Let’s talk about getting into a rut and how you stay out of a rut.
Specialized knowledge:
Let’s talk about getting into a rut and how you stay out of a rut. Whether you are in or out of a rut has a lot to do with your level of having specialized knowledge.
Are you getting into a rut again so soon? Or do you know how to stay out of it. It is an illusion that every New Year you feel everything is fresh and wonderful. And start all over again. And a week, two later or a month later, whatever your habit is, falling into a rut again.
It is important to change your habit:
“Every failure and success depends on your daily habit.”
Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich is one of the very basic and major motivational books and teaching available. I don’t go out and buy many different books on self-help or motivation any more. This books says so much.
Going into a rut is something many people do.
Napoleon Hill published Think and Grow Rich 75 years ago and spends over 20 years researching. He mentions Mr. Halpin who worked closely with wolrd famous Knute Rochne , a Notre Dame’s Football Head manager.
“Mr. Halpin refused to compromise with life by accepting and keeping a job he did not want. ——-“
That was so many years ago. Mr. Halpin made some amazing contributions in American economy with this same attitude that kept him out of a rut.
I am really blown away by what Napoleon Hill wrote in this chapter.
Never Start at the Bottom:
“This idea of starting at the bottom and working one’s way up may appear to be sound, but the major objection to it is this – too many of those who begin at the bottom never manage to lift their heads high enough to be seen by OPPORTUNITY, so they remain at the bottom. It should be remembered also that the outlook from the bottom is not so very bright or encouraging. It has a tendency to kill off ambition.”
We call it “getting into a rut,” which means that we accept our fate because we form the HABIT of daily routine …”
So how many times is your ambition killed:
Because you stay at the bottom.
Because you are in a habit of accepting what seems to be the easiest
like a 9 to 5 job.
And hating all the other things that come with the job.
How do you get Specialized knowledge?
in the past, Napoleon Hill’s time, more than 75 years ago, may be 80 and 90 years ago, people went to college or university
Went to the public libraries
Many be till 20 years ago or so, people went to night schools… less common now.
People went to vocational schools.
Or long distance learning University.
Today we have Internet. Webinars, Google+ hangouts. Live Stream webcast. Facebook groups, Skype chat. It is so much easier to get information and specialize yourself with knowledge.
Mastermind Got easier
The Poverty Mentality Dominates:
When people want to change their situation and start something new as a home business, they don’t want to pay for their education, and try to get everything free. Because it’s cool to do attraction marketing, many marketers offer so many things free.
If you keep taking free seminars, hopping from one to another, you will never acquire that special knowledge.
Those who have special knowledge are the ones who succeed in business and life. Special knowledge is a requirement.
You must find a association of winners and not losers.
Not the people who just talk and don’t walk the walk.
Out of a Rut:
Work with the people who succeeded in the area you are pursuing
You must put in your time and also invest in your own education.
Purchase the training and training material you need to gain knowledge and skills…
that would give you more specialized knowledge.
Invest in:
- Being a part of a Mastermind Team
- Internet education and networking availability
- Finding a mentor
- Invest in education and training in the area you want to do well
- Grow as a person studying personal and even spiritual development.
Specialized knowledge is combined with Ideas and through imagination in the form of organized plans yield riches.
Exercise to Get Out of a Rut:
- To get out of a rut, you must work on these 5 areas to invest in yourself.
- Set a goal that you can quantify and measure for each of these 5 areas.
- Set a target date with a specific date within next one to 3 months.
- Write out in bullet forms or in sentences.
- Read them several times a day.
- As you read out loud, visualize in detail using all your body senses.
- Do everything in the present tense as if everything you plan is already manifesting.
A few years ago, I came across with a community of entrepreneurs and Internet marketers. I found a great simple platform and system they have been successfully implementing.
This system and community provided me with lots of training sessions regularly held by top earners in marketing, social media campaign, blogging and mind-set and personal development. Many people are very successful and they share the exact steps they’ve taken to achieve 5, 6 and 7 figure income. The arena of Internet Marketing is so huge and diverse and there are more than one way to succeed. You have many styles available to you.
Since Napoleon Hill’s Think And Grow Rich our world has transformed far more than what he continued to think ahead of his time about “our changing world.” There is a movement going on. The Internet has opened up a far wider, more extensive movement of freedom seekers.
If you’ve been struggling and you are i n a rut, you are not alone. It isn’t because you are lazy or incapable. But you must take seriously about gaining specialized knowledge and begin your journey to freedom with a clearly defined road-map to success. Many thousands if not tens of thousands of people like you have been using this system successfully.
To Your Abundance and Success,
