Consider this.
Henry Ford, the founder of the Ford Motor Company, never graduated from college.
But history proves he certainly knew how to create wealth.
He was like the Bill Gates of his day.
Now, Bill Gates has Aspergers syndrome (a mild form of Autisim) but that never stopped him from achieving massive wealth creation either.
So, is it true the more you learn the more you earn? I don't think so but then I am not one to run around espousing non truths either.
In my humble opinion people do need to learn to earn, yes, and learn to create wealth.
But they don't need to learn reams and reams of stuff just in order to make a reasonable living.
What is required, as far as I am aware, is an in-depth knowledge on one thing, and maybe a just a light smattering of some other things.
You see, Henry was good at what he did.
It wasn't building cars but he was good at quite a few other things.
Like knowing how to leverage the knowledge in other peoples heads.
And he was good at not giving up.
This last thing he was good at, which is not knowing what defeat looks like, is exactly what we are led to believe gave us the V8 engine.
The fabled story goes something to the effect that every time his engineers came and told him what he wanted was impossible he simply kept repeating himself by saying build it anyway.
I want it and I'll have it.
Did he earn more by learning more? No.
he simply hired a whole hoard of people who knew everything he didn't, gave them a problem and waited for them to come up with the solution.
Now we have no idea how much money he threw at the problems associated with design, and then subsequent manufacture, but we do know one thing.
He knew he would not give up until he met with success.
So, if we are to take a leaf out of Henry's book this is what we come up with.
We don't have to learn more to earn more.
We just have to know what we want and then be able to figure out a way of getting it.
And not give up until we do.
No matter what your goal, if history shows us one thing, it is this.
That we can succeed in achieving the impossible, and create wealth, not only by using our own heads, but by using other people's heads as well
