2. I love the book "Freakonomics."

3. I always like different ways of looking
at things.

4. One very flexible mindset to have is
"models of the world."

5. Too often we get caught up in our own
way of thinking, which is necessarily
limited.

6. We all have unique experiences,
beliefs, biases, etc.

7. One way to "think outside the box"
either for fun, or to shake things loose
in your life is to try on different
"models of the world."

8. If you're a fan of the old TV show, "The
X-Files," they did this all the time.

9. Two FBI agents investigating
paranormal stuff.

10. One guy believed in aliens, the other
believed science always had an
explanation.

11. One of the reasons the show was so
successful, and developed a HUGE cult
following, was that BOTH angles
(science and paranormal) were
plausible.

12. Either could be used to describe what
had happened in that particular
episode.

13. One of the presuppositions of NLP is
that "all else equal, the person with
the most flexibility will prevail."

14. Meaning if you are looking at a
problem, and you only have ONE way
to solve it, once you get stuck, you're
done.

15. But if you can switch out different
"models of the world" until you find a
solution, even if it isn't one that fits
your favorite "model," you'll generally
do better than the one-model-
wonders of the world.

16. As I'm sure you know, life is nothing
but problems to be solved along the
way to your goals that will be
achieved.

17. The more successfully you can
overcome those INEVITABLE obstacles,
the easier of a time you'll have.

18. One of the things they looked at in
"Freakonomics" was that people that
made a lot of money tended to have a
lot of books.

19. Even in the book, "The Millionaire
Next Door," one of the things that
found out about your average run of
the mill millionaire is that they got
their money very SLOWLY.

20. Not by mumbling some magic words
from the Law of Attraction.

21. By getting into the world, every day,
and getting it done.

22. And their preferred form of
entertainment as not TV or movies,
but books. And not just fiction, but
non-fiction.

23. You can learn a lot of "models of the
world" by reading Biographies of
famous people. Or classic stories from
literature.

24. People from different times, different
political and economic systems,
different religions and different
ethnicity's.

25. The more you learn how OTHER
PEOPLE throughout time have
successfully solved their problems, the
more flexible you'll be when you come
up upon your own.

26. You can even be like Napoleon Hill,
who created an IMAGINARY GROUP of
people from history that he talked to
on a regular basis.

27. Whatever works!

28. They say you should spend ten percent
of your income, and ten percent of
your time, on self-improvement.

29. Learning skills.

30. Improving skills.

31. After all, this strategy made a lot of
people a lot of money.

32. Why not you?
