Knowledge is NOT Power

Patienceandhustle.com to check out the new guide to start your own podcast, as well as new shirts and hats! Knowledge is NOT Power You’ve heard knowledge is power. Well, I’m here to tell you that is wrong. Knowledge is not power. Knowledge alone hold no power without action. I recently met up with a buddy of mine, Eric Jones, who you can find on Instagram as Doctor Dapper. He is the owner of LFLS Shoes, like father like son, and Riff Marketing. He started giving me some really great advice to improve my Instagram page, and grow my brand. Later that day I started listening to a book called “The 12 Week Year” by Brian Moran. In the beginning of the book he starts talking about this concept of “knowledge is power” is in correct, and that without action, knowledge is useless. That really got me thinking about what Eric had told me to do about my branding, and Instagram page. There are two options: 1- I can just keep doing what I do and ignore the knowledge I was given, or 2- I could take action and use the knowledge given that has been proven to work for him and many others that he has helped with their brands. So you see, the knowledge alone won’t help me unless I do something with that knowledge. Not all knowledge is created equal. So you have to first make sure you’re not just taking advice from just anyone. You want to see that they’re drinking their own medicine before you take a sip. Make sure this person you’re taking the knowledge from knows what they’re talking about, and show proven success with it. Is knowledge power? No, it is not. Knowledge with Action, is power.
