They often say that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and I agree.

I have seen people newly discover business and they end up on this religious mission to convert EVERYONE around them into Business.

Business is one of those things, you either get it or you don't. A friend (who so happens to be my mentor too) who runs a 7 figure company told me a secret that I share with people serious to implement it

"There is never a money problem, only a wisdom problem.
Don't pray for money anymore.
Pray for wisdom and you'll never have trouble with money again." -- JH


It amazes me how this eludes people on a daily basis. People are struggling and suffering due to ignorance, a lack of knowledge if you will.

Look. Not everyone gets the whole FL mindset. Most think we're a couple sandwiches short of a picnic. Move in silence and only entertain those who truly understand you. Stop telling everyone everything. Be quiet about your goals, progress and execution.

Victory is MUCH sweeter when you can show the finished hardcopy of the book, rather than talk big about it.
