Same Advice, Different Impact

Interestingly, a lot of people claim they know how to be rich, yet many of them stay poor.
The thing about these know-it-all people is, they are not open to the fact that there could be something missing to their equations. They just don’t see that if they keep doing what they are currently doing, they are going to continue to get the same results.

Until today, I still have this kind of bad attitude (smile). I guess it’s partly due to stupid ego.
The people who are willing to learn, who are brave enough to explore new territories are the ones who will prosper in the end.

In the 18th century, a group of brave explorers set sail from England, not knowing where they were heading and found the Promised Land – America. Imagine where we would be today (for those living in America) if that group had held on to their beliefs that the world is flat and if you sailed too far, you’d fall off the edge.

I’ve never fly an airplane before but I know a pilot will learn about what to do when flying through storms in flight school. But it is by actually flying through a storm that HE LEARNS.
Want to know something that sets the rich people apart from the rest?

They don’t mind going through the same learning process over and over again. Yeah, the darn boring process. For instance, they make it a point to attend seminars on wealth despite already being wealthy because they know that if they can pick up even just one new thing to try out, it would be worth it. Really, it’s true.

Try this- the next time you attend a seminar, watch out for those who go to back of the room to buy the speaker’s product at the end of the presentation. If you attend another seminar and he happens to attend too, I bet you’ll see the same guy buying again.

Funny thing is, the know-it-all will say that they already know what will be shared during these seminars and they can’t afford to waste their time learning the same thing all over again.
That’s true too. I know because I was in that shoe- I was trying to grow my business but it seems to be ’stuck’. I KNOW how to fix it and yet I can’t change it. Well, sometimes, even if it’s the same information that can solve your problem, but when you got it from a valuable source that you trust, you will see it differently.

Put it this way… if you believe in God and suddenly, you met God in person and God gives you the advice to appreciate your life- I think you’ll do it with no questions asked although, you already know that you should appreciate your life.
Make sense?
As we have ascertained earlier, you can’t expect to be doing the same thing over and over again and expect to get different results. Something has to change in the whole system in order to break the cycle and get better results.
Therefore if you think that you know everything, if you don’t stop being so full of yourself and open up your mind to receive new things, how are you ever going to improve your results? A sound pretty harsh isn’t it? Well, wake up – that’s call reality.
