What If You Make a Mistake?

I developed the following diagram in order to explain why simple book knowledge or classroom knowledge is not enough for total financial success. I will use it as a legend to explain what changes a person may need to make in order to become a financially richer person. I call this model The Learning Tetrahedron.

This tetrahedron is useful in explaining the price to make the necessary changes to become rich—or to make any change, for that matter. It also explains why it is so hard for many people to make the necessary changes.

• What if the market crashes?
• What if I make a mistake?

These are examples of the emotion of fear rising up to challenge the new mental idea. If the emotional thought is stronger than the mental thought, then the physical reaction is often no action at all. A person may go into what is called “analysis paralysis” and waste hours physically doing nothing but arguing internally with their thoughts and emotions.

Rich dad often said, “It is the fear of failing that causes most people to fail.” The fear of failing is an emotional idea that needs to change because that emotional idea often has more power than the mental idea. That is why so few people become rich.

So how do you overcome this fear? I have found that the right mentor and teacher is one of the greatest advantages. For that reason I asked my teacher, mentor and Advisor, Andy Tanner, to create a course to teach you.
