Go To Seminars or School ?

I would rather spend $5,000 and three days to learn how to make millions and possibly billions rather than spend four years and $85,000 to learn how to work for $55,000 or a little more a year for the rest of my life. On top of that, that $55,000 is "earned income".

A college degree does not entitle you to stop learning or to stop increasing your leverage. Neither does a million dollars in the bank entitle you to stop learning. In fact, if you stop learning, your money will soon go to someone who has continued to keep learning. Your money will go to the person who realizes that true leverage is the ability to constantly do more and more with less and less.

You go to school if you want to be a better employee or better professional person such as a doctor, lawyer, or accountant. If you don't care about degrees, promotions, or job security, then you go to seminars. Seminars are for people who want better financial results than a job promotion or increased job security.
