Double Your Earnings By Doubling Your Learning

Double Your Earnings By Doubling Your Learning 

Double earning, Double your learning

If you become a TrulyRichClub member like me, you will receive many inspiring thought, views and advice about investing in stock market, wealth strategy etc.. Below just want to share an article i received from the club of Bro. Bo Sanchez on how he double his earning over time. ---

Last week, I flew to Sydney, Australia for six days. (The world is small. I didn’t want to absent myself from our Sunday PICC Feast where I preach every week, so I left Sunday night and arrived Saturday afternoon. That was cool.)

It was sweet meeting our wonderful friends in the small Light of Jesus branch in Sydney. Yes, as usual, I preached in a special Feast we organized there. But that was only one night of my six days there. Because I went to Sydney as a STUDENT...

Fantastic Hillsong Worship

I went to Sydney primarily to attend the 5-day Hillsong Conference. It’s a Christian conference attended by 20,000- plus people from all over the world. They’ve been holding the Conference for 25 years now. Each year, preachers from around the world are invited to speak. This year, it was Joyce Meyer, Louie Giglio, Steven Furtick, Joseph Prince, etc.

As you know, we also hold a gigantic conference each year called Kerygma Conference every November. Last year, we had 10,000 people. So we wanted to improve what we do and the best way of doing that was learning from others who’ve been doing it longer and better than we do.

Hillsong is known for their fantastic worship. So aside from worship leaders in Hillsong such as Darlene Zschech and Reuben Morgan, they invited the biggest worship leaders in the world, like Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, and Israel Houghton. I loved it.

For five days, I was a student. I didn’t preach. I listened. I sat amongst the crowd, sometimes way up in the bleachers, drinking it all in—the atmosphere, the wisdom, the blessings.

Very few people knew me, which was absolutely heavenly. For five days, I could freely walk around the corridors as one of the attendees, not being stopped for photographs and autographs.

I also brought with me 29 preachers and leaders from Light of Jesus—and all of them were spiritually recharged like myself. They too experienced what I experienced. We all became students. Because here’s what I found out: The best leaders in the world are eternal students.

The Power of Humility

Why is Light of Jesus Family (that’s the name of our 32-year-old spiritual community) experiencing such explosive growth the past few years? There’s no other answer: God’s mercy. It’s pure grace, I tell you. But I feel that God had to look for people who were OPEN to receive His mercy and grace. And that opening is humility. And humility is the foundation of being an eternal student.

In the same way that I have financial mentors surrounding me so that my businesses flourish, I surround myself with spiritual mentors. These are spiritual giants who lead bigger communities and churches than those that I lead. They consist of bishops, priests, pastors, preachers, authors, missionaries…

I seek them out. I read their books. I listen to their audio talks. I watch their preaching. I have long chats with them over coffee. I pepper them with questions. I attend their seminars, conferences, workshops. And I ask for their prayer.

The Problem with Natural Abilities

The Bible says, “Wise men and women are always learning, always listening for fresh insights” (Proverbs 18:15). It’s the wise who keep learning.

It’s the foolish who say “I know what I’m doing. I’ve been doing it for years. I don’t need to attend talks, go to seminars, or seek a mentor.”

And that’s the problem with some people with natural abilities and talents. Because of the natural talent that God has given to them, they’ll experience moderate success at the beginning. Which then fills them with pride. Many times, a very talented person isn’t very teachable. Which is sad.

But if a naturally talented person makes a choice to be an eternal student, his success grows exponentially year after year.

What Will Bring Abundance into Your Life

Have you met a “Know-It-All”? I met one the other day. He said he was a businessman for 14 years. But through our 15-minute conversation, I learned that his business was going through hard times.

I asked him, “Do you have a business mentor?” He didn’t even know what the word meant. So I explained to him, “You need to look for a businessman who is 20 times more successful than you are in your particular business.”

His next statement floored me. He said, “There’s really nothing else I need to know. I’ve been doing this business for 14 years now. It’s just a bad economy, that’s all. That’s why we’re going through a rough time.”

I didn’t tell him what I learned from MY mentors: That great businesses are like surfers who ride whatever economic wave comes to them. The bigger the wave, the higher the surfer goes! Great businesses can become more profitable during recessions.

I didn’t tell him that he needed to improve his relationship marketing—because he wasn’t listening. I didn’t tell him that he needed to build his relationships with the key people in his business—because he wasn’t listening.

I didn’t tell him that his main product has become outmoded and he needed to cannibalize his product with an upgraded one—because he wasn’t listening. 

He wasn’t a student. He was clearly a man with great abilities. But abilities aren’t enough. Read carefully: It’s not your abilities but your attitude that will bring financial abundance. Specifically, your attitude of being an eternal student.  

Ten Questions to Know If You’re a Student 

Chisel this truth on stone: If you stop learning, you stop leading. Because a leader is a learner. If you want to double your earnings, double your learning. Futurist John Naisbitt said, “The most important skill to acquire is learning how to learn.” 

Here are 10 questions that Leadership Expert John Maxwell suggests that we ask ourselves, to measure how teachable we are: 

* Am I open to other people’s ideas? 

* Do I listen more than I talk? 

* Am I open to changing my opinion based on new information? 

* Do I readily admit when I am wrong? 

* Do I observe before acting on a situation? 

* Do I ask questions? 

* Am I willing to ask a question that will expose my ignorance? 

* Am I open to doing things in a way I haven’t done before? 

* Am I willing to ask for directions? 

* Do I act defensive when criticized, or do I listen openly for truth? 

Did you answer “No” to any of these questions? If so, be humble. Be teachable. Be a student and work on your humility.

The Best Investment in the World 

Truly Rich Club

You’ve heard me say that the stock market—as long as you use our very own SAM—is the best, easiest, most PROFITABLE investment you can ever make. But there’s one investment that beats the stock market, hands down. Shocked? It’s true. 

The best investment is investing in YOURSELF. At the beginning, when I started buying books or attending seminars, it hurt. Because they were expensive. At least, in my “poverty-conscious” mind, it was expensive.

But as the years went by, I no longer saw buying a book or attending a seminar as expensive. It was cheap—considering the PROFIT I will earn when I apply what I learned. 

In my lifetime, I’ve bought almost a million pesos worth of books. (I’ve got two rooms filled with my books—and it’s crammed from floor to ceiling.) I’ve paid lots of money to attend seminars and workshops all over the world, paying for my plane fares and hotels, forking out millions over my lifetime. Not only that, I’ve paid for “online courses” that have doubled and tripled my income over time too. 

Yes, I’ve gotten back all my investments to my learning multiplied many, many times! Are you ready to invest in yourself? 

Hey, investing in yourself doesn’t even have to be that big. Sometimes, it could be very small—but the returns can be out of this world too. Classic example? The TrulyRichClub. For only Php. 497 or Php. 975 a month (depending if you’re a Gold or SuperGold member), you can already invest in the stock market with confidence and build a sizable retirement fund that will be in MILLIONS in the next 20 years or more. You can learn strategic insights that will save you from so many financial troubles and make you earn so much more. 

For those who are SERIOUS in becoming successful entrepreneurs, you need to INVEST a bit more—but it’s an investment that will return many times over. 

Example? I strongly recommend that you attend Dean Pax’ 2-Day TrulyRich Entrepreneur’s Workshop. (We’ll have another run soon.) Even better, join my WealthCircle, the highest level of the TrulyRichClub. You’ll be surrounded by mentors who will inspire you and guide you in building your business throughout the year. 

Do you want to double your earning? Double your learning. No matter how successful you become, always be an eternal student. 

May your dreams come true,
