Dream makers vs. Dreams breakers: Knowledge

Anyone who has been around me long enough will not be surprised by this week topic, which is Knowledge.

I am going to be really brief on this one because I am exhausted and its really simple.

You cannot succeed in something before you master it. No matter what your goal is and whatever aspect of life it reaches, for you to achieve it, you need to educate yourself about it.

For example, if your goal is to make more money (note that this is not a true goal for reasons cover in previous articles) here are a few areas of study:
- Educate yourself about how to make money.
- Educate yourself on how to make your skills more marketable.
- Educate yourself about the possibility of getting a higher education.
- Educate yourself on how to manage the money you are making right now.
- Educate yourself on different type of investments and how to be a good investor.

Brian Tracy said “To accumulate wealth, you must study and emulate those who have acquired it before you.”

The idea is: No matter what your goal is, chances are there are few people before you who had the same goal. Chances are they have accomplished it and wrote about it. Find that information, that piece of knowledge and put it to good use.

God bless,
