I'm going to keep saying this until it sticks. The most profitable and valuable thing that human beings have ever discovered or created is information disparity.
Everyone basically knows the phrase that knowledge is power, but very few people know how to capitalize on that power.
The way that you capitalize on the power of knowledge is through information disparity.
Say for instance, you are at a flea market. You see a very good quality copy of action comics number one with Superman on the cover. You ask the seller how much they want for it and they say oh those are my sons old comics, I'll sell you the whole box for $5.
Anyone who knows anything about valuable stuff knows that action comics number one is worth it the minimum a million dollars in decent condition.
Now you know that for $5 you can get a million dollars. That is how knowledge is power. That is how information disparity works.
Find ways that you can use information disparity in your favor (without bilking kindly old ladies out of million dollar antiques preferably) and you too will find yourself far more successful than your actual skills and abilities would otherwise qualify you for.
