Take Charge Of Your Education One of the most important moments in my life was when I was sitting at a conference listening to a millionaire on stage talking about his keys to success... And I’ll never forget what he said: He spent more than $10k/yr on his education… outside of post-secondary school! He had his bachelor’s degree and was probably in his 40’s - and he was still spending a HUGE amount on growing and developing himself. He spent more than $10k a year on coaching, seminars, conferences, books, and courses created by people he looked up to who were getting and doing what he wanted to get and do. It was that simple, he said. I’ve taken this to heart, and you should too. If you want to practically guarantee your success, get your dream job, and create the life of your dreams - never stop investing in yourself. 2. Get A Mentor A few years ago I was fortunate to build relationships with a few key people who would become my mentors… And I can honestly say that I would not be where I am today without them. They helped me launch my career, and opened doors that I didn’t know where even there. They gave me the confidence to chase my dreams… And the tools to get there. So if you have big dreams, but you’re not sure how to get there - then find someone who has done what you want to do, and find a way to get them to mentor you. Most people are more than willing to help the next generation succeed - because they had mentors along the way as well. 3. Follow The Great Ones Here’s a small tidbit of wisdom that could change your life: You don’t have to figure everything out yourself. Many have come before you, and many more will come afterwards... all you have to do is follow the path laid before you by the Great Ones, the leaders in your field - those who have done what you want to do. If you’re a bit stubborn, like I once was, then you’ll find this truth to be relieving. Like a weight lifted from your shoulders. I accepted it years ago by finding a mentor and following his formula, and it led to me getting my dream job - and now, a few years later… I’m helping others follow his formula to get their dream jobs as well. So, wherever you are in life and whatever your dreams are - take charge of your education, find a mentor, and follow the Great Ones, and you’ll practically guarantee your success.
