I've spent a lot of money learning and studying the game of business. Got a long ways to go. But it's had a tremendous impact on my earnings, net worth and opportunities. Take Dan Kennedy for example, I've probably spent 10k on his stuff in the last 2 years. Every dollar was well spent. How many other people would have spent 10k to learn (from just one guy)? Not many. And I believe there is a direct correlation between the money spent to learn and grow and your income and opportunity.
It could be argued that 10k is an awful lot of money when you are just getting started or when you are broke. Agreed. So here's the solution. Buy the book. Dan Kennedy must have 10 books on the market. Every one of them worth reading. Every one of his books is packed full of actionable ideas worth 10's to 100's of thousands of dollars if implemented.
Problem is, it seems the all the vast majority of people do is talk and set new year’s resolutions.
If you can't afford the advanced newsletters, advanced courses, DVD programs, seminars, coaching, masterminds... no worries. Start with the book. Implement the ideas you can buy for 10 bucks. Your income (and confidence) will increase. Next. Re-read the books and implement more. Before you know it you will be able to afford any coaching program you want.
Until you start doing it, implementing and learning, you'll never be able to afford to. Start with the book. All the guru's have one. They've all discovered the same thing. Books build instant credibility and lead to speaking gigs... and big paydays. For $10 you can't go wrong... especially with a Dan Kennedy book.
