Knowledge Is Not Power

A lot of people wonder why I do all the reading and learning I do. Yes, I love books and have a thirst for knowledge.
But when I read a book, listen to an audio or learn something new, I almost always put the knowledge I gain into action somewhere in my life.
It feels great when you reap the benefits of what you learn - whether it helps you expand your horizons, become a better person or grow your business.
Most people fail not because they don’t KNOW what to do, but because they don’t ACT on that knowledge.
I’ve known so many people who will buy the books (maybe even read half), the software, the tools to help them succeed, and then complain that they’re not getting results.
I think its great that they have the desire to succeed and are willing to spend money to make it happen, but as Anthony Robbins put it so well, “Affirmation without Action is the beginning of Delusion.”
Positive thinking and affirmations might work to remove limiting beliefs that prevent you from taking action. But mere knowledge is not power. It is potential power.
The key to using that power is to act on what you learn and apply it to reach your goals.
