Christian Polk's father, a heating-and-air technician, modeled relentless self-education that inspired Polk to pursue high-ticket sales. Polk invested over $50,000 in his own education and credits that knowledge, combined with the right business vehicle, for building wealth his father never achieved.
Chapters
So my dad did heating and air his entire life. Growing up, he did not make a lot of money, but what he did is he instilled a belief that allowed me to make all the money that I've made. Because I can remember every single night that I was with him, because I would only go over there every other weekend because again, he only had part-time custody of me. And instead of coming down, plopping down, just watching stuff on the TV, he would be studying, he would be getting certificates, he would be increasing the amount of knowledge and just basically like what he could do and his income and the quality of life that had, I saw that increase. So really drilled into my brain, if you just work hard and you get the right knowledge, you will make more money and you can improve your situation. And my dad didn't know his dad growing up, and I'm so grateful for the example he set for me. And that's why I became absolutely obsessed with sales. Like, once I got into a vehicle that I was able to actually start making money, I just knew, learn more, put more work into it. And that's why at this point I've invested over $50,000, like, in my education. And because of that, I've been able to reach heights that he's never even dreamed of just because I'm in a different vehicle. So if you can just learn one thing, learning the right knowledge and putting the work behind it in the right vehicle, that's how you'll create the freedom you truly want.
