I often wonder why it is that we are taught WHAT to think before we are taught HOW to think.

In fact I’d suggest that all personal and self development is about reversing all that WHAT to think conditioning we start getting almost from birth. 

And learning HOW to think. 

Two really good books that have helped me a lot with this stuff are - 

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill 

and 

The Power Of Now by Eckhart Tolle

I have to say that in the second book there is a lot of spiritual/mystical stuff I don’t really follow. Far more valuable to me is the stuff on taking control of your thoughts and on living in the now rather than in the past or future. 

The past is gone and the future is Now (blink) nope Now (blink) nope Now .......

I think this is particularly true in today’s rapidly changing world - a world where a lot of the stuff we have been taught is being turned upside down anyway. 

Then again, Think and Grow Rich was written in 1937 but is I think even more valid that ever.

Because having an impact on the world is easier now for most of us than ever before. Much easier than it was for all the entrepreneurs, inventors and innovators studied in the book. 

The internet and all the technology that has grown around it has given us all a vehicle to use in order to THINK and GROW rich…..not just financially, but in every sense of the word. 

What my mentors and business partners at SFM and DEA have built is very much based around the wisdom in those books and many others but in the frame of what we have NOW 

Not what we had when our fathers and Grandfathers were growing up 

That economy and design for life is going fast. 

Grab those two books f you haven’t already - if you have then re-read them as I do - or get the audio versions. 

It’s game changing stuff - and the game IS changing.
