What is logical thinking? Where has logical thinking brought you thus far?
Logical thinking tells us to go to college….Get a degree….Get a job….Don’t spend too much on this…..Save, Save, Save….You can’t afford that….. Give money to your financial advisor….Don’t take risks….Retire at the age of 62 and collect Social Security…..
You see, logical thinking is not your fault. We were programmed to think logically. From the day we were born, 97% of us were taught and raised that this was the way life works. And that is a true statement. This is the way life works for 97% of people in the world.
Do you know who the other 3% are? The wealthy. That’s right, the millionaires in our society do NOT think logically. If they thought logically, they wouldn’t be wealthy. Do you think Donald Trump thinks logically? Do you think Mr. Trump didn’t take huge risks on his path to success? Perhaps Richard Branson thought logically when he spent every last dollar with Virgin records, only to discover Boy George, and become a Forbes list regular? You want proof? Go purchase his autobiography. In fact, if you read many autobiographies of wealthy entrepreneurs, like Trump and Branson, you will find that they do NOT think logically.
Logical thinking is the reason why 97% of people’s financial situations are what they are right now.
It’s time to think illogically. It’s time to think like an entrepreneur. It’s time to act like an entrepreneur. It’s time to surround
yourself with entrepreneurs. It’s time to take risks. You are taking a much bigger risk by simply doing the same thing you’ve been doing your entire life, thinking logically. You are risking all the enjoyment life can bring you.
Simply ask yourself if you are 100% happy with your job, the way you spend your time, the amount of time you spend with your family, and how often do you simply get to do the things you want to do? If you can’t honestly say that you are happy with all those aspects of life, get out of your comfort zone, stop thinking logically, and take a risk.
