How Much Do You Invest in Your Education?

December 15, 2008

This week, I offered a 12-week course for $2000 to learn how to make $50,000 to $100,000 a day.

I thought it was a no brainer decision for those who are technical and have the money to invest in education that will allow them to work at home.

After all, you don’t learn how to make money in school, that’s not its purpose. You have to learn how to make money from someone who knows how to do it.

And good luck finding someone in the top 1% of the country’s truly financially free who will teach you what they do.

The only way to become financially free is to invest in your education (not necessarily college) and diligently apply what you learn.

So how much should you invest?

Well, that depends on who you are, what you want to learn and how you think.

I personally spend about $25,000 a year to attend about 10 professional events of different kinds and buy home study courses and software of all kinds.

(I hesitate to reveal that because most of my Internet friends spend way more than that.)

How can a home school mom afford that?

I budget for it.

I also create the income to pay for it, along with ballet, fiddle and art lessons plus two family vacations a year.

And I’m not the only homeschooler who does this.

One of my best friends that I often see at professional events is Zach McCullough. He is a homeschool dad who created the popular AskDatabase software that many Internet marketers use to create intuitive searchable databases.

Zach and I recently went to dinner together with our oldest sons. He took Wesley; I took Drew. Between the two of us, we’ve had 20 children. (A few are in heaven.)

Most home educators tend to have more than the usual number of kids and therefore more expenses, plus we operate on one-income.

Yet because Zach and I have both invested a lot of time and money in our Internet education, our lives are no longer “normal.”

Zach’s technical partner is Frank Deardurff, webmaster and technical adviser to the Internet millionaires. His marketing partner is the highly successful Internet marketing adviser Alex Mandossian.

Zach and I both live very humble lives, are completely dedicated to our families, yet also understand how to make money with a computer in different ways.

We are not normal. He is truly a genius… and a real nice guy.

If we had not made the investments we’ve made, neither one of us would be where we are.

Success doesn’t happen to you by accident; you have to position yourself for it.

One way to do that is to purchase home study courses and attend live training events.

So the next time you are offered a course you “think” is expensive, ask yourself where it could take you.

The only truly financially free people in the world don’t get there are by accident. They make it happen.

If you really want to become financially free, you might want to try changing the way you think. If you don’t, you’re destined to stay where you are.

If you don’t do something different from what you’re doing now, you’ll always get what you’re getting now.

I want to help YOU be able to afford investing $25,000 a year on YOUR professional education. Let’s start with making $1.

So many books, so little time…
