Ted Turner's Wealth Psychology
Ted Turner's a pretty amazing man...
— he founded CNN from nothing
— he started the Cartoon Network
— he's won the America's Cup
— he created Ted's Montana Grill
— he launched The Goodwill Games
— he's given away billions to great causes.
This way of thinking is so contrarian to the way most businesspeople think [and that's why most businesspeople never join the ranks of the financial and influential elite].
If your whole focus is on making money, it's off-delivering the staggering value that will create the fanatical followers who will pay you money.
Ted Turner was a Rotarian [as was my father and myself]. The motto of Rotary is: "He profits most who serves the best."
Of course, serve for the beauty and internal fulfillment of serving. But know that the inevitable by-product of phenomenal service to others [your customers, communities etc.] is material prosperity well-beyond anything you've yet to experience.
This is what my latest book The Wealth Money Can’t Buy is all about. Real wealth versus fake success. True winning versus spending your life climbing a mountain, only to find out at the end that it was the wrong one. You can order it now by clicking here.
I'd encourage you to really read and study about Ted Turner's life. I mean, he won America's Cup, he started the Cartoon Network, he started the Goodwill Games. This man is an industry titan. Study as much as you can about the way he thinks, the way he behaves, his values, his rituals, his routines. Why? Because as you do, and then apply them and execute them and wire them in, you will get the results he starts to get. One of my favorite interviews is Charlie Rose interviewing Ted Turner. In this interview with Charlie Rose, he went back to rotary. See, Ted Turner was a rotarian, just like my father was a rotarian. And he said, you know, he who serves the best, prospers the most. And at the end of the day, leadership and high performance and being a Titan is about value distribution. to as many people as possible. And if you really want to rise to mastery, wake up every morning and spend five minutes thinking about this fundamental question, reflecting on it, letting this question wash over your brain cells and your heart cells, right to your very core. How may I serve the most people? Because if that becomes your obsession, you will work with love. and everything else will take care of itself.
