The 2009 **52-Week 52-Book CHALLENGE**

As I am keeping up with my goals for 2009, like everyone in the world *cough cough, I came up with a brilliant idea. Or at least it's brilliant in my mind, you can be the judge. After studying many successful business owners ahead of me, I realized they all have at least one thing in common. The desire for constant self-improvement. Their income is in direct proportion to how many books they have on their bookshelf. Will Smith says it the best in this inspiring YOUTUBE video. There is no new problem you can have that has not solved and wrote in a book.

The year of 2009 is the year of CHANGE. I want to CHANGE the way I operate and CHANGE the way I think. Reflecting on my progression the past few months, I have reached unprecedented growth when I am constantly educating myself with new material. So I want to inspire YOU to take action. So here's the challenge. I originally wrote my goal to read 36 books this year (Might I add that I am a very slow reader so one of those books is on speed reading and I have not ever read more than 20 books in a year). We're scratching that and upping it to 52. One per week baby! Now that is great for me but how does that help you? Well, I am going to document my journey through video and blogging. I will record and summary of the books I read and why I chose that book.

Now were getting interesting. In choosing books, obviously I am reading information which will allow me to improve in that area of my life. You will be able to see the problems I am facing and how to overcome them in your business through education and ACTION. With YOU watching, it will also hold me accountable to stay aligned with my goal.

Now, we all have challenges we face on the road to wealth. Some more than others, but it's not your fault. You were programmed to think a certain way about money and about life ever since you were a kid. Now it's time to reprogram. Being wealthy is just a mindset. You can borrow the way of thinking from successful people around you or your broke neighbors...it's your choice. The question is, what are you going to feed your mind? Are YOU up to the CHALLENGE?
