Information to Principles

Information comes and goes, principles endure!

The most valuable product in this new economic age, the entrepreneurial community age, is information from the right sources. 

The right information leads to the right principles. 

Here are a few pieces of valuable information.

1.      The future belongs to those who can see and pursue opportunities before they become obvious. Imagine what is like to be able to see and not have vision.

2.      Those that take swift action will always leave those that don’t breathing the dust. Knowing and not doing is not knowing. Knowing how to read and not reading makes a fellow no different than those that don’t know how to read. Action comes from knowledge and it leads to experience.

3.      There is no competition for a man with a dream; none, zippo. Dreams propel us to do what is uncomfortable, the uncommon, and the unfamiliar. Those that take the hard life early on will have an easier and easier life later on. What is your dream and are you willing to chase your dream?

4.      The largest generation of Americans, the 76 million baby boomers, is aging and soon will be out of the workforce. Are we learning by mentoring with them? Are you serving them?

5.      America is entering a new economic age, the entrepreneurial community age. If we ignore this new age wealth will ignore us. A genius in a downtrend will lose to a moron on an uptrend.

6.      Security is no longer in holding a job like it used to be in the industrial age; security now is in the quality of our thinking and the speed of our learning and doing. Security is found in self-education. The wealthy in this new economic age will be those that invest heavily in themselves, in their own continued education.

7.      Getters are always at the mercy of givers. The world will always belongs to the givers.

Be blessed and be a blessing to others!
