College vs. Self Education

Thanks Jim Rohn. I love the quote from the book, Twelve Pillars, "College will make you a living. Self education will make you a fortune." This idea has set us free.

I have been fortunate enough to have a college education. In fact, I spent almost ten years dedicated to the system that would give me the "brass ring". College is an expensive venture. You are required pay up front for education that you apply later. In some cases, people rack up $100,000+ bill that they have to scramble to pay off with their new "job". I know people who are skimming by trying to get the 10+ year debt paid off. I was also lucky enough to study a topic I absolutely love, art, more specifically graphic design. In school I was a sell out to all the other fine artists for "making a living" off of my art. I have had a good, some would even say, great career with my college degree. Interestingly enough, it didn't have the power to set me free.

Self education has always been a passion of mine. I love to read to expand my knowledge. I have been moved off of my couch to take action by the things I have read. Self education allows me to learn and apply the skill immediately. Of course, I like to apply my new found knowledge the minute I have learned it. Some might call me crazy stretching my limits. As I write this most people are in bed. I find this time is peaceful and inspiring, and a time to apply myself to my passion and causes. So this path of self education brings with it some challenges, and brings with it hope. It brings with it an incredible amount of wisdom to help me reach my goals. I have had two simple goals since I was a child. I want to spend my time with my kids at home. I want to travel and work from anywhere in the world.

I am extremely fortunate to share my passion with my husband. We found that through this self education, we are set for life. Our dreams are goals with time lines. They have become reality, and completely attainable. If we had settled for less, we would have regrets. Our self education has taken us on the new frontier, the internet. We have become skilled internet marketers who help others learn the same thing. We can do it from anywhere in the world. Our system works while we play with our kids.

To say "self education rocks" is an understatement! It is just as challenging as college. I would say it even tests you more. But what an awesome journey. The view is incredible, and the person it makes you become is even better than you could have imagined. At this point with all of our early goals so easily reached, we are focused on helping others reach their goals. It is our turn to help others "self educate" and give back.

We are a husband and wife team who were at the end of our rope. We had given up our six figure jobs to start a brick and mortar business and invested upwards of a quarter of a million dollars to end up with absolutely nothing at the end of a seven year push.

We had to pay off debts, and start over with virtually nothing to stand on. All we wanted was to work at home so we could raise our kids and work from anywhere in the world.

We searched for the answers on the internet. We found it! At first we were a bit skeptical and after doing our due diligence we realized that we had found an education platform that would allow us to learn, earn and turn our dreams into reality.

We ordered the system and went to work as it instructed. We had results immediately. It was simple, easy, and we could learn how to market anything, to anyone, anywhere in the world using the internet.

We haven't looked back. We have been extremely fortunate to find something that can educate us and set us up for life. We are passionate about sharing our knowledge with others who are looking for big changes in their life.

Ivy League vs. Affordable school Ivy League vs. Affordable school - To play devils Advocate .... Prestigious school vs. Education I can afford? Does going to a prestigious school gaurantee success? I'm sure it helps - imagine the contacts made - powerful I assume. Also there is the pressure of being an alma mater of a school where everyone else is driven to succeed by thier parents. But, what if you got the "Education you can afford". It's still education. You are forced to analyze, engage in relationships, manage your school mates, and deliver on deadlines. What's the common denominator when you get out of school? Is it the ability to take action? The ability to see the big picture and then take the necessary actions to bring a project to completion? There's that action word again! what do you think?

I'll have to look more into it as it sounds like something I could benefit from.

As for Green technology goes, I don't think the business has to be entirely based on Green ideologies, but rather a business that embrace Green philosophies and use that as a marketing tool.
