I am reading a lot of Steve Siebold at the moment. In his books he constantly mentions that the World Class (top 5% in any field) purchase a hugely disproportional amount of education material every year. He is taking about books, audiobooks, study courses and seminars.

'Average people spend less then $10 annually on books. The top 1% of income earners in America invest nearly $10,000 annually on books and other learning resources.'

I find it fascinating that those who have already 'made it' still retain the habit, and also exceed others who are still trying to make it, in their constant learning.

What are peoples thoughts on this?

I have included a poll so people can include how much material they go through in an average year.
