  • ATG 175: How I Read 100 Books In A Year

    ATG 175: How I Read 100 Books In A Year
    Apr 29 2024

    How do I plow through 100 books yearly? Here's a sneak peak: start with your shelf, hit the library, track your progress on Goodreads, and always have a new book queued up. Why do I read so much? Well, reading makes you more likely to be a millionaire. That’s a cool benefit. According to socio-economist Randall Bell, “Those who read seven or more books per year are 122 percent more likely to be millionaires as opposed to those who never read.” I like those odds.

    In this episode, I could only cover 9 tips, but if you want all 36 of my tips, you can download my free guide! Check it out at www.JonAcuff.com/read.

    Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara
    The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper

Goals for the Masses

Setting goals? this is the podcast that you NEED! I have always been a goal nerd THEN I retired early and I got lost. Listening to Jon reminded me the power of goals. I am back in grad school and setting personal goals. Suddenly the happiness of making and achieving is back. Halfway through AND a 4.0 Thanks Jon!

Excellent podcast for a year of change!

Full of excellent, actionable content that keeps you entertained until the very end. Jon is very personable and down to earth while also pushing listeners to live out their best lives vs. settling for what's currently in front of them. Great master class for beginners on how to make and accomplish goals. However, it's also a great listen for experienced leaders who just need a gentle reminder of why we set and fight for goals every day.

Jon is authentic (the highest compliment I give)!

I have now listened to about 25 episodes of All it Takes is a Goal. Jon is lively, easy to listen to, easy to get addicted to, very easy to learn from, and fun! I have come back and forth to this show over the last 3-4 weeks, because I get distracted by the books he and his guest speak about (one of the best parts of his show)! I just finished the episode where he and his daughter interview each other, the respect, love, honor, and pride in his daughters voice when talking to and about her father was the last motivating factor I needed to finally write this review. Well done Jon, thank you for being the type of human being everyone can look up to, and presenting your authentic self to us in the show.

Very Helpful

This episode was very helpful. I downloaded it to listen to again. Now I think I can hack my way to a few goals that require a little more effort. I can also redeem some really hurtful situations that leave me feeling awful.
