Article Overview: You don't know it all. Here's why you want to seek wisdom and help from others.

Wisdom and Association Lead to Success

Wisdom waits to be gathered. No one achieves anything meaningful from ignorance. Only through learning and education can you prosper in any given field. You must seek out wisdom. Read books and listen to recordings that bring about positive change and understanding. Do not bombard your mind with material that feeds your doubts and fears. You need to listen to what increases your belief in yourself and your future.

Choose your friends carefully. You are who your friends are. Associate yourself with only those you admire. You speak your friends language and share their opinions and habits. Look around you and evaluate who your friends are. Are these the people you want to become? They say if you hang out with chickens you will learn to scratch the ground and squabble over crumbs. If you surround yourself with eagles you will learn to soar to great heights.

Find wise people to seek counsel from. Counsel from wise people can be used immediately for quick results. If you counsel with only yourself you can only make decisions according to what you already know. Add the knowledge of the wise to your own to increase your success.

Be a servant to others. The wise man cultivates a servant’s spirit. That attribute attracts people like no other. As you humbly serve others their wisdom will be freely shared with you. Often, the person who develops a servant’s spirit becomes wealthy beyond measure. Don’t look for someone to open your door look for doors to open for others. Don’t be distressed when no one is available to help you be excited when you are available to help others.

Having a servant’s spirit and seeking wisdom will enable you to grow and gain success at rates you never thought possible. You are what you associate yourself with so open your eyes and ears and be aware of your influences both receiving and sending they can change your life.

Re: My Favorite Book For Entrepreneurs In 2010 - Lead The Field. By Earl Nightingale. I have read the book more than 7 times, since I bought it in 2008
Re: Books for the Entrepreneur - Lead the field by Earl Nightingale is a winner everyday. Though it is original audio messages, but I read the book every month. Every Entrepreneur should have it.
Think like an Association - Hey Sebastian, Maybe you could try thinking like an Association... I would study the structure or formats used by other Associations. What are they doing to add value for their members? The BBB plays a monitoring role for consumers by gathering data about business' that are behaving badly. And they're pretty successful at it too. Maybe you can offer a 'Platinum Program' that franchisors buy into. Accredited members only. Criteria could be strict: 1. Age (stability): 10+ years 2. Satisfied franchisees: 85% + satisfaction 3. Size (stability again): 250 units 4. Strong profits 5. Great management -Maybe a 'Gold Program' for those Franchisors that aren't quite at that level, but can strive to reach it... -Top 100, 500, 1000 Listing for qualified members... maybe a slap at Entrepreneur.com and their biased top 10 lists... -Maybe act as a monitor like BBB? -Maybe team up with FranSurvey OR do something similar for each member (not sure about Fransurvey's rep, but I like the concept) There's so much discontent within the franchising arena that I think if you were part of the solution, then you could create a win/win with your Association. The only downside is that this power can get abused if there aren't good checks and balances within the association.

God's Diet - Very interesting, from both a health perspective and a marketing perspective. Growing up Mormon we were raised on The Word of Wisdom. No coffee, no tea, no junk food, no smoking, no drinking..etc. All good. But I think its harder and harder to find true, pure food these days. And lets face it, I'm not likely to start growing my own produce or keeping cattle..
