  Welcome to The Daily Quote, the podcast designed to kick start
• 0:07
  your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew Mcgevern,
• 0:11
  and let's dive into today's quote from Jim Rohn,
• 0:14
  entrepreneur and motivational speaker who influenced millions
• 0:19
  with his philosophy on personal development.
• 0:22
  He once said if you let your learning lead to knowledge, you
• 0:27
  become a fool. If you let your learning lead to
• 0:30
  action, you become wealthy. Learning to knowledge makes you
• 0:36
  a fool, but learning to action makes you wealthy.
• 0:41
  That's harsh, but it's true. Rhone isn't saying knowledge is
• 0:46
  bad. He's saying knowledge without
• 0:48
  action is worthless, or actually worse than worthless.
• 0:53
  It's foolish. Think about someone who reads
• 0:56
  every book about fitness but never exercises.
• 1:01
  Someone who takes every course on business but never starts
• 1:04
  one. Someone who studies investing
• 1:07
  but never invests. They have knowledge, lots of it,
• 1:12
  but what good is it doing them? They're no healthier, no
• 1:15
  wealthier, and no further along than someone who never learned
• 1:19
  anything at all. In fact, they might be worse off
• 1:23
  because they've convinced themselves they're doing
• 1:26
  something productive. They're working on themselves,
• 1:31
  they're preparing, but they're just collecting information.
• 1:35
  And information without application is entertainment at
• 1:38
  best, delusion at worst. Now think about someone who
• 1:42
  learned something and immediately applies it, reads
• 1:46
  about fitness and goes to the gym the next day, learns a
• 1:51
  business principal and tests it in their work, studies investing
• 1:55
  and puts money in the market. They might not know as much as
• 1:59
  the perpetual student, but they're getting results and
• 2:03
  they're learning what actually works in the real world through
• 2:06
  experience. They're building wealth, not
• 2:10
  just knowledge, but actual value in their life.
• 2:13
  Rhones drawing a line. Are you learning to know more or
• 2:20
  learning to do more? Because only one of those paths
• 2:24
  leads anywhere. The other is an endless loop of
• 2:28
  consumption disguised as progress.
• 2:31
  So here's the question. What have you learned recently
• 2:34
  that you haven't applied? And what's 1 action you could
• 2:38
  take today to turn that knowledge into results?
• 2:42
  Because knowledge for its own sake is a trap.
• 2:47
  Knowledge that leads to action That's well.
• 2:51
  Stop collecting, start applying. That's it for today.
• 2:55
  I'm Andrew Mcgeburn, signing off for now, but I'll be back
• 3:00
  tomorrow. Same pod time, same pod station
• 3:07
  with another daily quote.
