Why you want to read this blog (part 1)

After years of reading books on personal development and wealth creation, I have seen a common pattern in them. They all advocate that there are 3 actions that a person needs to perform to develop:

Believe. These are the internal aspects and what is going on in a person’s mind. There is no point to try to improve yourself if deep inside you, you believe that you are a loser. You need to create a belief system that supports the life that you desire.

Know. You need to know the ways to achieve the things you desire. If you want to improve your life, what should you do? You might have the belief system and think that you can be better, but if you do not know what you need to do, then you will not change.

Act. Since you believe that you can change and you know what you need to do to change, it is now time to do it. Without action, you will not do anything and all the beliefs and the knowledge will go to waste. This is a personal thing that the individual must take charge.

All 3 aspects are interconnected and essential. You can not have 1 or even 2 of them and hope to succeed. You need all 3 of them.

My personal challenge has been the knowledge part. I have found many books that helped me with my belief system and I have improved it over the years. I am keen to take action when I know the way to follow. What I have found is that there are not many books out there that show the Practical Way. The practical steps are few and between and they are usually hidden inside a 300 page book. So you read the whole book to get out of it 5 practical steps.

Do not get me wrong. I believe that reading the whole book is great and I gain much. But sometimes, all I want are some practical steps I can use. I am not looking for a quick fix or an easy way. I am looking for the Practical Way to follow. I find it frustrating to read a whole book that 95% of it covers the beliefs to only get 5% on the practical steps. That is why I start this blog. I want to gather all the practical steps together to create the Practical Way.

I want to hear from you as well and see what you have found along your path. Then we can all combine our knowledge together and create the Practical Way.

Follow the Practical Way,
George
