    The Dumb Tax

    A jolt runs through the crowd as the curtain rises. He appears in the spotlight, beaming. His smile flashes as his voice wraps around the audience. They laugh at his jokes and nod at his truths. They are buying what he’s selling – the Kool-Aid.

    “Just one sip, every day for 30 days, and your business will thrive,” he promises as the light catches his Rolex. “You’ll be rich beyond your wildest dreams, just like me.”

    He might be rich – but it’s from selling his flashy Kool-Aid, not drinking it.

    There are no secret formulas when it comes to business success; there are only bits of knowledge you haven’t learned yet. How do you find that knowledge? You think. That’s why Napoleon Hill titled his 1937 book, which has sold more than 70 million copies, Think and Grow Rich. He didn’t name it Follow Your Heart and Grow Rich or Learn the Secret and Grow Rich.

    The Kool-Aid salesman isn’t the only one pushing blind optimism and quick fixes on you. You might be doing it to yourself. Sure, the idea for a new production method seemed great after that second glass of wine at dinner, but have you really thought it through? The harsh reality is many of our biggest problems began as our best ideas. As Warren Buffet said, “Optimism is the enemy of the rational investor.”

    So the key to making more money, and keeping it, isn’t chasing down more smart ideas. The real key is making fewer dumb mistakes.

    Imagine how much more money you might have at this moment if you could go back in time and undo any three financial mistakes. Make it a ballpark estimate, and then write it down. That’s just a portion of the “dumb tax” you’ve paid over your lifetime.

    The best way to reduce your dumb tax is to develop the habit of Thinking Time. And the best way to do that is to create a Thinking Time ritual. The next three sections of this Blink will show you how to do both.

    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
