Basic and Simple Ways to Start Reading More

You might already have heard these tips or ideas. Or maybe you haven't. But anyway, the ideas here are not complicated.

These are so simple that it might feel like they don't actually work, except it works super well.

Now I am not going to give you 10 or 15 ideas and paralyze you with excess ideas needlessly, that you end up not implement any of it at all (I know this happens to me and to a lot of people). I'm going to give you 3 ideas that are so simple and work so well.


(1) Keep books at every place possible. 

In your bed, your chair, your desk, your bathroom, any place you can think of.

If you are reading a book and want to focus only on that till you complete it, then keep that book at the place that is easily accessible to you. 


(2) Ask questions in mind.


Questions like, why did author wrote a book about it? What great things would be in this book? What if I read it and apply it in my life, what positive changes would I be able to see?

Asking questions in mind and out loud as well is weapon of curiosity. 

Like, be curious. But how? 

The answer is, by asking questions.

Any TV series or movie or video you watch or any news you read, the bigger driver is having apparent or hidden curiosity, a desire to know. But the only problem in the examples given above is that they don't actually help you in any way, except few exceptions.  

So you already have the curiosity. Now all you need to do is directing it in the right things.


(3) Follow people who read more than you do.


Surround yourself with people reading way more than you. Follow them on Instagram, Twitter, Quora, any place that have readers. 

Also physically surround yourself with people reading more than you do. 

This way you will start or keep reading more and more. Simple.

So there you have it, 3 simple ways you can apply right away to start reading more.

It looks easy but don't confuse simple with easy. You need to put in some effort to implement it and a bit of discipline to stick with it and you'll see dramatic changes for sure.


Thanks for reading it all the way to the end. It means a lot to me.

Introduction

Welcome.  The first thing you read is the name of the blog. So let me explain what the name mean. The name "Forward Focus" represents that you only look forward and not anywhere else.  Now there is much broader explanation behind the name, so maybe later in one of the post we'll go deeper into that.

Four Most Common and Avoidable Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make in the Shark Tank Pitch

Shark Tank is an American business reality television series that gives any entrepreneur a chance to pitch their business (not just idea) and ask for money in return for fair percentage of equity in their business. A lot of entrepreneurs get a deal out of tank,  a lot of them don't. Some entrepreneurs get exactly what they were asking for and few gets more money with more valuation and more sharks in the deal. But a lot of entrepreneurs don't get the deal or they lose some of the sharks because of one of these mistakes.  I haven't watched all of the Shark Tank episodes but from the episodes I have watched, these were the mistakes I found that were mostly deal breakers and could have been avoided most certainly. 1. Valuing their company extremely higher than they can prove it This is, I would say, the number one point most sharks struggle to deal with: Entrepreneurs have valued their company way higher than they can prove. Because of absurdly high valuation that sharks can...
