Who Should You Listen To?

Would you take real-estate advice from a homeless person?
Would you take marital advice from someone who's been divorced 11 times?
Would you take diet tips from someone who's obese and gaining weight?

There is no shortage of opinions today. In the "Age of Information", everyone seems to have an opinion nearly any topic you bring up. It's part of living in a society where information is so available. Which is good!

But, the problem is that some forms of media -- like the Internet -- make no distinction between good advice and bad advice. If an uninformed or unintelligent person has $20 a month for internet access, they can get the same amount of spotlight as someone who's brilliant.

And so the #1 skill you can learn today is "discernment". Knowing who to listen to and who to ignore.

And this applies to learning to become more prosperous. If you want to become wealthy and successful, make sure you're spending your time with people who ARE wealthy and successful.

There are three kinds of people giving advice:

1. Those who have never done it
2. Those who have done it and failed
3. Those who have done it and succeeded.

Make sure you spend your time ONLY taking instruction from people in the 3rd group. They're the only ones who can show you the path!

P.S. This post applies to me and this blog as well! Fortunately, I'm in the 3rd group and you can rest assured that the information on this blog is the same information that assisted me in becoming wealthy, prosperous and abundant! But, weigh my words for yourself -- be responsible for your own mindset!
