CAN'T AFFORD TO WATCH YOUR READING GOALS FAIL?
One misconception I see many individuals have year-over-year is that 'READ MORE BOOKS THIS YEAR' is a real goal.
WHAAAATTTT!????
Quick question, did you 'read more books' last year?
Let me guess what your answer is... "Ermmmm.....not really...."
Here is the thing with routines, it must be registered in your mind to be done daily and not yearly or monthly.
You probably set this kind of goal last year and watched it flop, sadly. 😖
In other news, 'read 1 book per month' will also not work most of the time.
Here is what works, decide the number of pages you want to read per day.
Not to be religious about it, but to create a reading structure that gets your reading groove on even when you're very busy.
It's super easy and you won't need a motivational speaker's 'ginger'! 😆
Comment below how many pages you will read daily this week and let me hold you accountable.

I help you form a consistent reading habit.
Looking back, 2020 is probably the year I have learnt the most lessons and build more confidence.
2020 marks the end of a phase of life for me and this one thing is what I have learnt and decided to take on like a baton.
One of the many ways to make this a reality is to join a community of people who are doing what you want to do.
A one man army doesn't exist. We build on the relationships we have. Selah.
Going forward, I want to take action promptly!
Double tap if this sounds like what you'll do so well in 2021 too.

Have a beautiful year and expand!
It Is Not Finished!
The result of hardship is tolerance. If a government subjects its citizens to so much hardship, they inturn learn so much tolerance.
But when the cup of tolerance is full, they begin to request for justice.
Dear Nigerian government, if only you did better. If only you were schooled on what LEADERSHIP truly means, you wouldn't be in the shame you're in right now.
You have taught your people to be so tolerance, even to death, we will be tolerant till we get freedom.
Dear fallen heroes, join the souls in Revelation 6:10, the cup of judgement will soon be full.
Be Green! Dear Nigeria, be green always!
Happy Independence Day❣️!

Here's one reading tactic I'll be using this week.
This week is already filled with so much work We will be preparing for our reading experience for kids.
This week, I'll make good use of audiobooks. Especially at night when I might be too tired to even open my eyes to read a word.
Try it, you will only need your ears and your mind. 😄

I just read this 75 paged book and its one of the best business book I've read.
Much more than making money, it teaches business centered around the customer, giving value to solve their needs and their satisfaction.
Reposted from Anything You Want by Derek Sivers
Anything You Want is Derek Sivers' iconic manifesto on lessons learned while becoming an entrepreneur
You don't need a visionary master plan, loads of funding, or a brilliant team to start a business.
When Derek Sivers started CD Baby, he wasn't planning on building a major business. He was a successful independent musician who just wanted to sell his CDs online. He started in 1998 by helping his friends sell their CDs too. In 2000, he hired his first employee. Eight years later, he sold CD Baby for $22 million.
Sivers didn't need a business plan, and neither do you. You don't need to think big; in fact, it's better if you don't. Anything You Want will inspire you to start with what you have, care about your customers more than yourself, and run your business like you don't need the money.
You probably told yourself at the beginning of this year “I’M GOING TO READDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD……..
If it didn’t happen, do not worry. 2020 hasn’t ended yet.
But remember, you’ve got to equip yourself with knowledge if you want to be a working solution.
Your greatest problem may be distractions-disguising itself as lack of time, concentration, memory etc.
In this world of mobile phone addictions and social media, ATTENTION is the scarcest commodity right now.
Here is a simple advice from me to you in this month.
Have a special time of the day where you JUST THINK.
10-30 minutes a day is okay.
Set an alarm to remind yourself and think.
Your sanity and attention span will thank you later.
Have a Beauty-full August 💃.

I spoke with a doctor this morning, he owns two hospitals and makes 7-8 figures monthly in profit. He told me that his hospitals have a policy, 'Everybody reads the same book monthly and each employee must submit a report on the book before the employee receives his/her salary. I replied with "This one is deep o"🤣
Books are not for reading. They are tools to expand your mind so that your transformed mind and new knowledge can help you achieve bigger results.
The registration doors are closing tonight, I do not want you to miss this bootcamp,but if you do, the next one is in January.

