Why to get more education?
|
First… Why should you care? Over and over, we have heard from our parents or at school the same story. Study hard. Get a good degree. With the good degree, a good job. Then, work hard. That’s the perfect receipt to be permanently frustrated about how little money you make, and how much money others make. No matter if you are an operator or a CEO. The money that you make out of selling your time never tastes fulfilling. If you care about that, you should continue your education until you die. Not more degrees necessarily. But just more experience. You need to expose yourself to new things. You need to learn new things. And why? Just to have more options. Knowing every day more and more about less and less is also following the path of slavery. You limit the companies you can work for. You limit the positions you can work on. And if you didn’t take care of your finances… You limit enormously the offers that you can accept for that job in that company. So, continuing your education, trying new things, get exposed to new people, thinking, mindsets, businesses, opinions, etc. is just a way to give you more options.

Sometimes you receive funny comments and emails… Like… “Do I have to pay for a call?” as if until very recently there was not a time with no unlimited forfeits on your phone and you had to pay for EACH call… Look. I charge US$49.90 for a first call. Not enough to make me rich. At least not yet… and of course, not at that price. But the cost is still enough to make someone stop and ask: “Do I actually have a problem worth discussing?” Free calendars tend to attract three things: “Can I pick...
IBM had the best add possible: “Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM.” The logic was simple… as it was people they targeted. If it worked, fine. If it failed, nobody could blame you. You had chosen the biggest name. The sure name. Then a competitor added: “And nobody ever got promoted for buying IBM either.” Brilliant. Look. Too many advisers and providers are still selected like this. Through fear. The biggest logo. The thickest proposal. The largest team. The safe choice. Then the proposal...
Ah, Fiji… what a wonderful place! Almost one in three people here is Indo-Fijian. That did not begin with a migration strategy. It began with sugar. The British, those guys that always do things right and say the Spaniards are the devil, needed cheap labour for the plantations.
