“Teach and Grow Rich”It’s true,if you know something of value to others … and can explain it to people in such a way that they understand what you are saying … you can make a small fortune by teaching what you know to others. By “teaching,” I don’t mean getting a job teaching at an elementary or high school somewhere. When I say “teaching,” I am talking about instructing grown men and women … mostly (but not exclusively) businesspeople in seminars, training classes, workshops, speeches, lectures, tele-seminars, Webinars, and other venues where adults go to learn new skills or otherwise improve their knowledge in a specific field of endeavor.Today we live in an information society. People need knowledge, wisdom, solutions, methods, and ideas to succeed at home or on the job. Others will pay you handsomely for that knowledge … provided you can deliver it in an entertaining and educational fashion.
