Tapping into the 3rd…
Yesterday I introduced you to my good friend Eric, and told you about some of the experiences he's had since retiring a couple years back – at the ripe ole age of 35.
Even though he was having the time of his life, sailing around the world on his boat, he discovered that retirement ain't all it's cracked up to be.
I'm back today to share another HUGE discovery that Eric made, and make no doubt about it, this is gonna have a profound impact on your life.
But, before I go any further…

Alright not that we've got that taken care of, let's keep moving.
I already told you about the riveting conversation Lisa and I had with Eric when we got together with him a couple weekends ago.
I hadn't seen Eric in quite some time, and to say that he was a changed man since we last spoke would be an understatement.
As the 3 of us sat at dinner on this Friday evening, Eric began to tell us of an incredible experience he recently had.
It happened while attending a seminar.
At this particular event, he had a breakthrough that he explained like this…
When it comes to knowledge, there's 3 specific areas:
1. Things you know you know – such as how to tie your shoe laces, ride a bike, etc.
2. Things you know you don't know – which may include things like piloting a 747, playing the violin, or any other thing you don't know how to do
3. Things you don't know you don't know.
And let me tell you, this third category is HUGE, and when Eric began to explain it to me, I was in awe.
You and I have had many "life experiences", and each one of these experiences has shaped our life for the long term.
It's these experiences that allow us to form opinions and make decisions in our life on a daily basis.
Only problem is, these "life experiences" could be giving us totally WRONG information.
In the course of attending this particular seminar, Eric discovered many such instances from his own life, and I'll share one of the biggies with you here.
Apparently, when he was a kid in 2nd grade, there was a day in class when all the kids were sitting in a circle reading one of the "Dick, Jane and Spot" books.
When it came Eric's turn to read, a couple of the girls in his class began snickering at him because he was having a challenge with his reading.
They even went so far as to tell Eric he was stupid.
Until attending this seminar, Eric had completely forgot about this incident, yet now, for the first time in more than 30 years – he realized the impact this one comment had on his life – even though it was completely false.
As he continued through the rest of his school years, Eric became the class clown.
He never applied himself much in school, and was lucky to pull C's.
Once he got out of school, this behavior continued into his adult life, and his business life.
As an entrepreneur, Eric was constantly seeking the approval of others.
He was fearful to make a decision on his own, or share his thoughts out loud, for fear that someone would think he was stupid.
In fact, as he related this story to me, I was sitting there thinking to myself, "Yep, that's the Eric I remember".
Don't get me wrong, I never thought he was stupid. I simply thought he was unsure of himself at times, just like me.
Even though Eric had built this millyun-dollar a year business, he still felt stupid.
Why?
All because a couple girls in the 2nd grade said so.
You might think that's crazy, but when you think about it for a minute, you'll realize that the same kind of thing has happened in your own life – countless times.
Heck, it's happened to all of us.
Eric went on to tell me that since discovering this (along with MANY other such "life experiences"), he's made some amazing changes.
And let me tell you – I could see it.
Like I told you yesterday, Eric is a completely changed man from the guy I knew a few years back.
He told me about many other such experiences that had shaped his life in the past, yet these experiences were totally false.
What's most interesting about this is the fact that Eric has always been a really great guy, and he's already had a lot of success in his life.
But…
Now that he's come to this realization, it's as if the heaven's have opened and he's seeing his life in a whole new light.
He's now tapped into that 3rd area of knowledge – the things we don't know we don't know.
And like I said, this 3rd area of knowledge is HUGE.
It's also the are of knowledge that gives us the major breakthrough's in our lives.
If you'd like to tap into this 3rd area of knowledge for yourself, here's something you won't want to pass up
