If you’ve been on my list for a while, you probably know that I never went to college.
Matter of fact, I struggled to graduate high school.
But here’s the thing…
My lack of a college degree didn’t stop me from achieving success.
And what’s crazier?
I’ve actually managed to achieve a level of success that many people WITH a college degree never reach.
How is this possible?
It all comes down to this one thing…
And it can be the difference between simply making a living…
And making a fortune.
That one thing?
It’s self-education.
Now, let me just clarify that I’m not trying to trash formal education or disrespect those who have gone to college.
Plenty of college grads have gone on to do great things…
And certainly there are professions in which formal education is an absolute must.
I mean, would you want a self-educated surgeon operating on you?
Or an attorney who learned law on YouTube defending you in court?
I sure wouldn’t!
But here’s my point…
College isn’t the be-all end-all when it comes to achieving success…
Particularly financial success.
I mean, think about this…
Doctors and lawyers make pretty decent wages.
So do CEOs and other top executives who hold MBAs from Ivy League universities.
But the truth is that none of those professionals will achieve wealth…
I’m talking real, generational wealth…
Unless they learn how to make their money make more money.
Now here’s the thing about self-education:
It often involves a whole lot of trial and error.
You try something…
Fail miserably…
And in the process, you learn a lesson that will carry over into your next attempt.
Repeat this cycle long enough, and you can absolutely achieve nearly anything you set your mind to.
But when we’re talking about self-education in the financial markets…
And learning how to leverage your operating capital for the biggest, fastest, easiest returns possible…
This process can take a very, very long time.
And the longer it takes…
The less time your money has to make more money.
But there’s great news.
There’s another form of self-education that can shave TONS of time off your learning curve.
You see, one of the best ways to learn how to do anything is to find someone who has accomplished what you’re trying to achieve…
And do what they did.
After all, why reinvent the wheel when you can simply follow a well-beaten — and PROVEN — path that they’ve already carved?
Now my friend Ross Givens has been showing traders how to make their money make more money for years…
And he recently put together a very special training session to show you the details of a strategy that is handing investors returns of 236%… 710%… even 913% in a matter of weeks.
The training is only about an hour long…
But the information it contains could potentially change your life.
There’s a great quote by Jim Rohn (he’s just so quotable!) that sums up this idea that we’ve been discussing perfectly.
It goes like this:
“Formal education will make you a living…
Self-education will make you a fortune.”
So ask yourself…
What are you doing today to build the fortune that will sustain your family for years… and generations… to come?
Have a safe and prosperous week!
