Educate yourself my friends!!
I`d like you to take some time and consider peoples views on life. Especially your own. Many of us go to school for years and the whole of our childhood we study and we read to learn enough information to go onto further education or to get a job. Some people go to college and they will willingly study and read to learn about their chosen career or increase their qualifications to get into university where they read and study to learn a specific career to become a doctor or whatever they have choosen to do for the rest of their lives. And at no point did they ever question the education process or the need to read and learn from those who know. How many books did you read at school? I can`t remember either but there were probably hundreds!
However I have so many conversations with people working their J.O.B (Just Over Broke) who come and ask me questions such as " Your into personal development and your ambitious. I hate my job , I`m always broke. What shall I do ?" I will coach them as a friend and I will be honest with them and tell them if they want financial success they need to read books written by successful people . And I will lend them a book. A book just like the ones I have suggested on my books page. A book written by a multi millionaire that will teach you if applied, to become financially free. To develop the traits of the rich and the successful! Do they read it ? Not at all. I will get the book back unread and they will tell me "It`s not my cup of tea". I will ask them that surely working for a boss you don`t like or being broke is not your `cup of tea`. Surely reading one book a month is worth the price to you? One month down the road I will have the same person tell me that they are broke or sick of their job . I again tell them "You need to read the autobiographies and success books!" They tell me "they know" and they continue with their old habits still complaining and passing life by. To know and not to do is not to know .
Some of These people will spend £40 on a pair of jeans but they wont buy 1 book a month at a cost of £10. They can`t afford it. Is your future worth the investment of £10 a month?
I will buy at 2-3 books a month written by successful authors to learn how to be financially successful or a good father, good husband or businessman because the investment is worth it. I write my own E-books from the lessons I have learnt and continue to learn but I will always read. Because they are habits that improve my life and help me to grow.
So if you are struggling financially and having a pitty party about how bad your life is, Buy 1 less pair of jeans and buy books and read about success! Invest in yourselves!!
All the best
