One of the most important aspects ofdeveloping a business mindset is to invest in ourselves. Most people refuse toinvest in anything good for themselves other than food (Americans tend toconsume pizzas by the truckload and that isinvesting in ourselves the wrong way). What we need to do is to really investin ourselves such as educating ourselves and growing in wisdom. Your educationdoesn’t stop when you leave college. 公仔箱論壇 R$ x; T' Z7 h* \& ~) R" B

Developing the fundamental attitudes and desiresto succeed takes character, not a spur of the moment decision or because itsounds like a good idea.5.39.217.77( T) R- N. N8 w/ R7 S

Because theworld is constantly advancing forward, anything that doesn’t follow theirdirection will be left behind. Unfortunately this is what happens to people wholeave college or university. They stop growing, therefore, they startdegrading. Their minds atrophied and they lose the desire to learn.

Investing in ourselves also means that welearn new ways to acquire wealth. As your wealth grows, you will have moreoptions to grow. Learning to develop your wealth requires a certain attitudethat most people have when they were young but lose their dream when peopletell them to stop. They settle for mediocre lives and abandon the pursuit forsuccess the moment they stop investing them themselves.

The first thing you need to do is to beopen to new teachings. It is just like a tea cup. When a cup is full of water,you can’t pour in anything. It won’t go in and it will overflow. So what do wedo if we need to get new water? First, simply empty the cup by pouring themuddy water out of it, only then you will have the capacity to learn newthings.公仔箱論壇/ P/ u- i5 k; g7 @2 ]8 h
- r8 r: _7 i: w- w' RThe next thing you need to do is to learnfrom a mentor or from a successful person. We need a guide and a direction.Someone we can look up to and follow. Don’t learn from negative people. Yourbeer buddies may be your life long friends, but they won’t take you places.Taking advice from them is suicidal. If you fall sick, you would rather see adoctor and not a car mechanic. In fact, you would want to see the best doctorthere is! Not some crack doctor without any credibility.

The last attitude you must develop is to developan action habit. You can learn from all the gurus, read all the books andattend all the seminars, but if you do not take action, massive action, youwill be even worse off when you just started – full of motivation, but nodirection (leading to lots of frustration). Although that is the hardest part,it actually gets easier when you actually get started.
