If you’re tired of what you’re doing, or you’re not making enough, it’s
simply a case of changing the formula via which you make money.
Years ago, when I was 26, I took a weekend class called “How to Buy
Real Estate Foreclosures.” I learned a formula. The next trick was to have
the discipline to actually put into action what I had learned. That is where
most people stop. For three years, while working for Xerox, I spent my
spare time learning to master the art of buying foreclosures. I’ve made
several million dollars using that formula.
So after I mastered that formula, I went in search of other formulas. For
many of the classes, I did not directly use the information I learned, but I
always learned something new.
I have attended classes designed for derivative traders, commodity
option traders, and chaologists. I was way out of my league, being in a
room full of people with doctorates in nuclear physics and space science.
Yet, I learned a lot that made my stock and real estate investing more
meaningful and lucrative.
Most junior colleges and community colleges have classes on financial
planning and buying traditional investments. They are good places to start,
but I always search for a faster formula. That is why, on a fairly regular
basis, I make more in a day than many people will make in their lifetime.
Another side note: In today’s fast-changing world, it’s not so much what
you know anymore that counts, because often what you know is old. It is
how fast you learn. That skill is priceless. It’s priceless in finding faster
formulas—recipes, if you will—for making dough. Working hard for
money is an old formula born in the day of cavemen.
