Ted Turner's Wealth Psychology
Manage episode 474936790 series 2737766
Ted Turner's a pretty amazing man...
— he founded CNN from nothing
— he started the Cartoon Network
— he's won the America's Cup
— he created Ted's Montana Grill
— he launched The Goodwill Games
— he's given away billions to great causes.
This way of thinking is so contrarian to the way most businesspeople think [and that's why most businesspeople never join the ranks of the financial and influential elite].
If your whole focus is on making money, it's off-delivering the staggering value that will create the fanatical followers who will pay you money.
Ted Turner was a Rotarian [as was my father and myself]. The motto of Rotary is: "He profits most who serves the best."
Of course, serve for the beauty and internal fulfillment of serving. But know that the inevitable by-product of phenomenal service to others [your customers, communities etc.] is material prosperity well-beyond anything you've yet to experience.
This is what my latest book The Wealth Money Can’t Buy is all about. Real wealth versus fake success. True winning versus spending your life climbing a mountain, only to find out at the end that it was the wrong one. You can order it now by clicking here.
