You are right on point with this topic. Self development is the key to increasing your earning potential. As Jim Rohn would say, “You have to work harder on yourself, than you do at your job.” Most people think they can get by with their standard traditional education. Well they can as long as they like standard pay.

Here are a few statistics that blew my mind:

1. 80% of American’s didn’t buy a book last year.

2. 43% of American’s read below a 7th grade level.

3. 70% of American adults have not been in a bookstore in the last 5 years.

4. 58% of American adults never read a book after high school.

5. 42% of University Graduates NEVER read another book. WOW!

Another study reports only 14% of society would go in a bookstore or a library and actually walk out with a book. And only 10% of those would read past the first chapter.

Sorry about going on about these facts but I believe these points are why most people are where they are in life.

In America approximately only 5% of people that retire couldn’t do this without some type of financial assistance e.g.; social security, pensions and etc… People need to wake up and take responsibility for creating their own financial freedom. Working on their own self development is their key to freedom!

The question is, will they take the necessary steps to achieve it?

This is why it is so incredibly important for us an entrepreneurs to continue to develop our skill set on a daily basis since it is our efforts that drive the economy.

And…it’s interesting when I get with an old group of friends and listen to them talk. I find it very hard to listen to the negative crap (sorry) any more!

I love being an Entrepreneur, and I truly love the people in this Industry. I don’t go a day without reading or listening to something motivational.

Thanks for the post John, it’s a great video!

Awesome post! I am one of those “Corporate” people who had a job, liked what I did, but did not control my destiny, my salary, hours worked (and paid for), etc.

Being an Entrepreneur not only allows you the freedom but also the finances to change your own life and help others, as well.

Thanks for sharing this message!

Great post this captures a large percentage of us (including me right now), I am tracking across country right now though, looking to get on the freeway. Tired of the rat race my friend.
