Knowledge isn't power and success, or is it!

There are many people who feel they lack the education or knowledge necessary to be successful at something new. They feel the only way to succeed at it is to learn and know everything possible about it. They must know every answer to every question that could be asked. They feel that general and specialized knowledge is power and this is what will make them successful and wealthy. I would love to say this is true, but it isn't, knowledge is only potential power. You could have all the knowledge in the world and still be poor. The key to wealth and success when it comes to knowledge is learning how to organize and direct it into a plan of action.

Now some people that are new to online business opportunities think they need to know everything about their products and company. Well the good news is you don't have too, all you need to know is the basics. Don't worry about learning everything. When you feel you have to learn everything, you really never get started with your business. All you have to know is were to direct those people asking the questions to find the answers. Many of the wealthiest men of our time didn't have the knowledge of every aspect of their business. They just organized and directed knowledge into a plan for success and wealthy. One of the easiest and most popular ways they organized knowledge is with a mastermind group. A mastermind group is a diverse group of people all specialized in there field brought together for a common purpose and belief. Henry Ford and Thomas Edison were masters at using mastermind groups. Both of these men combined had an education of a sixth grader. However they were some of the wealthiest and most successful men of our time. They had better things to do then fill their brains with all of the knowledge necessary for their success. They know they could find other people that had the knowledge they needed to be success in their field.

However, if you love obtaining new knowledge make sure it is specialized knowledge and not general knowledge. Don’t fill your head with general knowledge. If you do that you will be taking up valuable space. Also after you have learned the specialized knowledge, make sure to apply. You always want to apply what you have learner. Otherwise you are just wasting your time and energy. If you never apply what you have learned and just keep accumulating it. What good is learning it in the first place? Also once you have applied the knowledge, don’t be afraid if it fails. You always want to fail forward. Make sure you take the first step and the other foot will follow.

Once you have create a mastermind group of your own or learned the specialized know on your own make sure you create a plan of action to achieve success, wealth or what ever it is you want. I believe this is the biggest reason why most people fail. If you don’t create a plan of action, you are setting yourself up to fail before you even begin. Also you don’t want to plan the plan of your attack. This is want most people do. Just jump right in and plan as you go. You can always readjust and reconfigure as you go. It like the story of the rocket that was launched form earth to the moon. The rocket is programmed with all of the coordinates to travel from point A to B. However, as that rocket travels through space it will veer slightly of track. So the rocket has to continually readjust its coordinates. The same goes for your plan of action, you always want to readjust it or tweak it for success. The most important part is to develop a plan and implement it.
