advisor, my portfolio is thriving, and I'm proud of last year's decisions.

[@Madridstrat]

People often don't realize how important financial advisors are. Data from the last 50 years shows that people who work with advisors usually earn more than those who don't. I've worked with a financial advisor for 13 years, and now I have a $2 million portfolio.

[@Frankweily]

If you don't mind me asking, how can i reach this your advisor?

[@Madridstrat]

I'm cautious about giving specific recommendations since everyone's situation varies, but I've worked with "Melissa Elise Robinson" for years and highly recommend her. See if she meets your criteria.

[@Frankweily]

I looked up her name online and found her page. I emailed and made an appointment to talk with her. Thanks for the tip.

[@zakharenkoff]

There are few things I would add: 1. Measure your success in outcome. It's not the number of books that you read, but number of meaningful changes that you bring about in your life that matters. 2. Focus on interest. Read the books that are deeply interesting to you and help you with problems that you perceive need to be solved. You don't have to know everything about everything, read what grasps you. P.S: Tolle's books have probably changed me the most out of everything I've ever read. I'd also put them to the top of the list for getting out of the bubble of our own thoughts and perceptions.

[@AdesanyaAyodejiCeg]

is it a good thing to read two books at a time..(not simultaneously)? i pick up one..when i get bored of it..i pick the other one.

[@5000Lissa]

@@AdesanyaAyodejiCeg Of course. Sometimes I read 3 or 4 books at a time and there is absolutely no difference in the outcome

[@ShrashthiC-e3p]

2. Focus on interest.... I love to read comics, story books and fictional books. That's my interest. But what good does they do. It's equivalent to watching TV.

[@jerryrichardson2799]

I don't read like I used to, but after college I read _Amusing Ourselves to Death_ and decided to stop watching television and read a lot more. People quit reading just when it starts to really get interesting. I read hundreds of books on many different subjects and started filling up some of the gaps in my education.

[@oddball_oddity]

Loved that book. I read it only last year, some would think it's outdated, but one could as easily replace the word "television" with "the Internet" and it all makes perfect sense. A 10/10 reading experience.

Audible was a game changer for me, ive read maybe a handful of books in my life and most of those before i was 10. I think im at 20books now in only the last few years. I listen on my way to work and i can tell you my life and career have improved significantly.

This comment is pure gold, thank you

[@itexperience]

the first 5 minutes were intriguing. Then the topic changed to money and time. And that's where it goes wrong. Life is not about -more- money. It's about happiness, challenge, satisfaction. I work in my own vegetable garden because it makes me happy. Not because it's more expensive in the supermarket. I play tennis because I find it challenging. Because I try to win from my friends. And not because I want to become world champion. And indeed: in the time that I'm playing tennis, I could have earned 20 dollars. But what good is that to me?

[@DavidSilva-ux4uy]

I take it that those 2 mentioned topics are just examples of areas where you could aim to change and improve in your live

[@obijuan3004]

The irony in your statement is that without money you don’t own a vegetable garden, fertilizers, soils, seeds, water or a water hose. Without money you don’t own a tennis racket, tennis shoes, tennis clothes and you won’t have access to a nice club to play tennis. At some point you won’t be able to work, do you have enough money for that?

[@leo_nidas]

Wow! First time I see you on my feed. Excellent video and excellent recommendations. My excuse is that I receive hundreds of chats and emails throughout the day, and just don’t want to read any more after my very long workday has ended. I have tried going back to reading and has been very difficult for me because the above. I recently finished the 48 Laws of Power, it hooked me, didn’t matter how busy I was. Thank you! I will try, 2 minutes at a time and picking up books about the problems I’m trying to solve.

[@shars.555]

This video was sooo good! Reading can change your life and sustain that change. I looove books. I just read at least one chapter a day.

[@monicazhou9135]

this is such a great heads-up at just the right time. I've been trying to pass an extremely challenging test for a certificate and I have zero clue where I should start. So I'm kinda procrastinating. Well, I'm starting bit by bit, like daily. Not big changes, but small and steady.

