Personal Transformation and Paradigm Shifts

Paradigm Shifts – Personal Transformation

by: Ron Sedlak

‘Paradigm Shifts‘ come from ‘aha’ moments and lead to

personal transformations.

These moments come about through self-education.

Money follows knowledge. He or she that knows the

most has the best chance to win. He or she that knows

the rules and has the skill can win most of the

‘games’ played.

You do not have to win every game to win in life. No

one does. You only have to win as much as possible

and for sure you need to win more than you lose.

We are sometimes trapped in ‘games’ for which we do

not know all the rules or even all the players and

how they operate.

The modern worldwide tumultous financial scene is a

prime example. People are losing their retirement

accounts based on destructive actions of people they

do not even know and have never met.

This can give us a disadvantage unless we understand

what is happening and have a way to deal with it. Then

we can still ‘win’ in our lives no matter what anyone

else is doing and even if they are determined to make

us lose.

We need to increase our knowledge and skill.

Business and personal failures can be caused by many

things but foremost among them will always be lack of

knowledge or understanding of how things work, how to

organize and do things and how to deal with the

situations we are faced with.

As a slightly disrelated example, if you do not know

how to treat your spouse, you will likely have trouble

in your marriage.

50 of business is ‘human relations’ – how you respond

to, communicate with and treat another human being. This

is a very important thing to learn more about and to

gradually master, in life and in business.

By survey, college and university graduates make more

income yearly than those not similarly educated and

make more money over their lifetimes by a factor in

the six-figure range.

This makes sense because they have taken the extra time

to learn and have paid the price to gain the knowledge

needed to have a more successful career.

But many six-figure earners and college or university

graduates are still not gaining in their wealth or net

worth (true, income-producing assets) in spite of

their general and specialized education.

So there is still something missing.

What is missing is financial education and education in

personal relations, including relations with ONESELF.

This is the knowledge and skill of dealing with others

on a personal basis (including dealing with oneself and

one’s attitudes, actions and re-actions to things).

And the financial, investment or business knowledge of

how to create increasing lifetime ASSETS that provide

you with passive income so you are not forced to work

every every day of your life just to keep food on the

table.

Money is not everything and cannot buy happiness. But

neither does poverty or uncertainty buy happiness.

Given a choice, it is better to gain the skills needed

to have a higher income and to be able to convert that

income into assets. This makes it easier to live, to

help others if desired and to achieve your goals.

Learning is a continual and transformational PROCESS.

It does not come through reading one book or taking

one course. It is a lifetime dedicated process.

1,000 hours of learning and practice in any subject

gives you a person that knows what they are doing.

5,000 hours makes you a master. This tells you that

cumulative knowledge, practice and application OVER

TIME can make you a master of any subject you desire.

This applies to anything from human relations to

business to martial arts to cooking, to raising

children.

Without a certain degree of PASSION for a subject,

you will not have the persistence to ‘get good at

it’ or master it completely.

Thus it is in your best interests to align as well

as you can:

1. Your life work (activity you have a true passion

for), and

2. Your life income source(s).

If you do what you love and love what you do, and if

what you do is something that can generate lifetime

income for you, then you are set.

You now only have to determine to LEARN everything

there is to know about that subject and become very

SKILLED in it, eventually becoming a master of that

subject.

This normally takes 5 to 10 years. It never happens

overnight. Life change is almost always gradual, one

lesson or ‘aha’ moment building on the last and taking

you to higher and higher levels of certainty and

action.

Action comes from certainty. Certainty comes from

learning and practice.

The process of building your lifetime wealth follows

the same principles. It does not happen overnight.

But with a habit of daily self-education based on

these natural laws it will happen with inevitable

certainty, as sure as the sun rises, as sure as

trees grow and as sure as a girl grows into a

woman. We do not grow up overnight.

The growth process is natural law and the

persistent feeding of the mind (self-education)

causes a growth process as sure as the feeding

of your body causes growth of your body over

time.
