Every entrepreneur strives to create a successful, profitable company that turns work from a daily chore to a fulfilling personal calling. Checking out the habits and approaches from some of the greats, like Bill Gates or Warren Buffet, may lend a clue to what sets billionaire entrepreneurs apart from the pack.
One habit that Bill and Warren have in common is their love of reading. Gates reads an average of 50 books per year, and he credits reading as "the main way I learn new things and test my understanding." When a Nebraska State student asked Buffet what superpower he would choose, Buffet selected speed reading.
There's no doubt that reading can pique your curiosity and teach you new things, but when a common habit exists between multiple billionaires, it's definitely worth a second look.
