Which Is More Necessary For Success, Courage Or Genius?

In his brilliant book, Zero to One, Peter Thiel, co-founder of Pay pal asks the following question:

What important truth do very few people agree with you on?  It’s very hard to answer.  It’s intellectually different because the knowledge everyone is taught in school is by definition agreed upon.  It’s psychologically difficult because anyone trying to answer must say something he or she knows to be unpopular.  Brilliant thinking is rare but courage is in even shorter supply than genius. The reason Thiel brings this up is because if you want to change you future, you need to find the unpopular truth that you believe and live by it.  

So, when it comes to your business and your financial future, are you living by an unpopular belief or are you just doing what everyone else is doing?  Are you doing anything that makes those around you at least a little bit uncomfortable?  Or are you taking the safe, non-criticism route? Starting your own online business can be unpopular.  When you decide to leave the 9-5 rat race, trapped-in-the-cubicle existence, there will be plenty of people lining up to tell you that you’re crazy.  They’ll tell you you’re taking too big of a risk and they’ll tell you to get back in line and take the road more travelled.  

Don’t listen to them.  If you truly want a different future then you must follow a path that most are unwilling to follow.

If you’re ready for this “unpopular” road, Click Funnels is the best place to start.
