Look Who's Wrong Again!

Years ago, I was in a conference where the speaker challenged the audience to think of their greatest failures.

Go ahead and give it a shot. Take a few minutes and recall “the big one.” You know, the one that you still have not told your closest friends about how stupid you were to have made that mistake.

The speaker then asked for volunteers to share some experiences. I have to tell you, it’s gut wrenching, the self-imposed misery people can put on themselves with just a few personal failures.

Then, this guy from the audience who must have been a plant, told a story of how he lost millions of dollars and went broke TWICE, but still didn’t think he had ever failed or even made a mistake.

The takeaway was, “There is no such thing as failure, only testing.”

In other words, if you learn something from any experience, it is worthwhile.

Here is what he learned from the experience of going broke twice and returning again to massive success.

The tip: Do the opposite of what the masses of people do.

The masses of people are almost always wrong. The reason is that the masses give up their collective wisdom and intellect to “experts.” 

While the experts may know a lot about their topic of expertise, they know zero about your situation. They offer advice on their own situation, their hopes, their wants, and their goals, not yours!

So take a look at what the experts are saying you should do regarding your economy, and do the opposite!

If they say:

·      Now is the worst time to buy a restaurant.

You should go for it NOW!

·      Now is no time to visit customers.

You should go and visit them all.

·      Now is the time to stay inside for your health.

You should go out to a park and get some fresh air!

The facts are clear. 95% of the people in any society have average, run-of-the-mill lives. 5% have exceptional lives.

Run away from the 95%. Stop listening to the “experts” and do the opposite!
