Description

Two cool ways to help you read faster, and actually remember and implement the things that you learned. I was at this mastermind recently and I was talking to a good friend of mine, Alex Hormozi (who used ClickFunnels to help grow his GymLaunch business from Zero to over $50 Million in just a few years), and he said… “Russell, I don’t read a lot of books. I read a few books multiple times.” And I thought that was so profound.  (He’s read my book “Expert Secrets” 9 times). So for retention, Alex reads just a few books many times. It gets better! I recently discovered something where you can read books quickly AND retain way more information. And I mean WAAAY more! I’ve taken a few speed reading courses in my life and nothing seemed to work. But this technique I stumbled upon is AMAZING! And it’s so simple… So check out this episode if you want to become a super speed reader AND comprehend more of what you read! ---Transcript--- What's up, everybody? This is Russell Brunson. Welcome back to the Marketing Secrets podcast. So excited to be with you guys today. In fact, right now I'm actually on the location at a secret film shoot. Well, I guess it's a secret now, won't be secret after the video goes live. Hopefully billions and millions of people see it, but we filmed some really cool ads today and had a quick break and thought I would jump on and say hey to you guys. Last week I was actually up in a mastermind group up in Northern Idaho at Priest Lake with a bunch of cool guys. And I had two big epiphanies, two takeaways, two cool things I want to share with you guys about reading. The first is so that you can actually read more. So if you want to get more books done, you got a whole bunch of books you want to get through or you just got that one book you're stuck on, you can't figure how to get through it. This will help you to be able to read faster and the second one is to help you actually retain more. That way, the things you're reading, you're actually able to use them and implement them as opposed to just reading just to hear stuff and keep moving on like most people do. So those are the two things we're talking about when we get back from the theme song. All right, so like I said, I was up this mastermind group up in Northern Idaho, a bunch of really cool people there. But one of my favorite people hanging out with is Alex Hormozi. And I had so much fun with him up there and I'm not going to lie. Part of the reason why I wanted to tell you this is because it inflated my own ego, so I am going to take that because it feels good. So I was talking to him and we were talking about books and stuff like that. And he looked at me and he told me, he's like, "Russell, first off, I understand that the new hardbound versions of Expert Secrets and Dotcom Secrets are a million times better than the originals." I was like, "Thanks, man. I appreciate that." He's like, "No. No. Really. I don't think you understand how many times I've read these books." He's like, "I don't read a lot of books because of that what I do is that I start it and I read it and I read it slowly and when I get to the end, I flip it over and I start over again." He's like, "I read Expert Secrets." I think he said like nine or 10 times since it came out, which is crazy. He said Dotcom Secrets probably five or six times and Traffic Secrets, same thing, like five or six times. And he said, "Most people they try to read a lot of books. He said, "What I do is I try to read one book a lot of times," and I thought that was so profound. I think there's this thought or this belief in society especially in the entrepreneurial world that you have to read a book a week and stay on top of and have all this information inside your brain, but I don't think that's true. In fact, I remember Steven Larson funnel hacking live two years ago. We talked about that. I said, "You hear all the time that CEO reads a book a week." He said, "The problem is that none of us are CEOs right now.
