Principle 7: Your Library Is the Artesian Well of Knowledge

“Formal education will earn you a living, self-education will earn you a for fortune.”—Jim Rohn

“You determine how much of a fortune you want to earn by how much you decide to self-educate.”—Jeffrey Gitomer

If you make a living online, or want to, you probably already know that you have to constantly learn, constantly adapt–it’s the nature of the thing. The internet is a living, growing, changing organism. You have to live, grow and change along with it. That includes growing mentally, growing intellectually.

But don’t make the mistake of thinking there is nothing left to learn from books. In fact, in his book Jeffrey Gitomer recommends reading the old “success and positive thinking” classics. Although they may sound hokey to our modern ears, they have wisdom that is ageless and timeless. Fill your mind with positive patterns. Learn constantly. Continue to grow and stretch your blog and yourself. This will ultimately lead to success.
