My mentor, Jim Rohn, used to call knowledge; “bread for the head.” I love that phrase.
Jim’s message was to invest the money required, to gather the knowledge you need; to feed your mind and become MORE.
- Read the books.
- Listen to the audio programs.
- Attend the seminars.
- Watch the DVDs.
Why? Because whenever you look at the people who fail to invest in their education, you find that they are not doing so good. They are out there right now, wondering when their luck will change. They are living where they don’t want to live. They are getting through life, without getting much from life.
How I fed my head
I started out with a few books my older brother gave me. He took pity on me. I was broke and living in a violent, slum. I had no job. I was sick of being broke and going nowhere. So, I decided to read the books he gave me.
8 years later, I found myself financially secure for life, aged just 29. I was married to my beautiful wife and running my own marketing business. I was waking up each day, just happy to be alive.
To get from broke age 21 to secure for life age 29, I invested thousands in my personal and professional development. I have invested a lot more since then.
Don’t do like Joe & Josephine average
Joe happily invests hundreds on the latest phone each year, but wouldn’t dream of spending the same amount on developing his mind.
Josephine happily invests in her daily skinny latte, during her lunch break from the job she hates, but wouldn’t spend the same amount on feeding her mind so she could get a job she loves.
Feed your mind with the knowledge you need and watch what happens to you in every area of your life. I’m telling you, the results can be, as in my own case, life changing.

These images are really working for me, Jim! ha! I’m a big fan of carbs. Anyway, this post came at the perfect timing for my husband and I, as we dive in to the world of real estate investing. There is lots of learn and we are ready to invest in our education! It’s a beautiful thing.
Thanks again,
Laura
That kind of investment, Laura, is the best kind. It makes us not only better businesspeople, but better people.
We can’t pass valuable knowledge to those we care about, if we don’t have that knowledge ourselves.
Truth!
Thankyou.
Doing the above and going without the phone to do it.
Billy.
Ps Using the library and taking mindmaps for later.
Hi Billy. So long as that’s getting you the information you need and you’re using what you learn, it’s unimportant how or where you start.
The key is to get started.
Thanks and appreciate the words.
All the best.
*There is lots *to learn…typo..
Very thought provoking and compelling Jim. I myself went down a rocky path years ago and have changed my lifestyle massively. It is something that I let hold me back, but over the past few years I have started to turn the tide and now I want to grasp at every opportunity that life offers!
Ho Stuart. So long as we use our past as a school and not an excuse, it can serve us well.
Hi Jim,
Wise words indeed.
Knowledge is power!
Thank you.
