For today's book of the day, I chose "Man Alone with Himself" by Friedrich Nietzsche. He says that everybody aspires to be set apart from the crowd. What do you have to do to become great, to not be just another blip on the radar? In the book, Nietzsche says, "Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies." Too many people create strong convictions and stick with them without ever challenging the idea. You must challenge your convictions if you want to grow. Here are three action points to take:1. What resonated most with you form this video?2. What is an action point that you can take from this video?3. What is a conviction that you need to challenge?Learn more about your ad choices.

I just talked with John Lee, self made millionaire, about how to he made his money. He thinks that you become a millionaire in your mind before you actually become a millionaire in the real world. You need to get in a mental positive loop to reach your goals.I really agree with something else he said, "pay for the best advice you can afford, because you will lose more money on your mistakes."I talk about that in Step #19, "Amazon.com & The $32,000 Brain Budget."
