If you’re a seasoned investor, you know the power of continuous learning. Books offer an invaluable resource to expand your knowledge, gain new perspectives, and stay ahead of market trends.
Book authors become your mentors, even if you never meet them. They take the time to distill their knowledge, insights, strategies, and processes down into a few hundred pages, and tried to make it as digestible as possible. Then they present it to you to consume at your own pace.
By reading their book and taking action, you learn from their experiences instead of having to make the same mistakes and discoveries that they made. You meet your goals faster because you have a clearer path forward and can avoid some of the hurdles they had to overcome.
Unfortunately, it is easy to skip reading a book when there are so many pressing things that need to be done. There are no deadlines around reading a book. The book isn’t yelling at you to read it. No-one cares if you finish it next week instead of tomorrow. Reading generally falls into the “Important, but not urgent” set of tasks on your list.
To give you some encouragement, and to build up our community, I am creating a virtual book club focusing on books that help you live a life of abundance[1]. In particular, books that will help you design a life where financial freedom and personal fulfillment co-exist.
Advantages of joining a book club:
- Learn from Diverse Perspectives: Engage in lively discussions, sharing insights and experiences.
- Discover new strategies and opportunities: Explore the latest trends and best practices with a curated book selection.
- Build Your Network: Connect with a small community of like-minded professionals who are working towards similar goals within a supportive environment.
Our focus is on books that give practical strategies or insights to invest your time and money wisely, unlocking your full potential.
Our inaugural books are:
- The Lifestyle Investor by Justin Donald [2] – Discover the value of creating multiple passive income streams, allowing you to build wealth while enjoying life to the fullest.
- How to Buy Back Your Time by by Dan Martell [3] – Discover how to reclaim precious hours and create a more balanced lifestyle.
