Education is the KEY

"Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school"
Albert Einstein

I saw this quote today and got to thinking about education. I graduated from high school and then college years ago. My “formal” education was over at that point. For a while my learning stopped. OK, I learned things here and there. Who can help but learn some things when you have as many kids as I do. BUT, I wouldn’t consider it a type of learning that made me a better person or improved who I was. That is, until I got involved in network marketing. The 1st couple companies I got involved with – I totally sucked at. But they did encourage learning. Learning from some of the pros. I read books and listened to messages from people like Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, Michael Clouse and Chris Widener. I look back and realize that because of that “learning”, I am no longer the person I was before. I have grown and matured in ways I never would have without that form of learning. This has been a practice I have continued and totally benefited from.

Since getting involved with Empower Network, they have also encouraged reading daily. It is one of the 8 core commitments. Core Commitment #7: Read Daily “Leaders Are Readers”. Not something that will be hard because I have been pre-conditioned to do it.

Today I started reading Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill again for the 3rd or 4th time. This book always has something awesome to learn from it. Chapter 1 – Thoughts are Things really brought back how important my thought life is. My thoughts are so powerful they will either make or break me. If I truly believe 100% within my soul that I will succeed at something, and I don’t waver, my subconscious will find a way to make it happen. The key is to have a definite major purpose, a coveted goal, a burning desire, a passion. Napoleon said “I had learned, from years of experience with men, that when a man really desires a thing so deeply that he is willing to stake his entire future on a single turn of the wheel in order to get it, he is sure to win.” Consequently, I need to have a definite major purpose. I need to have something that I want so badly that I can taste it. For me, my burning desire is to have the financial freedom so I can travel, take pictures and write. I want the freedom to be able to do what I want to do. For the 1st time in a long time I feel the hope that my freedom is right around the corner. With Empower Network I know it will happen. My goal is to retire from my J-O-B on or before my next birthday. Will I make it happen? You bet I will.

Do you have a dream? A goal? A burning desire? A passion? Maybe, just maybe Empower Network is your ticket to fulfilling that dream. Napoleon said in his book, “Psychologists have correctly said that “when one is truly ready for a thing, it puts in its appearance.”

Do you think maybe it just has???
