I have recently been experiencing what you would call a “medical scare” Something is happening and we are not sure if it is very serious or just something that can scare the living daylights out of you.
I’ll keep you posted on that as it progressess but so far– lot’s of needles and I am a REAL BIG BABY when it comes to needles.
This morning I had to go for a physical and blood work before a test procedure I am going for at the end of next week. Spent time with the doctor, did an ekg etc. etc.
Then it came time for me to get my blood test and it got me thinking of all the people in this office.
The receptionist who took my $10.00 co-pay -
The Technician who weighed me– I’m not even going to go into that one but let’s just say I am CONVINCED that the scale is broken even though she said it’s fine.
The nurse
The Doctor
The technician who took my blood
Who makes the most? Guess you need to understand how obesessed I am with money and success to even understand why I would be thinking of that when the needle goes in my arm– But that’s who I am.
You need to become obessessed to achieve your goals.. You can’t just go at it willy nilly and hope. You must LIVE AND BREATHE IT!
So back to the story— Who makes more?
In this case I have to assume it’s the doctor- He literally spent 4 minutes with me and will charge well over 100.00 — If you’ve got a calculator figure out his hourly rate.
Why does the doctor make more?
Simple- He has spent the most amount of time on his education!
Now some of you may know that I barely graduated high school. BUT- I am self -educated in marketing ,salesmanship, persuasion , time management and wealth creation.
Not to brag but between my home and office library I have well over 200,000 dollars worth of systems and courses.
AND Guess what- I am in the top 1 % of earners in this country
THERE IS A DIRECT RELATIONSHIP !
For 2009 I promised myself I would go thru at least 1 book /course a week.
By the way — I also receive almost 12 newsletters each month on these topics not counting the e-mails and e-zines – YES- I SAID OBSSESSED !
But often times these courses and books spend alot of time just trying to make a point which could be made much quicker.
Last month I joined Go Brevity
http://goBrevity.com/SmallBusiness/?x=1987771
It is a 3-4 page summary of an important business book that can be read and acted on within 30 minutes. I have really been enjoying them and wanted to share this tool with you.
It ‘s really pretty inexpensive — but what’s more important it saves you time
See education is important – it determines your income just like it does in my doctors office.
BUT YOU ALSO MUST TAKE ACTION !
This allows me to get right to the important points and lessons of these books
without needing to spend a week on it.. The rest of the time is yours to put what you just learned into action.
So give it a try

Brian,
If you want to lose those pounds and get in shape then I invite you to join me at the local gym. About 6 years ago, I was overweight, high cholesterol, etc. I decided I would do something about it and have been a gym rate 5-6 days a week. My doc says I have never been in better shape. Sure it takes 2-3 hours out of my day in the morning but its cheaper than getting sick from inactivity and bad habits. Good luck.
