Flood your Mind, Learn Quickly

It is inevitable that some day I will be asked what gave me authority to write for a Christian website on the area of personal finance. I have no formal education in finance, I haven’t been through major financial trauma, and I surely haven’t had years of financial experience.

However, I have graduated from a Christian college with a degree in counseling. But does this alone warrant my advice on financial matters? I think not.

There has to be something more, and there is; I flooded my mind with financial concepts. I constantly listen to financial radio, read books, peruse blogs, and stay extremely aware of our own finances. I’ve drenched myself in financial ideas to the point that I can see trends that lead toward success.

The purpose of this article is not to build me up. The purpose of this article is to show you that you can do the same.

If you flood yourself with information you are interested in, it will naturally make you a sort of “expert” in that area. We live in the information age. What a wonderful opportunity! Take advantage of all the knowledge that is one click or page away.

GRAB any content you can. Feed yourself with it. If you have an interest in a certain area, you need to surround yourself with it. People can be your greatest resource. Find a mentor to help you in your particular arena.

You can learn quickly. Don’t settle for a standard education. Find something you love and dive in!
