What’s in it for me? Unlock the secrets to a successful life

Do you sometimes feel like you’ve hit a roadblock in your life? Your income has been in the same range for years. Your personal goals aren’t moving either. It’s as if you’re in a deep ditch with no way out.

Well, there’s some good news: there is a way out. It starts with changing your philosophy of living. The way you look at life plays a pivotal role in shaping your present and your future. That’s why it’s of utmost significance to have the right kind of philosophy to propel you forward.

That’s where this Blink to Jim Rohn’s My Philosophy for Successful Living comes in. You’ll find out what the right philosophy is, what it entails, and how you can turn your life and finances around.

Let’s dive straight in.

Your income is dependent on your philosophy

How often do you catch yourself daydreaming about a fatter wallet? In those daydreams, do you point fingers at external forces for your meager earnings? Maybe you keep on saying that taxes are gobbling up your paycheck, your stingy company isn’t paying you enough, or the cost of living in your area is just ludicrous.

But here’s something to blow your mind: you’re making less not because of your taxes, company, or city – you’re making less because of your thinking. Your philosophy of living holds the power to determine your financial status. It’s this philosophy that fuels your decisions and actions and ultimately brings about changes in your life.

There are four philosophies of living that most people gravitate towards. The first is the philosophy of governmental intervention. As its name suggests, this philosophy involves asking your country’s leaders to enact laws that provide higher compensation.

The second is the philosophy of demand. Instead of the government, you depend on your company to give you a raise.

The third is the philosophy of collective confrontation, where you and your fellow workers go on strike to demand a wage increase.

And the fourth is the philosophy of performance and productivity. Here, you prioritize self-education and improvement, honing your expertise and gaining more skills.

To get where you want to be finance-wise, you need to scrap the first three philosophies and adopt the fourth one. This means taking matters into your own hands rather than wasting your time and energy waiting for the government or your company to act. That’s what the philosophy of performance and productivity is all about. But how exactly can it help you get rich?

Improving yourself is key to achieving financial growth

Financial growth starts with personal growth. When you improve yourself, you set the stage for wealth to naturally follow suit.

According to the philosophy of performance and productivity, formal education can only get you as far as landing a job. If you want to feast on financial success, then you should focus on self-education. Continuously improve yourself until you become a treasure trove of knowledge and skills, someone so valuable that people can’t resist showering you with cash.

How to improve yourself

With all this talk about the importance of self-education, one question remains: How exactly do you improve yourself?

Start by seeking out a mentor. They can help you break free from your excuse-based thinking and shift your mindset to the philosophy of performance and productivity. Remember that the pathway to fortune begins with your philosophy.

Keep in mind the foundational principles of acquiring wealth

When you’re out in the real world, it’s easy to get lost in the sea of information. You’ll find financial gurus everywhere, feeding you a never-ending stream of advice and tips to get rich. That’s why it’s crucial to always keep in mind the foundational principles of acquiring wealth to prevent you from losing your way.

One of those fundamentals is to embrace the belief that profits outweigh wages in terms of growing your finances. Unfortunately, relying on wages alone won't make you rich. But you don’t need to give up your steady wage to rely on profits full-time. You can do both.

Optimize your philosophy of living

Even the best engines need fine-tuning every once in a while. The same is true for your philosophy of living. It needs a little tinkering now and then to match your lifestyle and goals and give you the best results.

There are several ways to optimize your philosophy. First and foremost, look at both your own experiences and those of others. Experiences are teachers, offering valuable insights on how to navigate life’s opportunities and pitfalls. Leverage these insights to improve yourself and better your understanding of the financial world.

Evaluate your progress

Imagine running a five-mile course without trackers or signs of any sort. You get to the 200-meter point before the finish line, but because you’re already too tired and have no clue where you are, you quit right there and then. Now imagine a different scenario where you find markers telling you you’re already there. Would you have given up then?

That’s exactly why it’s crucial to regularly check your progress. Every once in a while, you need to pause and evaluate how far you’ve come from the starting point and how far you still have to go to reach the finish line. Not only does this energize you to push through but it also allows you to see whether your strategies are working or not.

A six-step roadmap to an exceptional life

Just like countless others, you’re probably yearning for a life that’s far from the one you currently lead. But getting there isn’t as easy as getting into bed and waking up to an entirely different reality. You need to work on it, too. To get you started, here are what Rohn calls his six steps to cultivate an exceptional life.

Step one: channel your energy toward productivity. When you’re productive, you’re significantly happier, and that’s because you feel a sense of fulfillment and meaning. So keep those productivity levels high!

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
