Summary
Welcome back to this week's segment of the No Limit Minute for the Creative Capital Podcast. Today, I want to share a conversation I had with a friend who surprised me when he said that he actually makes it a point to read fewer books in a year as opposed to trying to read 50 or more. He says that instead of reading more, he wants to just read 3-5 key books and focus instead on implementing them. This concept blew my mind because I realized that I haven’t been exactly applying all the learnings I’ve gained from all the books that I’ve read. If you’re like me, then I’m pretty sure that you’ll find this No Limit Minute episode valuable. Listen in!
Why Less is More and Why Having Focus Key
- Focus on soaking up and implementing the information from the books
- Reading more books may mean that you are not implementing enough
- Try to read 3-5 key books this year and commit to implementing them
- Doing more work and putting in more hours don’t usually bring in results for your business
- Sometimes we need to bring back the reins and have more focus on key activities

Key Quotes:
“People always tell us to do more, to work hard and heavy, to keep hustling, to keep grinding. But you really need to bring it back a little bit, focus on just a few things, and watch how far you actually get in your business.” - Josh Ferrari

| 0:05.6 | I'm excited to talk about what we have to discuss today because it's very thought provoked |
| 0:11.0 | and honestly it kind of caught me by surprise and it goes against the status quo. That's right. |
| 0:16.8 | Those are the types of things I really like to discuss in these No Limit Minutes are things |
| 0:20.4 | that go against the status quo because one, they make you think to they press you to be better. |
| 0:26.8 | They make you rethink about what you're doing which can then allow you to tweak the way that you're |
| 0:33.6 | doing what you're doing and or do something entirely different and hopefully through that tweaking |
| 0:40.0 | and thought process you can end up getting into a better end result. So today I was actually |
| 0:45.2 | talking to you in the investor the other day and you know we just finished the the end of 2021 |

| 1:35.6 | know I should really read like 52 at least you know one one a week easy it's easy to read a book a |
| 1:43.3 | week and so I'm thinking I feel like I've really slacked off but then I was having a conversation |
| 1:50.0 | with an investor and he actually made it a point last year not to read a lot of books and here's |
| 1:56.6 | why he made it a point not to read a lot of books now if you think about it when you see everyone's |
| 2:01.2 | post about how many books or whatever it is that they've read yeah like hey I read 50 books last year |
