203 | Why Knowledge Isn't Always Power


Listen Later

In this episode, you will understand why knowledge isn’t always power. Andy explains the difference between knowing how to do something and being actually able to do something because the power only lies in how that knowledge is being applied or practiced to be able to benefit from the results.

 

Tune in now and be encouraged to build upon each success you reach as you execute and act on the information you have.

Quotes:

“Knowledge is only good if we can actually use it to some benefit, and for some purpose.”

“We have to go out and actually put these things into practice. Otherwise, it's anecdotal information.”

“Sometimes as consultants, we think that because we know something, therefore, we can go out and just teach it or we can go out and execute it. The execution part is a lot different than the knowing part.”
