You Are an “Illiterate of the 21st Century” If You Cannot Learn, Unlearn and Relearn

“The illiterates of the 21st Century will not be those who cannot read or write. They will be those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” – Alvin Toffler

They are called coincidences…but when it concerns people like me i.e. authentic students of the Philosophy of Personal Achievement, and The Science of Getting Rich (SOGR), VERY RARELY are any such coincidences NOT pre-ordained (to borrow a religious term).

For years I have resisted the impulse, but as I have continued to GROW in the volume and depth of my success using these principles, the natural consequence has been that the Creator, who controls it all, has been gently, but persistently nudging me to begin giving back.

And this is happening in ways that I, as one who is well initiated in this system, can see that it is indeed what He wants.

In the past 2 weeks alone, I have been singled out in various public places by total strangers, in Cotonou, as well as Lagos, for serious conversations about what I know, and do.

And each time the concerned individual has pointedly demanded to have my name, phone numbers and email address, to continue the relationship.

Some want me to share with them insights on how to earn passive income (which they got a hint about from copies of books I was holding at the time e.g. by Robert Kiyosaki).

Others want me to teach them Excel-VB software development, Web Marketing Systems development, for Zero Sales and Marketing etc.

In fact, as I type these words, on such person – a paid mentee – is waiting for me to finish so we can have a short session before he goes off for a church session.

There is a saying that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

A few years ago, starting back in 2003, I was ready and my teachers appeared in slow succession (books and web resources by people I knew could help me), over the past decade.

What I had to do was drop a LOT of what I’d learnt in school, and while in paid employment in the wonderful manufacturing workplace of Guinness Nigeria. A lot of what I knew from back then was simply holding me back from doing as well as I had the potential to, in the real world.

Today, I am better off. And since I began to reap the rewards for my new found form of literacy, I have been seeing so many others lost in the sea of 21st century illiteracy.

It’s the kind that Robert Kiyosaki has been screaming about in MANY of his books e.g. your house is not an asset. Savers are losers. Passive income is the best way to get rich!

Now, those who need my help are opening up, in seemingly coincidental encounters, and I’m finding myself wondering “How come they knew to come to me?”

I say this because I have been working VERY HARD coaching my kids along in their Personal Achievement for Kids Coaching program. And I have been wondering how to reach help others as well. Now, I no longer wonder how to do so. They are finding me out on their own, and telling me they want to be at my next event!

That’s why I’m writing this: The theme of my learning events is Taking Control of Your Life – Financially and Otherwise by UNLEARNING the Wrong Things and Mastering the Right Things.

I’ll be running special FREE workshops on this theme, sharing based on my personal experiences and achievements – and of course what I’ve learnt from studying the masters who have gone ahead of me.

If you’d like to be a part of my events, or would want to get access to the recordings, click here to let me know.
