Millionaire Shortcuts 3 of 42: Your path in life have already been walked by others, do not waste your time on trial and error

Hard work alone does not lead anywhere unless you work smart, you can put in as many work hours you want and still not reach the next payroll level. Concentrate more on working smart rather than only working hard to reach your goals. Seek mentors and experience from others that has already walked the path to success. Look at other people that has achieved what you are trying to achieve, they got there with the help of mentors, trainers and guides showing them the way.

Albert Einstein developed the theory of relativity had Max Talmey as a mentor
Barrack Obama, former president of the USA had Frank Marshall Davis
Steve Jobs the founder of Apple – Robert Friedland
Stephen Hawking developed the theory of black holes and quantum physics was a student of Dennis W. Sciama
Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft – Ed Roberts
Conor McGregor, Ultimate Fighting Championship star had trainer John Kavanagh
The greek philosopher Aristotle had the philosopher Plato who again had Sokrates as teacher

If Albert Einstein, known as one of the smartest human beings that have existed throughout history could learn something from his weekly lunch guest Max Tamely. We will have to be humble enough to realize that we still have a lot to learn in this world. You do not have to waste your time on trial and error when somebody has already done it for you. There are two ways to learn, either by someone else or by trying and failing alone.

They who achieve a lot are not those who only work hard, it is those who work smart with knowledge they attain. If you visit a new town you have never been to and are searching for an address we already have tools like maps and GPS who will guide you to the correct address, you do not want to be they person running around blind looking for street signs. If the world’s most successful people needs mentors for showing them the road in life, both you and me too need someone to guide us. Seek knowledge and mentors, invest in yourself and do not try to go through life without a plan or a map.
