Why do we so often act against our better judgment? Don't you have enough ideas about what you could do to improve the quality of your life?

A typical Berlin saying goes:

It's not my father's fault that my hands are freezing,
let him buy me gloves.

Would you rather freeze than take responsibility yourself? Every one of us probably knows someone who says: If this isn't available on a sickness certificate, then I don't want to do it for my health. Crass, but so common. There are so many examples. New Year's resolutions. Or why is it said, don't hide your light under a bushel? Because it happens so often! 7 million minimum wage earners don't change their situation.

Where do you do it like that?

I've often experienced it in the seminar sector. In the millionaire workshop, for example, I heard: "Nothing new either, I've heard it all before." I had a special chart so that this saying, which I had once heard during a coffee break, would not be heard again without reflection. Because it means: "I know it, but haven't applied it, so I'm knowledgeable, but not rich." Omniscient but incapable.

I also experience time and again that someone says that the seminar is too expensive for them. Without having experienced the content! They have only seen the price tag and compared it with their own emotions or wallet.
"Expensive is unfair" is then the deep-seated, unreflected thought. However, a price that is higher than you can afford or don't want to afford can still be fair! "Expensive" and "high price" are fundamentally different.

In this context, someone once said, I just think economically. What was meant was economically sensible. And that was the trap. Price-conscious just means being aware of prices. That is by no means an economic understanding. My favorite example is the auctioned lunch with Warren Buffet. Someone paid 2.4 million for a 2-hour lunch with Buffett. A lot of money, sure. But expensive? Who knows! If the bidder had good questions about investments, access to Buffett could have been very profitable for him.

In seminars in German-speaking countries, I usually find that the seminar price is extrapolated in order to find out what the trainer or speaker earns. Firstly, the costs of the event are seriously underestimated by laypeople and secondly, the comparison is nonsense. After all, it's not about what the trainer earns. It's about whether the seminar fee is a good investment for the individual participant. That is the right question. If I pay 10,000 and get a value of 50,000, then this is a good investment! So many people stop at a financial level because they think in terms of price and because they can't think in terms of investments and returns.

Go to a seminar and pay good fees and focus on what you can get out of it. But implementation is your own responsibility!

As the saying goes: good advice is expensive, meaning it costs more money. But it can save you time, avoid mistakes and thus damage, and it can also help you achieve great economic success more quickly.

Don't let your emotions hold you back from success. Fair exchange also means a willingness to pay fairly. The bottom line is that cheap is often much more expensive.

And above all - don't judge anything on the outside. Decide who you want to be on the inside. It's not about finding yourself, it's about inventing yourself. Create yourself! Over and over again!
