"Money" Knowledge: Understanding Financial Antecedent (2)
22 comments
We've passed the era where we need to make mistakes before we learn. Sophisticated has made it possible for people to learn without needing to make mistakes.
One of the biggest mistakes is choosing not to learn. When it comes to money, we consciously and subconsciously learn, because life always tests us with previous events where we might have excelled or failed and the proof of growth is doing better than the last time.
One of the things I've learned is that successful people are mostly terrible tutors
People who are wealthy or have cut their teeth in some sectors of life and achieved success are not the best teachers, while it's not bad to understudy them, it's actually a very terrible idea for them to tutor you and this is purely psychological.
In reality, success can be intimidating.
When we see sucess people, we're always inclined to have them take us under their wings, but the bitter truth is, people cannot excel in sameness.
While people can collectively excel in a particular thing, without creative individualism it'll be difficult for them to win.
While it's easy to be blind by the rules or principles of wealth making, if a person is not creative or has an individual flair in their craft, then it'll be very difficult for them to excel.
I wanted to tell this person on my post that despite how rich he was if he looked around, he'd only find himself because no one has successfully understudied him and become wealthy despite his life externally oozing with "ten ways to become financially free".
In life, no one is generally qualified to teach another person how to make money.
This is because the same methods that worked for them are not incorrigible and can fail another person. So it's all about learning, regurgitating what you've learned, and making it your own.
As I've said, learning can happen subconsciously or consciously and even going through my experiences can spark a different learning process.
When it comes to learning about money, holding the belief that only success stories or successful people are qualified to teach or be learned from, then you're limiting yourself to how far you can learn, but then, I get it.
Sometimes we're conditioned to the success syndrome.
we raise our expectations too high, thereby creating a standard of knowledge that we should access or shouldn't access.
However, knowledge about money lies in places we cannot even fathom, the experiences of the ordinary people on the street can create powerful business ideas, and foster bigger motivations than some of the ones people pay to access.
For example, it's difficult to tell people to live healthy without them taking this knowledge for granted, but giving them access to hospitals or places where people have ill health will rewire their orientation about living healthy.
This is the same with money.
Sometimes, the right knowledge lies in uneducated places.
While it's true that a broke person cannot teach others about the rudiments of financial freedom, their lives, survival stories, struggles and definition of failure or success is an ingredient of motivation.
