THE RICHEST, THE LOWER MIDDLE CLASSES, AND THE POOREST MAN IN BABYLON
There are many great principles in the book, the Richest Man In Babylon (RMIB). We share them in detail in many of our trainings. One must know is the concept of multiplying your efforts through the others working not only on your behalf, but completely in your absence.
While building the skill to hire, on-board, train, develop, and sustain a strong team of employees is vital, this RMIB theory goes another mile. Here is a comparison and contrast of a very common entrepreneurs in every town in the same market.
THIS IS A TRUE STORY:
- A repairman I use. He is unbelievably talented and comes up with solutions top engineers cannot seem to figure out relative to home and office building challenges. He and his team are very reliable and will often work weekends and well into the night. He puts food on the table, but would be considered lower-middle class and his workers are barely getting by, have unreliable or no form of transportation, and really struggle with their lives.
- A builder I invest in. He is talented, but in a more limited space then the repairman. Architects, contractors, builders, workmen, and dozens of material vendors do his bidding. I’d call him a wise orchestra conductor with very good taste. He does not work weekends or evenings. He prefers to use that time for hobbies and his family. He’s rich and makes, many other people a whole lot of money, and gives back through tithing and philanthropy.
Which would you rather be?
Can you see the difference?
The fact really is, my repairman is more talented and can be trained to exceed the wealth of the builder. It’s a matter of training and skill – not genetics, talent, luck, or government.
