KNOWLEDGE:
There are two kinds of knowledge: general and specialized. General knowledge is of little use in the accumulation of money. Knowledge will not attract money, unless it is organized and intelligently directed, through practical plans of action, to the definite end of accumulation of money. Knowledge is NOT power. It is potential power. It becomes power when it is organized into definite plans of action, and directed to a definite end.
Before you can turn desire into money, you will require specialized knowledge of the service, merchandise, or profession which you intend to offer for fortune. You may need more specialized knowledge than you can personally acquire. In that case, you need a “mastermind group.” A mastermind group is a group of real or virtual authorities on subjects that you are not an authority on.
The accumulation of money calls for power, and power is acquired through highly organized and intelligently directed specialized knowledge, but that knowledge doesn’t have to be in the possession of the person who acquires the money.
Napoleon hill had never heard of the internet, but he would have loved it. He did say that “specialized knowledge is among the most plentiful, and the cheapest forms of service which may be had.” It was true then, and it’s even more true now.
It pays to know how to get knowledge.
