Round 2: Knowledge edition...

---

Knowledge, the basics, round 2:

General knowledge is acquired through school, life circumstances, and social interactions.

But is it enough?

It depends on the person you want to be and the life you want to live.

For us, ProfitZiners, it is definitely not enough!

The most important message:

You must educate yourself outside society's common knowledge, and there's no way around it.

School does not teach you about law, money, taxes, marketing, sales, human relationships, or how to become an entrepreneur and build your own company.

So, nothing that can truly help your wealth and well-being.

An important concept: 

Knowledge is the vastest word in the world, everything, and I mean everything, is knowledge or… the lack of it. 

And to profit in business and life, you need knowledge.

-> You are already educating yourself outside of the general knowledge. 

Keep it up!

School is the opposite of success:

What do we really learn in our at least 12 years of growing up as a student? 

Besides specific content…

We learn that we are not supposed to make mistakes and must do what we are told to do by others above us.

When we take tests, we need to handle them by ourselves, we can't cooperate to overcome challenges together.

So, you need to do everything on your own, and there's only one correct answer.

It's the opposite of entrepreneurship.

If you're doing math, well, yes, there is just one correct result.

But for real-life problems, there are infinite solutions!

->What about you? 

How much knowledge you have gained so far, and why?

You wanted to explore, or you had to learn? 

You need to find the knowledge you desire.

Knowledge itself is infinite, so it can be unclear where to start or what you need to learn. Here are 3 simple questions to help you:

What interests you?

Use curiosity, it tells you what you want to find out more about and what intrigues you.

What do you want to do?

Use imagination, it tells you what your dreams are and what you desire to experience.

What excites you?

Be conscious, it allows you to identify what gives you energy and that feeling of passion. 

To keep in mind: 

Knowledge solves problems. The lack of it creates chaos.

->If you are already self-educating yourself on what you want and need, congratulations, and keep it up! If not, please answer these questions, and they will jump-start you on your self-education path.

The meaning of knowledge:

 Beliefs by themselves are not knowledge.

 A belief is only what you believe (for some reason), and that reason might not always be true.

 Knowledge is a justified, accurate belief.

How do we justify our beliefs? 

There is no better way than to experience them!

 But let's be honest, we can't experience all the knowledge in action in one lifetime, so we need to help each other.

Most of our knowledge comes from somebody else, and it's easy to confirm its accuracy.

Experts are among the right places to seek information, but what are experts these days where everyone and their AI has an opinion? 

They can be one of 2: someone who spends their life observing, studying, experimenting, and reporting, or someone who lives and embodies with proof the knowledge they have and live by, showing that it is true.

-> We all have our personal beliefs and share many of them as a global community. 

Let's make sure our beliefs are justified and accurate so we can evolve.

Last thoughts:

Beliefs also make us who we are, and we all have beliefs (usually in the form of thoughts) that don't serve us.

Knowledge always serves us, we just need to choose consciously how to use it positively.

Because knowledge is useless if you don't use it, so you need to put it into action, and you will start seeing the results.

-> Analyzing your beliefs does not mean discrediting them. It's a revision of what you believe, how accurate it is, and how it's serving you. Please change what pulls you down, including things you think you can't accomplish.

See you in a week.

Your Zine.
