Falling in Love with Knowledge and Information


Falling in love with knowledge and information – is it good or bad?

I can only talk based on my experiences and my beliefs based on these experiences. So my personal conclusion is that falling in love with knowledge and information is a good thing as long as one’s accumulated knowledge and information is made productive. As long as knowledge and information are allowed to manifest into actions it’s great. But as soon as knowledge and information remain accumulated in one’s brain without being expressed in the world outside one’s brain information and knowledge are futile. Knowledge and information without application are not worth a dime in my personal opinion.

Falling in love with knowledge and information is a great thing as long as it has consequences on your outside world and not such a great thing if you only keep it locked in into your own head.

Ideas, Ideas, Ideas

The Ignition program makes my brain to work intensively. I'm discovering new perspectives and I'm rediscovering old ideas. It is GREAT!

I have so many thoughts that I have to write them down on the back of my hands to remember them.

Epiphany no. 4 – The World Is a Generous Place

I just know it.

I always did and now I remembered it. It is a generous world out there.

At times the world might not seem to be a generous place but it is just a matter of wrong perception. The world IS a generous place and therefore the Internet is a generous place with lots of opportunities waiting for you and me to act upon them. And the opportunities that are not already there are waiting for us to create them

A world of abundance for every single one of us.

Epiphany no. 3 – Nobody Can Do Your Work for You


During the first three months of the year I spent a lot of time on energy trying to learn about Internet Marketing and how to make money online. One teaching available in most of the materials I went through is that outsourcing, letting other people doing parts of your work. This strategy is used by internet marketer to be more effective and have more time left for other activities. Most of these activities seemed to have the purpose of increasing the quality of life of the persons using it and their families, i.e. spending more time together, travelling etc. So for a while I almost believed that everything could be outsourced. Also many people trying to sell solutions for working online from home love to write about how little work, almost no work at all, is required for success with an online business.

Last Sunday I was doing the dishes. We don’t have a dishing machine and I found that doing the dishes is almost a sort of meditative activity for me, resulting sometimes in important insights. This time I was reflecting on some of the stuff about making money online that I have been reading. During this Zen moment with the dishes I reached Nirvana and the wisdom of the Universe screamed into my head:

"NO BODY CAN DO YOUR WORK FOR YOU. NOBODY!"

And the Universe continued:

"This does not mean that once you start with your business you have to do everything. The Internet Marketing Gurus are right, outsourcing is good. When you’re in that advanced position with your business outsource as much as possible. Save time and get more effective while giving other people the opportunity to make a buck too. But some things cannot be outsourced. You have to do them by yourself. Decide what your job in your business is and do it proactively. Outsource the rest. "

And then the Universe stopped talking with me, leaving me in the company of the dishes and several other questions (for instance, what is my job?). I was a little disappointed but, thanks the Universe, I bought earlier Eben’s course Ignition and I will hopefully reconnect with the Universe and get my answers. For now I just have to keep in mind that:

NO BODY CAN DO MY WORK FOR ME. NOBODY!

PS. My humor may be hard to understand but I trust you to understand that I blend serious things with my kind of humor. And my epiphany might seem ordinary but it is serious

NO BODY CAN DO YOUR WORK FOR YOU. NOBODY!

Mike Filsaime’s Quote

I have no idea if Mike Filsaime is the one who said this but he is the one I’ve heard it from.

“I'd rather learn from the successes of others than from my own mistakes.”

I think this is how you get even more successful, even faster and it’s pretty much how I thought when I decided to take Eben Pagan’s Ignition program.
