Listening to the right people

If you look at all of the most powerful and successful people you can see one common thread. They are not attending the local motivational seminar like everyone else who wants to get rich is. They have mentors. They read classic books. If you take the most successful people like the past Presidents, and Congress you will find they all have mentors. You can google any politician and see they have a mentor. They all read the classics. Over and over again.

 They do of course have access to better books than the average person however you can tell they read a lot. Just watch CSpan. They read a thousand page bill come on and say I read this last night and they can discuss it among each other in detail! Can the average person do this? The average person reads like one book a year. What comes to mind when you picture Obama, Clinton, Bush with their mentors? Their mentors are super powerful people in the same arena as they are. Obama was given his first job by Henry Kissinger. This guy is so powerful even to this day. They have mentors and that is because they listen only to the right people. If they get an opinion it will be through an organization that studies people and helps you appear to be on their side. They will learn from their mentors. Hillary didn't google how to be powerful in America, she had a mentor. Even Joe Rogan talks about his mentors that helped him become successful. If you find someone mega successful you usually find they have a mentor or got inspired by reading. This is key if you want to learn anything you can do it the fastest by learning from a true master.


You can read books by Zig Ziglar, Abraham Hicks, Napoleon Hill, etc. As long as you know the source comes from people who are already wealthy you will learn fast and pass everyone else. These authors were and are wealthy before selling books. Except Napoleon Hill however he got his information from Andrew Carnegie who was wealthier than most people ever to walk this Earth. That is why if you want to learn you can ignore the crowds and find a true master and learn from them. What field are you in? Find a mentor that is already successful in your field. That is the biggest advantage you can get. Save time on theories and get to the proven methods by learning from someone who has done it and has even been exactly where you are in life.
 Take your favorite subject and find biographies and autobiographies about people who have mastered what you dream of doing. Read them over and over. Find a mentor who has success in what you want to do. You will be given yourself the advantage that it takes to succeed. Most people do everything through trial and error. Few are smart enough to get a mentor that has proven success in their own life at what you want to do. Those who do are the captains of industry, and the most powerful in our government. So many people want to give you their two cents and the information could be good or bad. Since it is theory you wont know until after you try it. If you get a mentor who has proven success at what you want to learn you know what they are telling you is good. Think of it as a learning vehicle do you want to get where you are going faster, with less effort, and a much smoother process. Then be an apprentice. Learn from the true masters. Ignore peoples opinions, and stick to the proven masters who have done it in real life, not theory. Look at the evidence people who have a mentor become President of the United States. That is serious success.
