Think you don't have time or money to read? In this solo episode, I'm tackling the uncomfortable truth a friend confided in me: they dream of being an author but have only read a handful of books since college. Here's my hot take: authors can't afford NOT to be readers. How can we expect anyone to buy and read OUR books if we don't believe reading is valuable? I'm showing you exactly how to slip reading into the cracks of your life – no cabin in the woods required – and how to access incredible books without spending a single penny.
I walk you through free resources that will transform your reading life: maximizing your library card with apps like Libby and Overdrive, unlocking Amazon Prime Reading (it's already included with your membership!), discovering Rebecca Wilson's Business Book Bites YouTube channel for curated business book recommendations, and exploring Amazon's "100 Books to Read in a Lifetime" list. Every book you read is a masterclass in storytelling, structure, and craft. If you've been using time or money as excuses, this episode eliminates every obstacle standing between you and becoming the kind of reader who writes books other people actually want to read. Building your authority starts with turning one page at a time. Easy peasy!
