The Secret Of Being Profitable…

I’m afraid the secret to being profitable isn’t the latest ebook, or even one of the many $997 homestudy packages that flood your inboxes as people chase the big commissions.

I’ve bought the homestudy packages, watched the video recordings of seminars, and actually spoken to a couple of the big earners. The one secret I picked up is that all the “gurus” put the secret of the profitable mindset down to reading business books.

Yes, rather than spending $47 on a small pdf file you should be going to amazon and buying real physical books!

Currently I’m reading “Rich Dad Poor Dad” and it’s amazing how the ideas that were generated in the 60’s still apply today, and has really helped me to get a grip on my cashflow. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re stuck in the rat race working non stop just to pay the bills this book will help you.

Another favourite is “Think & Grow Rich”. This helped me to realise that you need to have an internal focus and desire if you want to achieve success. Simply wanting to make a million dollars is not a good driver, and could actually put you in the poor house.

The advantage of buying a physical book is that you can carry it round with you, and somehow the words and concepts stick in your head longer than those you see on a computer screen. Physical books also go through a lengthy editorial process, so you won’t be irritated by typo’s, bad formatting, and poor grammar.

So next time you get tempted to buy an ebook ask yourself this question:

What will I learn from this product, and will it help me be successful?

If you don’t know the answer, or don’t know how you will achieve success then you need to read some business books…

 Happy Reading

    I agree with you whole heartedly. Digesting a real book is a lot easier than an e-book. I was given a copy of Walking with the Wise, put together by Mentors magazine .com Great book with small articles by 70 inspirational speakers, mentors & millionaires. Very good reading.
