Sam Walton's night in a Brazilian jail, stealing from McDonald's & Michael Jordan's
If a survey was to be conducted asking people how humble they believe they are, most people would say pretty humble. Well, Tai Lopez would prove most of those people wrong in this step 3 of the 67 steps.
Step 3 is another core step, you must make sure you understand and learn it before moving on. Go back to it as much as you need it because you will need it! Tai discusses the humility it takes to overcome the fear of being wrong or not knowing. In order to have great success in all 4 pillars you must be humble enough to know you don't know and take action to know it.

The humility needed to succeed
Tai was ingenious when elaborating the content by mentioning great names in the history of humanity such as Sam Walton, Michael Jordan, McDonald's brothers, Pablo Picasso and the list goes on.
With each individual comes a story of humility behind it and how humility is needed to succeed in life.
Sam Walton, for example, would spend hours in his competitors stores learning from them, not directly of course. He once got caught in a Brazilian store going under shelves and checking how they organized items and consequently ended up in jail.

Another great name is Michael Jordan. You may think he doesn't fit in this humility category as the guy passed on a pretty cocky vibe, however, if you hear it from his coaches they will tell you that Michael Jordan was the most coachable athlete they have ever met! A person may come off as cocky but be humble in actions.
Personally, a great take for me was the Robin Hood Mentality which you view every person as having a little piece of gold in their brain and you are trying to take their gold and give it to yourself. There are some people that we just think we cannot learn anything from, however, you can also learn what NOT to do from those people! How NOT to eat, how NOT to act, how NOT to speak and a bunch of other not's!

Now, go ahead a take a personal account of your humility level by asking yourself the following questions:
1- How many books have you read?
2- How many mentors do you have?
3- How much money have you spent on learning? (seminars, audiobook, books, other forms of educating yourself)
From 1 to 10 what would you give yourself?
Thanks for providing this review. I too used the 67 steps to make some realizations, change some behaviors, and change my life some by changing my business practices. Buying it agin for myself and my now adult kids!. Have an awesome day! Cool site… I will come back soon.
I also got my cranberry hibiscus at Echo in Ft. Myers over 13 years ago and I love that they still pop up in my yard. I've been trying to find the exact macros this plant provides to your diet but all I ever come up with is info on either the tea or the flowers. I use the leaves in my salads daily when its growing fresh in my yard. I do prefer the smaller leaves for salad. Any additional info you may have is appreciated!
