All of my mentors put a very high priority on Education but not the kind of education one received in the traditional schools of higher learning. One of my mentors when asked would say that the only degree he had was a PhD in Life!
Another mentor, a doctor, with many, many degrees and a highly respected Cancer Specialist had printed behind his Network Marketing Business Card “Even thermometers have degrees but look where we shove them”. If you are too young to get this one ask your parents where they used to shove thermometers in the old days.
Every mentor of mine stressed this third and most critical secret – no matter the cost:
3- Get an Education
It is said that when Knowledge Meets Opportunity, Success Usually Follows! Today there is virtually no reason why one cannot attain all the knowledge they desire on any subject.
The old excuse that it is too expensive, does not hold true today. Given the Internet, Libraries and Free Seminars that are available to everyone, getting an education has never been more affordable.
The other excuse of having no time is probably more valid but should not be acceptable. We should always be able to MAKE time for the important things in life. And that is the key! How important is success to you? How strong is your desire for success (the fruit on your tree)? If the desire is strong and you believe it is important then you will wake up early, when everyone else is in bed and execute your Education Action Plan that will follow next.
We have an awesome opportunity in our hands. So if you are not already successful or if you are not as successful as you would like to be (and that’s where I am) then it might be a case of Opportunity seeking more Knowledge, rather than knowledge meeting Opportunity.
I hope you decide to Grow Now and Grow Fast so you can take advantage of the opportunity at hand.
Next I will share the Action Plan my mentor created for me. To say that it has drastically changed my life in every way would be an understatement.
