TAKING EARLY ADVANTAGE OF THE QBQ LIFESTYLE BY JUSTIN MCDANIEL

Fortunately, the vast majority of people who will inevitably read this blog were introduced to “QBQ”, by John Miller at a relatively young age. Undoubtedly, this book was an eye-opening read for many of us, teaching us lessons that we will remember for years to come.

I should preface the remainder of this by letting you know that my grandfather is up and a ways my best friend. All my life he has blessed me with knowledge, wisdom, and a good laugh whenever I needed one. Just before the start of the fall semester, I was lucky enough to take a week-long trip with him to Florida.

I took advantage of this immense amount of free time I would have, to read a book assigned to me. A book I knew nothing about until I opened it. That book as many of you might have guessed, was “QBQ”.

To be blunt, the book completely changed my mentality and the mindset with which I live every day. in one sitting, I read from cover to cover. I couldn't get enough of QBQ, you could say for a moment, I was consumed with it. I asked my grandpa who loves books if he’d like to read it, telling him how meaningful and impactful it was to me. He sat down the next morning to read and immediately he also, was hooked.

My Grandpa and I have talked about QBQ several times over the past few months. Being him, obviously, he makes a joke just about every time we bring up the book, telling me he wishes the book would have come out back in the ’60s and giving me a rundown on all the things he would've changed in his life, none of which appropriate to speak of in this blog. Yet, the most important thing we talk about every time is that I, along with anyone reading this blog, have such a distinct advantage by reading that book as early on in life as we did. While it may be very corny to say, living the QBQ lifestyle really is a full-time job, one that I’m hoping we will all take advantage of.
