Knowledge Equals Money

“Five years from today you’re going to be the same person making the same money except for the books you read and the people you meet.” – Charlie “Tremendous” Jones

Where do you want to be five years from now? How about ten years from now? The first step is to identify your goal. Zig Ziglar says that if you have no goal you’ll hit it every time.

Do you want to make $50,000 per year or $150,000? Do you want to be driving the same car and living in the same home? Do you want to be working at the same job?

Whatever your goals, continuous learning will help get you there. Dr. Tom Stanley, in his book “The Millionaire Next Door”, says the average millionaire reads at least one non-fiction book each month.

If a new career is where you see yourself heading, first look inward to discover how you are made and what you are best suited for. Once you begin to discover your true direction in life don’t stop developing your plan. Even if a transition looks to be three to four years away you can begin now.
A quick sampling of classes at my local community college shows that for less than $60 in most cases I can take a class to become a bank teller, certified bookkeeper, medical office transcriptionist, home inspector, EMT, travel planner, or interior designer. I can also take classes to learn how to sell on eBay (want to start your own eBay business?), how to create graphics, websites or multimedia, how to start my own wedding consultant business or even how to parent positively.

The sky really is the limit when it comes to changing your direction in life. My team and I take classes and attend seminars quite frequently. This week I am headed to Nashville with one of my coaches to spend some time with my friend Dan Miller and other 212 Connection members. If you attend any classes to further your learning at the local community college, you may even see my team and me there trying to learn all that we can.
