Attend only the school of wealth

        John was an average student in at school, who did a certificate in training and got a job as a trainer in major firm. After about five years he was on about 20.000 a year and was doing well. After about eight years he was on 100.000 a year, was paying off a house. Then he started his own training business and retired in three years – at age 35.

            John was pretty average in all the usual measures of school success. No-one would have picked him as someone who would retire at 35. But he had something that made the difference. He knew, and did, many of the right things for developing wealth.

            Wealth education is difficult to get. The problem is that no formal school of wealth exists. Wealth education is usually acquired by trial and error, by risk-taking, by losses and wins. This can be very time-consuming and very costly. Both financially and emotionally. Every owner of a failed business can vouch for that. The only way to avoid these costly mistakes is to find a successful person who will pass this education on to you.

            However, having it passed on to you is very rare. The people who have this knowledge are too few, and too bus, to be able to stop and help others learn. The people who desperately need wealth education cannot afford to pay the tight teachers what they are worth. And unfortunately, these skills can’ t be picked up overnight. They usually required intimate knowledge and take years to lean.

            To make it worse, in our world of instant gratification, most people don’t see an investment in their education as something worthwhile, especially when the pay-off could take more than ten years. It all becomes too hard. It is much easier to sell your time in short bursts of a week or so, and collect pay cheque.
