Be Open Minded – Rich Dad Poor Dad

You know, one of the most critical aspects or components of making sure that you’re having a mindset that is set towards building wealth for yourself is making sure that you are open minded. The reality is that you never know where your next idea is going to come from, your next contact or your next income stream.  
One of the things that really separates people who just mediocre success from those who have extraordinary success is open mindedness.  A lot of times those who just have that mediocre level of success may feel that they already know everything and they may feel this for one of a number of many reasons.
Some people feel that they know more than they think they know because they may have a degree or several degrees or maybe they have a certain number of years of experience in one particular field and they feel like that experience or that knowledge translates into everything, and it does not.
I can remember an incident that happened to me not too long ago. This is a story I tell and that I even tell in the Multimillion Dollar Mindset product about an event that I was working.  
A good friend of mine, Craig Duswalt, seven figure earner, the rock star marketing guy, I was at one of his events and I was working a booth from two other good friends of mine, Cheri Tree and Kecia Wimmer, both multimillionaires in their business.         They own a company called Quattro University that does amazing things for entrepreneurs in helping them to increase their income and give them all the skills and training that can really multiply their success.         So I was working this booth for Quattro and just telling people that came by about some of the things that Quattro does for people’s business and this guy came up and he asked me what I was there for or what business I was promoting.        So I told him about my friends’ business and he was very quick to tell me, he actually cut me off when I was talking, and he told me that “For something like this, I wouldn’t be one of the students.  I should actually be one of the teachers.”         Now, I’m looking at this guy and he hands me this really raggedy business card and that and several other things about the way that he spoke let me know very quickly that he was someone that had only gotten to a very mediocre level of success.       But his head was so full of himself and what he thought that he knew that he could not be open minded to receive information from anyone else.  So once again, he probably missed out on an amazing opportunity to grow and to grow his business and to grow his bottom line.       You know, one of my other mentors, James Malinchak, always says that you can either feed your ego or you can feed your bank account but you can’t do both at one time.  My tip for you right now is that if you’re only looking to build wealth just make sure that you’re staying open minded.       You never know where your next contact is going to come from.  You never know where your next idea is going to come from.  I have a separate income stream from this that I was able to build with some very key individuals and I didn’t even know any of those people a little bit less than a year before putting that product together.         Not only that, but when I met those people I had no idea that I was even going to put that product together, but being open minded and just being a clearing for whatever opportunities, people, contact information was going to come into my life made me be able to pull that particular idea together and be able to become successful with it.         So once again, make sure that you’re being open minded and that you’re not too quick to judge people or opportunities because you never know where your next bit of information, inspiration or a great contact can come from.
