Become a Self Developer
I'd like you to take some time and consider your views on life. Their views on personal development. Especially your views on education. Many of us go to school for years and during the whole of our childhood we study and we read to learn enough information to go move up to big school. Then we read and learn to pass our exams which will enable us to progress onto further education or to get a job.
Some people go to college and they will willingly study, 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 chosen 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 it was over 100.
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 work on their attitude to life. Then I will lend them a book. A book from authors like Og Mandino, Harv eker or Napoleon Hill. 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 "Its not my cup of tea". I will try to tell 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, but it's not their cup of tea" 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.They will continue to moan about their lives, and I will continue to give them the same advice until they are ready to change. 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 , a good father, good husband or businessman because the investment is worth it. I write my own E-books from the lessons I have learned 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!! It's not about the cost. It's a very small price.
