Commandment 10: Every Dollar of Investment Gets a Return

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. โ€” Benjamin Franklin

Myths about Knowledge

Some people believe they can’t invest because they don’t know about investingโ€”another myth. You can learn.

Once you own investments, you’re quickly forced to learn about them. I found ownership to be the fastest way to learn.

Ordinary people think that if they’re not an expert, they can’t do something. That’s a total myth too. You can hire experts for everything.

Experienced Advisors

They may think about things entirely differently and offer insight you would never have had on your own.

The author says his advisors also help him pay attention to his blind spots and are much more detail-oriented than he could personally so they ensure small details don’t slip through the cracks.

He says, “Besides helping me make a better return on my investments and structure my deals to perform as intended, they also help me not to make poor investments.”

A Business Coach

A great business coach can prevent you from making stupid mistakes, such as hiring the wrong people and help you build a better team around you in record time.

You don’t have to learn what they know. They can bring you into deals and opportunities that you couldn’t find yourself and help you structure deals and think about different ways to negotiate.

Think about it like this โ€” if you could go back in time twenty years and invest in Apple and Google, would you do it?

A couple of thousand dollars would be worth tens of millions (or more) now. A great coach is like going into a time machine.

Key Takeaways

  • Hire professionals who are the foremost experts at their craft. You want to learn what they know so you can draw upon that knowledge in the future. This approach ensures that I get the highest level of education in working with them.

  • It makes sense to outsource anything that’s outside your core competencies once you find an expert who will teach you what they’re doing.

Summary

  • Imagine if you hired someone to educate you. You would want to know why they made certain decisions because you’re not paying for the service; you’re paying for the education.

  • A great coach is like going into a time machine. Nobody can ever foreclose or bankrupt your brain or take your knowledge and experience from you.

That’s it for today. Tomorrow, we will read the final chapter Part Three The Call.
