π§π Maverick Talk ππ§ - All you have to do is ASK!
β
It is not how many books you readβ¦
β
β¦but the ability to implement the ideas from the book to enhance your life and business.
β
I used to read over 40 books a year.
β
But retained any of the information and saw a small impact.
β
So, I established a rule: before starting a new book, I had to write at least five to ten bullet points summarising the key takeaways from the current one.
β
As a result, I started to read fewer books, but I learned more and saw improvements!
β
This year, I've decided to revisit books that have significantly impacted me over the years.
β
I will write a summary of each book and write down three practical actions on how the ideas from the book can improve my life and business in the short term.
β
I am going to absorb them, distil them, and implement these ideas in my life.
β
What is your approach to reading and implementing books into your life and business?

P.S. If you're curious about what kind of books I have been reading, visit my reading list here.β
This is originally from a LinkedIn post I did - check out the fantastic conversation here.β

QUOTE I REFLECT ON
BOOK I HAVE BEEN READING
β"Effortless" was one of the best books I read last year. It made me reflect, and "Effortless" has become my word of the year.
What does Effortless Mean? It's the ultimatum state for impact - Iβm in a state where Iβm physically rested and emotionally unburdened. Iβm completely present, mentally energised, attentive and focused on what matters most in that moment - it's all done with ease and fun.
Key learnings from this book: We glorify the idea of working hard.
If you want to achieve outstanding results, you have to sweat and blood during the process.
We are used to saying things like, β
Itβs not going to be easy, but itβll be worth itβ.
Thatβs not entirely true.
Why couldnβt we work efficiently and still have the results we want?
Working hard isnβt efficient.
What matters most is to work smart.
Let me know what you learned from reading this book.

Wise selfishness vs foolish selfishness.Last week, I was captivated by a Netflix documentary featuring the late Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama titled "Joy." Here, they discuss how to find joy and happiness during troubled times. At some point in the interview, they discuss the need to care for yourself without hurting others.They state that you must take care of yourself, or you can not survive or be helpful to others.But caring for oneself should not hurt others. The Daila Lama brings up...
The Power of Positive Energy.None of us can expect to get through life and work without obstacles. Life and work do not always go our way.But that does not mean you canβt navigate it better. You need more POSITIVE ENERGY.In my work observing what Maverick leaders KNOW and DO, I have found that they see positive energy as THE fuel for driving themselves and their organisation to greatness.When I talk about positive energy, I do not think about the rah-rah kind. I think about:- Optimism.-...
Slow down to go far...In the bustling landscape of entrepreneurship and life, finding the silence and solitude one needs to think clearly can be challenging.In the last few years, I've recognised its profound impact on my life and work.Not only when it comes to coping now but also to ensure I can keep going.Silence is often overlooked in our fast-paced world.It holds the key to bettering ourselves and enhancing our leadership.When we neglect this vital space, the quality of our...
