Why Life Sets You Up For Failure
Your only choice if you want to be free.
Let’s talk about why entrepreneurship is your only choice in life.
We all know in order to grow you need education, but why is the education you get from school not the right education?
You need education that most people aren’t absorbing.
Currently, there are 235 million students enrolled in university worldwide.
Since something’s value comes from scarcity and how hard it is to obtain, this means that information is not valuable as so many people have access to it.
What’s even worse is that not enough people take ACTION with the information they have in university.
Instead they just get a decent job and float through life.
But this isn’t what you’re supposed to do.
In order to separate yourself from the masses, you need education that isn’t being taught in university.
Plan your own journey, or be the passenger for someone else.

This means:
books
courses
mentorship
This information would be considered more valuable depending on it’s ability to be accessed.
Mentorship is one of the most valuable pieces of education as it is very hard for a mentor to spread his message to so many people in 1 on 1 sessions.
However, what do you do when you have the information you need?
You need to take massive action and not waste time at all.
Knowledge with action is power.

There’s a story of a lawyer who got two degrees but 40 years later sat in his desk with not a single client asking for his service.
And there’s a story of a young lawyer who only got one degree and three years of training but was the talk of the town since every single client wanted his services.
He actually had to turn clients down just because he was getting too many.
The reason why the young lawyer had more clients and more success even tho he went to school for less years is because he took more action.
His lack of education in school made him feel that he needed to work much harder to prove himself which led him to taking more action than the old lawyer with 2 degrees.
This is the power of action.
Many people go to the most prestigious universities.
Harvard.
Stanford
CIT.
They spend years studying so hard to get their education and finally get it.
BOOM.
They think they’re done.
They think they’ve worked hard and made their biggest accomplishment and now everything else in life is smooth sailing.
In reality, this is just the beginning.
Now that you have the proper education, you need to take proper action to turn your dreams into reality.
This is where most people fail.
Remember, the two things that will make you the most successful are:
Proper Education
Massive action from your education.
Learn the right information and the right things to do, then apply it and do it as fast as possible.
