OWN Your Topic

Once you have read 20 books on a topic you OWN that topic.

It's true. But how many people do it? Not many.

But guess what? Successful people do. Millionaires do. And so will you.


It's so easy to get started, with services from Amazon & Kindle, The Book Depository, etc. You can also pickup magazines on your topic, though the content is often not as in depth.

It’s even easier to take in great audio book through services like Audible. There are also video programs, or you can watch The History channel or The Biography channel for biographies.

But how often do you actually take the time to consume GOOD content?

Make sure that you’re taking the time to read about the things you actually want in your life.

Order a new book, or subscribe to a magazine that directly pertains to where you want to go and how you want to show up in the world. 

Instead of watching a movie, or the tennis, or a soap, or another series, watch a biography this weekend of an amazing person whose success you want to emulate.

Australians on average watch about 3 hours TV a day!

It’s time to get serious about your self-study. Knowledge is power.
Go online and find a book list on your topic.

Read what the giants who have gone before you wrote to create that which you most want to have & experience in life. It's that easy. Success leaves clues. They wrote them in books.

If you have read everything on the book list, fantastic! Read them again. Cover to cover.

If you haven't read them. Get moving, get reading.

Read for 15 mins before bed. This will fill your subconscious with good stuff that it can go to work on while you sleep.

If there are questions to answer, or exercises to do, (very common in self development books), go to a cafe, and spend some time just for yourself to answer the questions, and go through the exercises. Don't worry about getting it right, just get words on the paper, do it quickly, you can always refine it later, it's more important to get it flowing.

Start applying what you read.

Share and teach what you have read, it will make it so much more clear for you, and embed it even deeper.

Then watch your success take off.

To your success,
Trevor Long
