While I don't get anywhere NEAR $30K/year in education costs, I certainly do spend money on it. My wife has gotten irked over it before, but the truth is that these costs come back in the form of higher income. Sometimes the link isn't perfectly logical, but it always happens that way.

There way I do it is to model myself on people who have been there and done it, learn what I can from them, put my own slant on it where possible, and then put it into ACTION until I have mastered it... but the education aspect at the start is still the first step. Dean Mark,

If you don't you're screwed and doomed. And I have to do it myself because I have no successful internet mentor to as Tom says: Walk behind. Maybe I'm Stupid, but I'll continue my self education and doing it. Peace, Mark I still think all the education only takes you so far
and you have to do the rest yourself.

If you don’t you’re screwed and doomed. And I have to do it myself because I have no successful internet mentor to as Tom says: Walk behind.

Peace,

TomL - Spot on. With enough practice, I could learn to do complex brain surgery by figuring it out on my own through trial and error, but I would kill thousands of people in the process. Ok, extreme example, but the same applies... a wise man once told me that running a business is like walking through a mine-field, and therefore, it is best to walk behind someone else who has croseed it before.
