The Power of Self-Education

Before I met my mentor, Mr. Shoaff, I asked him, "how can I become wealthy?" He asked me, "Have you read the book 'Think and Grow Rich'?"

I said, "No."

He said, "I suggest you get it."

The Difference

How to Self-Educate

1. **Read Books**: Miss a meal if you have to, but don't miss a book. "All the books we will ever need to make us as rich, as healthy, as happy, as powerful, as sophisticated and as successful as we want to be have already been written."

2. **Keep a Journal**: Don't trust your memory. When you listen to something valuable, write it down. A student is not just a listener; a student is a note-taker.

3. **Learn from Personal Experience**: Review your day. Don't live the same year 10 years in a row.

4. **Learn from Others**: Success leaves clues. Study successful people.
