This is one of my favorite sayings and something we reiterate time and time again with our clients in our coaching program.
There is a huge difference between knowing about something, and truly knowing something.
True knowing comes from experience. And experience only occurs through application of the principles
Reading about other people's experience can be useful, but it becomes useless if you never engage with whatever it is yourself.
I see many fall into the trap of knowing about something and thinking that will actually create change. It won't!
The application over time of the right knowledge will absolutely change your life.
Just knowing about something because you watched a video, read a book, heard it from someone, etc, and then not applying it, will get you no further than when you started.
It's like knowing how a treadmill works, never actually stepping on it, and expecting yourself to become fitter.
The principles when applied work for everyone. But they must be applied. Or else it's just potential swimming about in your head in the form of info.
I certainly am a recovering information gatherer myself. I used to think the more I know, the more I'll succeed.
So I accumulated a lot of knowledge, felt entitled to "success" because I had done so, didn't stay consistent with my application of it, and..
Was broke, frustrated, confused, angry, and downright miserable.
When I finally put my pride aside, committed to application through working with someone, I started getting phenomenal results.
So, my invitation is to simply keep in mind...
Knowing and not doing is the same as not knowing! Don't be the information gatherer
