Points to Keep In Mind

  • Scan at least 3 words at a time, to read faster with better comprehension
  • Use a pacer when reading, and set the pace for your eyes to follow
  • You will make more money if you know more languages
  • If you have children, one of the best gifts you can give them is an education in different languages while they’re young
  • Total immersion, without all of the rules, etc, is the best way to learn a language
  • To learn something, it has to feel important
  • See life as an adventure, rather than an accomplishment
  • Your goal is not always to be right, your goal is to figure out what is right no matter what it is
  • It’s exhausting to work on something that you’re not passionate about
  • A business partner is like a marriage, so you need to very carefully vet anyone you are considering bringing on as a partner
  • It’s better to be rich than to be right
  • Approach life with the idea that you can learn to do anything
  • Mentors are essential. Learn from them instead of trying to reinvent the wheel
  • Working hard is only 25% of the formula
  • Tools are essential to the process of making money online
  • Teaching people how to do things, and how to make money doing those things, is one of the easiest and fastest ways to start making money online
  • A lot of people take for granted what they do for their job, when there are actually more ways to make money with it than you may be thinking of
  • If there are no competitors for your business, it might be because there is no demand for it
  • A lot of times, it’s a good idea to choose a market where there are competitors, but you know what differentiates you