Finally, it's here!
Today, while creating this podcast, I was reminded that procrastination is much more dangerous in the long term than in the short term.
Listen to the podcast and share with a friend.❤️
Registration for the reading habit bootcamp is on, the date is now 24th - 31st July.
What do you do to intentionally take action on what you read in a book?...For me, it's to personalize the expected results before I start the book.😎
What's yours?
Your books keep staring at you and you also keep staring back!🙄
You've tried to motivate yourself and it didn't work!
Let me show you how to make it work using simple actionable reading strategies.
Link in bio to register, you don't want to miss it, the next one is in January.
Tomorrow, I'll drop a short podcast on how to deal with procrastination when trying to read books. 🧡🧡🧡

✨THE RULE OF DOS AND DON'TS.
I had always wanted to learn make-up. Not for the cliché, I considered it a necessity.
So I contacted and got a pack.
But for a long time, I struggled with my brows, blending and many other stuff. I was always looking like a person who was made up by a carpenter!🤣🤣
Finally, I went on YouTube and watched a video on the dos and don'ts of make up.
Long story short, I got this look by myself.💃💃💃
Sometimes the first thing to find out is what you're doing wrong, and when you correct them, it gets better from there.
This applies to your reading habit, you'll be surprised at many things you're doing wrong when you register for the bootcamp.
The link is in my bio to register. Feel free to share it with anyone who needs it.

Holy Spirit, we are about to do it again, we did it in January and the results were massive. Teaching people to smash their reading goals 💃💃💃
I've coined another name for it 🥳
Let me goan continue preparing 🤩🤩🤩
The most surprising statement I've heard this year came from my eldest sister, after one month of having her son in YOUNG READERS' ACADEMY, she said "Adepeju, I'm very proud of what you're doing, we won't be paying your family discounted price anymore, we will pay the regular fee for our son"........😨
Have I always been proud of myself? No!
Do tears roll down my eyes sometimes? Yes.
Sometimes it's tears of pain, sometimes is tears of joy, sometimes it's tears of cluelessness.😩
Maybe I'm too hard on myself, I'm not sure.
But today, I'm grateful! Like some of my friends will say, "Peju, own it to your chest, you're doing well".
Pioneering is haaaaaaaard! 😫 Sometimes in my coaching classes, my people ask me, "Depeju, who taught you all these things?"
"GOD! God taught me!' And he shocks me by the testimonials I get, even me, I have my hands down!🤣
2020 Second-half effective reading habit bootcamp registration will be on by July 4💃💃💃
There's only one thing that comes to mind, GRATITUDE!
Last night, I went on YouTube and typed 'Take Action'.......I watched the first video that came up and here's what I came back with...."YOU'RE EITHER IN THE 99% OR IN THE 1%".....🏅
I've come to realize that results is just about making a firm decision and going for it. Your will power is really important, then God comes to cap it up with favour!
FYI I'm on your case as per July 4😃, so listen, enjoy and change a few things. 🥳 And share too....share the vibes....💖
HAPPY NEW MONTH!🧡🧡
These three books have changed my outlook about my input and output in this first half of the year.
When you master habits, becoming so good they can't ignore you becomes effortless!
You don't rise to the standard of your goals, you fall to the standard of your systems. Create systems above setting goals.
As I prepare for July 4, I'll be reading Richard Branson books as recommended by my mentor I'm halfway into losing my virginity, if you read that book, you'll laff tire. 🤣🤣
What book have you selected for July?
In the course of this week, you may come across book recommendations that seem to be good reads.
It's very easy to hop from one book to another before finishing the former because someone said "the book is nice".
Here is what you can do;
𝙒𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙖 𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩.
Here are a few benefits of using this tip:
1. It prevents you from hopping from one book to another
2. It guides your purchase of more books
3. It's easier to remove a book you may not want to read from the list as time goes on.
Have a beautiful week reading a good book! 💖
What other reading issue will you like me to give you strategies on? Write in the comment section.🧡
I'll talk about the first one: RELATIONSHIPS. One of the disadvantages of being a reader is that you will begin to repel certain kinds of people that were comfortable with your old mindset before you began to evolve.
Sometimes, these people are friends, but it's a 'good disadvantage'. It's okay if they cannot understand your ideas, they cannot relate with your new level of thinking and they are not getting comfortable with you anymore.
It is expected to begin to attract a different kind of people because of what you now know. Find comfort in the company of great authors who have results to show for the words written in their books.
So, your belief system is going to be radically transformed as you read more good books. It didn't make sense to people when I became a reading coach, not to even talk of charging for it.
I mean, who pays to learn how to read? Everybody can read?
But today I have trained over 1000 individuals who are so thankful that I gave them actionable strategies and reading is now effortless.
I teach children, parents, adults, I have a community.......God has helped me!
Trust me, people are important. But guard your heart jealousy for out of it flows the issues of life!
Moral lesson: watch your relationships, your idea shouldn't get to the ears of certain people. Also, it matters not just that you're a reader, it matters what you read!
Facebook asked me to share a 2017 memory. It was called my most liked picture of 2017.
I'm not proud to post it. I can't believe I loved the picture 2 years back and it was a big deal to me.🤣🤣
What has happened differently? I have changed! I have grown and that picture can't be my current best picture. Never!😫
Do you also sometimes get surprised when Facebook sends you a memory from many years back?
This is exactly how the mind works, if you continually develop and invest in your mind, your old mindset will not be fascinating anymore.
Why? GROWTH.
To make a child grow, you need to feed the child. If the child doesn't grow after a period of being fed, then you take the child to the doctor.
Your mind is also your child. Growing it has to be intentional as you move from one phase of life to another.
And reading great books make it easier because the information is CONSTRUCTIVE! (I love books for this simple reason)
Yesterday, Apostle Joshua Selman said, "It matters what you read, not just that you're a reader"
In my personal coaching classes, one of the first fundamentals I let my clients know is that you need to structure your information consumption. It makes reading easier!
As I prepare for July 4, I'm more intentional and strategic.
What matter for me is that I help people easily incorporate reading into their daily schedule and it becomes a desired experience more than a chore or a daily obligation.
Have a beautiful weekend!
It's my Father's Birthday 💃!
Happy birthday to we the JOSHUA GENERATION! 🤩
Some say we have been 'brainwashed', if this is what brainwashing is, we choose to be brainwashed!🤣
Thank you for washing our brains with hyssop.😃 For washing our village away from our minds💚.
I am proud to be a member of this global family! 🏅
Happy Birthday Apostle Joshua Selman!

