Mindset Mastery 4 - A Secret Education
Andrew Carnegie was a great philanthropist, as came to be exemplified later in his life when he donated the majority of his fortune to public libraries, schools, and scientific research. Andrew Carnegie, like Napoleon Hill, was not born to money – he created his own wealth. He believed that the ability to create wealth should be taught to all people as part of a basic education.
“This book contains the secret, after having been put to a practical test by thousands of people, in almost every walk of life. It was Andrew Carnegie’s idea that the magic formula, which gave him a stupendous fortune, ought to be placed within reach of people who do not have time to investigate how men make money, and it was his hope that I might test and demonstrate the soundness of the formula through the experience of men and women in every calling. He believed the formula should be taught in all public schools and colleges, and expressed the opinion that if it were properly taught it would so revolutionize the entire educational system that the time spent in school could be reduced to less than half.”
The Right Kind Of Education
This is reflective of the fact that so many people go completely through first and secondary schools, and in fact even college and graduate school, without ever learning anything that teaches them to build wealth. The simple fact is that wealth creation techniques, such as those taught by Universal Wealth Creation work for people of all walks of life, of all ages, and all levels of education. The ’secret’ to wealth creation is not accessing the most education; it is accessing the right kind of education, and applying what you know for your own benefit with effectiveness. The path to enjoying that secret success is exceedingly varied. The means to that end, in respect to occupation, is not the function that matters.
I will see you back here Monday and Thursday every week for the continuation of the Mindset Mastery series.

G,day Sean,
now I understand more about mindset & education , I look back at my parents & the struggles they had making ends meet. They did what they could to survive basicly , when all they really needed was the rite education, it is almost criminal that the education system does not revise & upgrade the current system. I know this is one of Jamie,s ultimate goals, what are your thoughts on how far down the track this may become a reality.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!! mate, have a great day.
regards
Allen

Hi Allen
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
We need a collective change of consciousness. All I mean here is that people just need to start thinking on a different level. One that they are already aware of but are basically not quite prepared to do onmasse. Many are doing this now and you can see the change across the globe. People are not putting up with the lies from the politicians and corporations (as much as before). I wouldn’t be surprised to see some massive revolts start up in places like: “The greatest Democracy in the World”. It’s fine to say we have great standards but that isn’t all that nice when we also have more and more people living in poverty, happily sponsored by (and compliments of) our loyal world leaders who line their dis-loyal pockets with oil money and blood money from drugs and god knows what else they get up to.
People are becoming more aware. This is the awareness that will make the world a much better place. It’s good now and we can make it much better simply from a collective awareness of our need to educate and help those who want it.
I’ll get off my soapbox now. Thanks Allen

We seem to lose sight sometimes of the more finer things in life. Most people end up working for the system and don’t understand why things they are they way they are. They just need a guiding star a reference point, to point them in the right direction , then we can all make a difference, because we can all be so much more.
Oh! By the Way Happy Birthday Sean, Cheers buddy. I will drink one for you. Have a beautiful Day

Sean-isn’t it amazing how little people are taught about success? Even the basics like showing up on time and giving more than you are paid for. Like having a positive attitude, a vision, and goals.
I think this is to be expected. Pareto’s law applies to everything including success and personal development. Only 20% are ready to learn and apply the principles. Only 4% (the top 20% of the top 20%) apply them consistently.

I think it is an amazing process. People all ave the ability to be successful. It’s within them to be tapped and used at their convenience, however many choose not to.
