Your Hour-a-Day Fast Track to Success

     Your Hour-a-Day Fast Track to Success

What does it take to be successful? 

You don't have to be the smartest person in the world or be born with a silver spoon. There is a very simple, tried and proven method that will work for just about anyone . . . and in a remarkably short time. Study something — anything that is of interest to you — for one hour a day in the same way that a university student would study one of his courses.

This is a concept that was popularized by Earl Nightingale a half-century ago and then largely forgotten. But, as Nightingale discovered, daily study is a trait of almost all successful individuals. And it very quickly pays off. Because in just six months of concentrated, one-hour-a-day study, you can understand the basics of almost any topic. Sound simple? It is. That’s the beauty of it, and one of the reasons this technique can change lives . . . the lives of directionless teenagers . . . of people stuck in mid-career ruts . . . and of those in their golden years who feel sidelined by society and need some extra cash.

The obvious truth is that if you study something you are passionate about. It not only makes the learning fun but also assures that your new career will be emotionally as well as financially satisfying. Happy with the job or company you’re already working for? There is no surer way to move up the corporate ladder than by learning more about the industry you’re in. After just a month or two of daily study, you’ll be demonstrating your fast-growing knowledge on the job — and attracting the attention of your superiors. 

How can you find an extra hour a day in which to study?

 I’ve found that the best way to proceed is to schedule your study period for the same time each day. I prefer the quiet hour between 5:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Too early for you? Go to bed by 10 p.m. and you can still get in a solid seven hours of sleep before rising at 5 a.m. to make coffee and get in the groove.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Don’t procrastinate. If you don’t learn something new today, you will just be one day older and not one bit smarter tomorrow. And don’t forget to spread Mr. Nightingale’s word: Knowledge is power — and you can acquire a remarkable amount of knowledge in just one hour a day. Share this with someone else if you got Value from this.
