Jim Rohn has entered the chat…
Jim Rohn talks about the law of numbers and when you’re around long enough you get this ratio going.
He would recommend a book that had changed his life both financially and spiritually, out of the 100 in the audience 10 would buy. Of the ten that we’re smart enough to buy, only 5 would actually end up reading the book. From the 5 only one would have the discipline to implement the changes into his or her life.
Knowledge by itself is the precursor.
You have to first get the information because it can effect your life, but it alone is not enough.
As Tony says, “Knowledge is trumped every day by execution.” You need to then act on that knowledge or you let it go to waste.
