Who can you trust?
Everybody has their own (often hidden) agenda. Also, they will always promote a philosophy that validates their own biography.
In other words, the overwhelming majority of people will lie to you. It's not that they are bad people or have bad intentions. And it's not always an outright lie. But they will hide parts of the truth or they will present the facts in a way that leads you to jump to the wrong conclusions.
Why do people do that? Because they want to control you. This is how people achieve power, whether it's social, economic or political: by controlling other people's knowledge and perceptions.
So who can you trust?
Who will give you valuable information and knowledge that will help you to liberate yourself so you can realize your full potential?
Only one person: the person whose economic interests depend on your performance.
Example: if you bought a Second Cup franchise at $150,000, you can be sure that the franchisor will always tell you the truth about your performance and will do whatever is necessary to transfer to you the required knowledge so you can perform well. The reason, of course, is that franchisor only succeeds if and when the franchisee succeeds.
Since a percentage of the franchisee's monthly sales is paid to the franchisor, the vital economic link motivates the franchisor to empower the franchisee as much as possible to continually ensure greater success.
However, in one's private life, there is no such economic link. People in your network don't necessarily want you to succeed, because then it would reflect badly upon them.
For this reason, even friends sometimes withhold information or resources or opportunities from one another. This is not about morality, it's simply a survival instinct.
But it doesn't change the fact that vital information and knowledge will always be hidden from you, UNLESS there is an economic link whereby the more you succeed, the more someone else succeeds. Only then will the other person be motivated to give you all the knowledge you require to succeed.
This is simple to understand, yet most people go through life getting information from people who have absolutely no interest in their achieving success.
This is precisely why there are "success secrets" everywhere yet they are hidden from people's view or consciousness. These secrets are only transferred from father to son, or mother to children. This is why rich families remain rich, while poor families are stuck working for capitalists their whole lifetime.
The success secret is to find someone who can teach you important things, and to create a formal arrangement whereby he/she gains economically from your performance in business.
