Two Questions

In this short text I’m only going to ask you two things. The first is that you think or ask yourself what so far in life is the hardest thing you have ever done or achieved. The thing or proposition you put the most effort into, or took the longest time to complete or bring into reality. What was it you might have first thought that could not be done, but yet you did it and even to some extent surprised yourself.

Then to complete the picture or properly we should say the text, the opposite question which of course is - what was the easiest thing you ever did that had so much meaning in your life. Sure there will be many that were so easy you have forgotten them, as opposed to the hardest, simply because by their very nature these opposites carry little or no memory on the side of simplicity whilst the complex of the other leaves greater imprints in or on the mind.

As this is text you are reading as compared to two conversations, regrettably we are unable to compare verbal notes. Therefore I can only illustrate these questions from my own view point and experience. Nevertheless, if you study the lesson and absorb some part of it I am confident you will gain further insight of how to exercise the little gray cells as Agatha Christie would have her hero Hercule Pierrot say.

For me; as I guess would be the same for you, the just exactly where to start on the ‘most difficult’ in itself is almost a nightmare. Life has had so very many, I suspect for us both, items and times that could be listed so. To reduce the number of headings lets take out all the really personal items, such as births, deaths and marriages, keeping the columns for the accomplished or even attempted goals, stages of progression up the ladder of success. The jobs or the work you have done and the rise on the ladder of promotion, or pay increases. Your first house or car and the story leading to that you have now. If you’re worth anything at all, the older in years you may be should reflect in the number of stories or items of this type you can relate. For example, it is not so easy buying your first house, the second is easier as you have some experience from the first and hopefully it is a progression up the ladder of success. My first house was a one bedroom very small cottage with only two downstairs rooms. My wife and I became a family of four in that house. Through work and their learning of how to work smarter, a few house changes later and look at the house I live in now.



But none of this was really the most difficult. All the fine cars, many I had at the same time, the registration numbers on them, these all basically were simple goals I set myself on the way to fulfilling my dreams. Others can and do the same. Successful people are easy to see, maybe not by just looking out of your window but on TV and in the cars which drive past you – as life passes you by. No, the most difficult thing I have ever tried to do is to show others how to put money in their own pockets. Practically all say they want to earn more and some even say they want to earn a lot. But start to show them how and most back away, they don’t trust themselves and don’t want to be put to the test. Even to the extent they will refuse money if you offer to give it to them, or sell it to them. The real stupidity here is that all of these same people fritter money away every day of their lives. The lottery, silly goods at top prices on a credit card and far more put their hand in their pocket from morning till night.

The easiest thing I have ever done as I look back is to go out, buy goods or create services in quantity, come back and sell it to these people. Doing this has made me rich. Try to educate others so that they can do the same has proved to be the most difficult thing I have ever undertaken. All say they wish they were better off than they are – but few want to make the change, what would their friends think of them. No! No!

Of course not everyone falls into this bracket. Otherwise Knoll House Interforum would not have any membership at all. Every single one of my past students have more today than they had before they became a student. Literally, a one hundred percent pass rate. Today some have a lot more, others a little less. When measured correctly it simply depends on their own goals, you can see many of these stories and comments in our free e-Book and our testimonials section.

I except there will never be a time when all want to be better or to lead. For me the problem is finding those that do want to and not just the blowhards, the know-it-alls and yesterday people who in reality have heads as empty as their bank accounts and always will.

Good people are hard to find, because they are busy doing something and in many cases are not looking hard enough or in fact in the right place, to locate the success that can be theirs. That said if this, the high listed site for the creation of personal wealth is not for you then do a friend a favour and pass on the content details. We can aid any self-employed person or any unemployed who is prepared to consider self-employment. We can bring together the people to work together, create new jobs and find the correct ladder of success suited to them both.

Whilst government is still silly enough to want to save all the ‘White’ Elephants from taking the path of most of British industry, we at Knoll House Interforum are taking the route of replanting the greatness of Britain by restoring the entrepreneurial spirit that made it great in first place. Our aim is to show first you and then the world that the ground floor opportunities have more life in them than the old overburdened, overstretched and over managed ones will ever have again.

Join us – tell a friend – or do both.
It’s your life and your future.
