The Richest Man Who Ever Lived - 'Counsel' Is Key

I'm feeling so inspired by the book I'm currently reading, I just wanted to share.
The Richest Man Who Ever Lived was written by Steven K Scott who had been advised by a friend to study the book of Proverbs in the Bible (written by King Soloman, the richest man who ever lived) to help get him out of the habit of ending up (and failing) in dead end jobs. Long story short, he went from earning less that $1,000 per month to over $600,000 per month but what really grabbed me was what he calls 'Soloman's Accelerator'.
'Without Soloman's Accelerator, you will never achieve any extraordinary dream in any reasonable amount of time. In fact you're likely to give up on your dreams altogether, just idling alone without making significant progress. Most people just give up. Soloman's accelerator changes everything. When used correctly, it will move you toward the achievement of your goals a unimaginable speeds.'
What is Soloman's Accelerator? It is a partner or counselor, defined in the book as 'anyone who can provide needed insight, advice, wisdom or any practical help for the effective achievement of a specific project, goal or dream.'
Isn't that exactly what we have here at Wealthy Affiliate? I love looking at the websites and tips of the high fliers (and am even starting to implement some of them!) Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to give me advice to date. It really is priceless.
