Today I am off to a seminar in Orlando and it made me think about how some people ( usually the unsuccessful ones) think they know everything and don’t invest in their education. Really smart and successful people always seem to invest in their education ….They are looking for that “slight edge”
Often times I attend a 2 or 3 day event and only get 1 good idea. Now lets say I earn 1,000,000 per year and this little item I learned gives me a 10% increase in income when I implement it. And lets also say this event cost me 5000 to attend. The math is really simple- I earn an extra 100,000 for my 5000 investment
Let’s just say I get a 1% increase- that is still 10,000 for a 5000 investment. This is what I mean by that slight edge…
Let me rattle off some excuses here and see which ones have passed thru your mind.
1. Can’t afford to go
2. I already know all that
3.Can’t take the time
4. Can’t afford the registration
5. They are all full of #*&$%
The most vaild of all of these excuses is probably # 5.. so you owe it to yourself to ONLY Listen to real experts instead of “pretend ones” When I was learning the information marketing business I “invested” in attending seminars given by Dan Kennedy and went on to build several multi-million dollar on -line and off-line businesses..
Could I afford it – NO —- Could I afford the air and hotel– NO
Could I afford NOT TO GO — again a resounding NO .. See I felt that this information would help me get where I wanted to be fastest.. I not only attended the Dan Kennedy events but I also went on to buy each and every program he offered.
Then I was lucky enough to take another major shortcut and have the benefit or being mentored by Bill Glazer and went on to invest in all of his programs. Here they are if you want to check them out—-
At the time I was over 43,000 in debt just in credit cards and my future as a loan officer and mortgage company owner was not looking too bright. So why would I incur more debt? The answer is simply that in my mind I was already in trouble and close to bankruptcy.. So what’s the difference… My feeling was that if I am going down I am at least going to have a shot at turning things around.
And that is exactly what this information did for me… It turned everything around.
So if you have a chance to get knowledge , coaching , programs etc. from people you have checked out and know are “true” gurus than go for it.. Your bank account and family will thank you just like mine has.
