[VIDEO] Duncan Nugget® #19: The Gap Between What You Know And What You Do
Knowledge is power.
That’s one of the biggest lies, myths, and misconceptions about success. At best, that statement is only halfway true because it’s only half of the statement.
Knowledge is power IF…you use it.
I’ve read about this concept in literally hundreds of personal and professional development books. I’ve listened to it in hundreds of audio programs. So, it’s not like this is some big secret or some new concept. But… a lot of people just don’t get it.
The gap between what you know and what you do is crucial to your success. Most people aren’t unsuccessful in life because they don’t know what to do. They are unsuccessful because they don’t DO what they know how to do.
Million-Dollar Question:
What knowledge do you have
parked inside you that you could be using
to drive yourself to greater success?
