Books & People Are Great Change Catalysts
🎧 We've been enjoying listening to an audiobook "Three Feet From Gold" by Greg Reid & Sharon Lechter. It's a modern day version of Napoleon Hill's classic "Think And Grow Rich" written to share the wisdom he acquired after interviewing the most successful business people in the United States ~100 years ago now. A journey that began when meeting the steel industry business tycoon Andrew Carnegie.
🥇 "Three Feet From Gold" is full of pearls of wisdom from people who have created success in their lives. The consensus from successful goal achievers is pretty much don't listen to the OPINIONS of those who have not created success in the area you are interested in doing so (yet we do 🙄).
📚 The below quote is attributed to the co-author of the book & holds some clues about who we should take advice from if we are looking to create success in life -

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
