Zen Garden > Wealth - How Could Ken Knucklehead, a Guy With an IQ Under 90, Make More Money Than YOU Do?

You would think that clever people would make the most money. Uh-uh! I heard a few years ago now that the guy who had the third highest IQ in the world was clawing out a living working as a car-washer on the east-coast of Australia.

In fact, some people with the IQ of an intelligent chimpanzee make so much money that it makes your head spin. Look at some of the so-called "rock stars." Then we have certain sports stars. Not to mention celebrities. You are probably already thinking of some names.

But what about that guy down the road? Let's call him Ken Knucklehead for the want of a better name. Ken lives in a big house and he has several fancy vehicles and maybe even a boat. He might even have a number of investment properties that he rents out.

Everybody in the street knows that he is definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed. Yet Ken makes money - plenty of it. He even makes more than you do. Lots more.

Sure, you may have an IQ of 130, or more. You can do calculus, trigonometry. Ken can't. You can write a pretty good letter, even a business report. Ken can't. You can understand complex contracts, even moderately difficult legal contracts. Ken can't.

But Ken makes three or four or five times the amount of money that you do.

How?

Well, Ken has in his arsenal one thing that you do not have. Ken has a METHOD for making money. He may be far less intelligent than you but he has a method and you do NOT. Ken is smart enough to know that all he has to do is keep repeating his method and the money just keeps flowing to him.

What is your money making technique? A job with a wage? A fixed salary?

Let me tell you this for free... if you are not making money OUTSIDE you job then there will come a time that your job just won't be able to supply enough money for you to live the lifestyle that you want. And what will happen when you eventually retire or, God forbid, lose your job? What happens then?

You need to diversify your wealth base. Not to diversify your income and wealth is to put yourself at the mercy of outside forces that you have NO control over. Think about that. Are you ready to learn how to diversify your income? If guys like Ken can do it then what is wrong with you?