This week, I spent a lot of time helping people solve their reading problems on WhatsApp. It's always an honour.
One of the things I kept repeating is that you don't have to put yourself under pressure, and it's okay to buy more books than you can read per time.
Buy them and keep them. Just make sure they're segmented according to subject matter.
Take life one book at a time!
Anticipate July 4.🤩🤩🤩
if you're not reading any book currently you should consider one of these books, they are amazing!
Which one of them have you read?
When the books are well selected, the kids will love them and explore.
Small gist, yesterday at YOUNG READERS ACADEMY, I showed the kids a part of the encyclopedia where it shows different places in the world. Then one kid tried to say "encyclopedia", and we all heard ENCYCLO-DIGITAL😂😂😂 Another kid said ENCY # # , I'm not sure of what I heard.
Sometimes I'm the comedian, sometimes they're the comedians.
But in any case, the kids love it and their parents are glad they keep reading the books we send to them.
Like I say, they may not 'like' it, they will 'LOVE' it!!!
Let's help you make reading fun without stress!

This morning, I finished a book titled The Power of Favour by Joel Osteen, I began experiencing favour miracles from the first day I started the book.
Here are I few things I've held on to:
•God was not voted into power.
•No parliament sat to enthrone •God.
•God in a class of Himself alone.
•God wasn't made, no one breathe into him.
• God doesn't consult anyone to make decisions
•God is not seated on his throne scratching his head and wondering what to do about the situation of life
I can go on and on.
But the limit to which he can do exploits with us is the limit our minds allow Him. This has led me on a journey to radically transforming my mind. Because my mind is the speedometer!
To whom much is given, much is certainly expected!
They spoke against God saying "Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?" Ps 78:19
Take the limits off God. He's not 'too' faithful to fail, HIS name is FAITHFUL!
I hope this blesses you!
Happy Sunday!🥰
Have we met?....💖💖💖

Yaaay! It's almost 10 and we are ready for the reading class in the Kid Reader Academy..💃💃
I woke up this morning to a beautiful feedback from the free eBook I wrote for parents.....🥳🥳🥳
If you haven't downloaded it, the link is in my bio ✌️
Tag a parent too.....🥰🥰
WHY DO MY KIDS DISLIKE READING? 7 reasons kids dislike reading and solutions that will get them loving up on books.
This e-book is my gift to parents in celebration of children's day. It's a guide to make their children less than 10 years old become book lovers.
For some reason there were a lot of technical faults around finishing this book and I felt very bad for not being able to release it on children's day.
Burt.....it's done and you can now have access to it!💃💃
A big shout out to and for their efforts in making this book a success.... Thank you 💖💖
Here is the link to download it. https://bit.ly/whydoesmychilddislikereading
It's only a 15 minutes read!
Thank you for all your support!😀
😂I wasn't expecting this video, but it made me laugh really hard! Kids learn fast!😂
The book WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE teaches the power of imagination (Marx sailing to the forest), politeness (his naughty statement to his mother), forgiveness (sailing back to meet his food hot), leadership (his control of the wild things and his ability to make them love him), understanding times and seasons (his leaving the forest).
Inside all of us is hope. Inside all of us is fear, inside all of us is ADVENTURE!
Have a blessed week ahead!