Significance, to me, is not measured by time. I spend 5 minutes a day in my Bible app with scripture and prayer. That 5 minutes may seem insignificant to some, but to me, it’s the most important 5 minutes of my day.

I've listened to a few of her videos now, but this little 12 min clip really hit home for me. I listen to youtube motivational tapes while showering all the time, but now b/c of her I'm going to start adding audio books. Yesterday I was on the bus & I started watching this video. I've heard this clip a few times but watching & listening really made a difference. Her voice is perfect too. It doesn't come across as monotonous or her voice being too low in order to be able to hear her while showering. Thank you whoever you are ;-)

[@Learnittoday55]

So much of you talked about in this video, resonates with me. I picked-up books 3 years ago and my goal was to be a better peer and leader in workplace. I improved a lot. Now I am changing the topic, grow money, but still reading books.

[@MeesterGgaming]

Amazing video with many great tips beside the reading part, the only thing you could add is the SEO part of adding the book you want us to read (at the end) in your description, when someone clicks on it you get a small amount when setting it up properly. When they buy the book you get a cut from the website they buy it on for example. Just a tip for an already amazing video keep up the great work and i love the drawings!

Is partially true Even if you read and you spread this trough a few months period, almost sure you will not recall what you've read at the beggining. The approach should be by chapters at least, and you still have to try to understand what you read and maybe take some notes etc ...

[@mohammadmuddasseralam94]

If I start to build my reading habit from Day 1 as 100 seconds and increase it by 1% daily. It will become 3741 seconds or 62.35 minutes a day. and I will max out myself at 3741 seconds and will maintain the time for next 4 years. If I assume it takes me 18000 seconds or 300 minutes or 5 hours to complete a book containing around 120-150 pages. Year 1 = 20 Books Year 2 = 75 Books Year 3 = 75 Books Year 4 = 75 Books Year 5 = 75 Books After completion of this streak, anyone can approximately complete 320 books in 5 year. 1 book cost me around $1.25 or 150 BDT on average in my country Bangladesh. 320 books will cost me $400 or BDT48000.

The first book I bought was 2,5 years ago: the alchemist. Started reading it a couple times for some pages and then never looked back at it for a couple of months; no concentration and motivation to read. I started it again a couple months ago with the goal to read 5 pages a day; worked for a week. Then I thought let’s buy some books I want to read eventually, so I got 5 ‘self-helping’ books like 2/3 months ago, and 2 books like a couple days ago. Only read one for 30 pages. I learned I got to start way smaller, and really set goals on why I want to read this book. Most of these books I bought because of a ‘life problem’ and to learn and make progress in life. It should be part of your lifestyle and mindset. With the gym and some other routine I am pretty consistent and making some nice progress. Reading is just a harder part but this video gave me a motivation boost for sure

1. Small Habit: Just 2 minutes a day can lead to significant changes. Don’t wait for the perfect time; start now with small actions. 2. Solutions: Books help solve specific problems, like improving communication and boosting confidence. They become valuable tools for personal growth. 3. Guides: You don’t need successful friends; authors can guide you. Reading success-related books changes your mindset and behavior. 4. Which book should I start with? Choose a book that addresses your biggest current problem. 5. What’s the best way to read? Listen to audiobooks first; if it’s not engaging within 45 minutes, stop. If it’s good, listen again while skimming the text. 6. Struggling to focus on audiobooks? Don’t stress about understanding everything. Treat it like a conversation with a smart friend. Pick simpler books and adjust the speed as needed. 7. Must-read book? "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle helps you control your thoughts and understand your mind.

Healthily is a word.

[@TheAsthmatic91]

Used in the wrong context though.

[@TheAsthmatic91]

Of course, a lot of our food is disease ridden. So eat healthily can be correct.

[@alanboyd2413]

The word ‘eat’ is a verb, so it is modified by an adverb, which is what ‘healthily’ is, the adverb derived from ‘health’ - perhaps you were thinking it should have been ‘eat healthy’, but ‘healthy’ is an adjective so is not being used correctly if it modifies a verb.
