Round 3: Knowledge edition.

---

Knowledge, the basics, round 3:

Now that we have addressed the fact that general knowledge is not enough to succeed in life, let’s learn what moves the needle forward.

The best part? You can learn everything by yourself.

No need for a university or a fancy diploma from a business school. 

And if you think you don’t have the time for it, just stay with the ProfitZine, and all the knowledge you need will reach you.

You don’t need to know it all:

You will not acquire all the knowledge even if you want to try.

As you learn, remember you don’t need to know it all.

You need to understand the core principles of a subject.

After that, you progress through action and keep building knowledge through experiences.

If you experience and test, you will know for sure.

Core principles: (business example)

How businesses actually work; How to start a new business; How to improve an existing business; and How to use business-related skills to accomplish your personal goals. – From this, you go to action!

As to methods, there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble. – Harrington Emerson

-> No matter what they tell you, you don’t need an MBA (Master of Business Administration).

Combining books and trying stuff will take you far ahead in the business game.

Knowledge is power:

The single most powerful asset we all have is our mind.

If it is trained well, it can create enormous wealth.

The ones in power have always controlled knowledge.

Since the era of kings, the ones on top have had different educations than the ones on the bottom.

They didn’t even eat the same foods…

Only the priests knew how to read the Bible until the Bible was translated into English because peasants were never taught Latin.

Today, it’s financial literacy, that’s how they enslave us!

But there’s no limit to what you can learn now. No subject is out of reach; some just require more time and effort.

After learning, don´t forget to be bold.

Knowing it’s not enough…

-> You can have excellent knowledge and be intelligent.

But you also need to be bold because they are the ones who usually win.

Books and Living Testaments:

The importance of books: 

We live in a society of uneducated, unskilled individuals. 

Books are important because they give you information. 

They are not necessary, but they are great tools for learning and taking guided action, especially when you understand the author's essence and choose books with intention.

The importance of living testaments:

By living testaments, I mean people like Luke Belmar, Codie Sanchez, and Iman Gadzhi. Real-life and real-time proof that whatever you want to accomplish is possible.

All share their journey so far, and you know what that is for us? 

Their 10%. The core principles to follow because their testament is our blueprint for success.

To educate educators! But the first ones must educate themselves! And for these, I write. – Friedrich Nietzsche

-> Despite the web being a great source of information, you should read a book occasionally. If you want to learn, you need to study, and books work even when electricity goes down.

Last thoughts:

For anyone looking to start a business or wondering about the whats and the hows, with no experience, whatever being an entrepreneur, Josh has got you,

To pretty much replace business school and debt altogether, you can read “The Personal MBA” by Josh Kaufman.

The primary purpose of this book is to teach everyone what a couple of Ivy League colleges do and more. Students might get the best connections initially, but this book comes with real-life experience.

It gives you mental models of the key subjects for commercial success, from value creation, marketing, sales, teamwork, systems, and finances.

-> Don’t like to read books? Find your way. 

But life is not just about doing what we like…

See you in a week.

Your Zine.
