The biggest success killer - I know that

Today there is so much information available at the tips of your fingers, quite literally.  You can Google any subject and find dozens if not hundreds of web sites or articles about your topic.  Many watch TV and pick up on the latest sports, weather, trends, etc...  When we talk with our friends we like to show how much we know about the latest topics.  We have all this information but the real question is what are we doing with it?  Do you really know something that you saw online fifteen minutes ago?  How many of us are really dedicated to "knowing" much of anything these days?

When you hear something like you can make money at online marketing what is your first response?  Most would say, Yes, I already know that.  But are they doing anything with that knowledge?  Do you really know something you have never practiced?  Albert Einstein put it best when he said, "Information is not knowledge."  This is the information age where we can find anything about just about any topic we desire.  Knowledge is different from information.  Information is cheap but knowledge is expensive because knowledge is only obtained through action and doing something with the information.

In the Epistle of James we read the following in the first chapter verses 22 to 25:


  22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
  23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
  24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
  25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 

T. Harv Eker states that the biggest success killer is the phrase, "I know that."  These are the people that are informed but do not act on the information they have and they deceive themselves that they have knowledge when in reality they know nothing.

Be one of the few that take action with the information you have available and make that information knowledge that you can use to help you and others.  Attend T. Harv Eker's Millionaire Mind Intensive to begin your quest for knowledge:
