What matters is how a person had to change to become the person who had the value of a millionaire. The opposite of an explorer is a cynic. The cynic looks for reasons why it will not work, for ways to maintain the status quo and continue to do nothing. The explorer is seeking new information and ideas that will lead to the next level. You need to work continually to find the best path to achievement, then put in what it takes in order to start down that path.
Investors buy the best deal, the best book, the best tape series.
They are the people who are constantly reading, who are listening to audio tapes in their cars. They look for others who have been where they want to go, or who are going in their direction but are farther down the path. They stop and ask for directions when they get lost in life. The opposite of an investor is an excuse maker. Excuse makers are always looking back and covering their tracks.
