Best book summary on Unscripted by MJ Demarco

 

Introduction        

This book will enlighten us on how to overcome our primitive way of thinking in earning money by running the rat race 

In olden days working for someone without any good wage was termed as slavery, however this is still in existence even today ask me how?

If I remember our parents used to tell us, study well, good grades and get a good job in good company and get a better salary. the Author says this is one of the scripted lives which we live that does not allow us to think anything apart from the above statement. This is not your fault, since our birth our mind is programmed, this way including the mind set of our parents. You might also have heard starting business is too risky and is meant for rich people and not us.

Even I also belong to the same category until I came across this book. Even i agree that the current education system also focuses on the same.

You might have seen and read many posts or advertisement which encourages to buy their products and we tend to fall in that trap. 

This is beautifully narrated as we are becoming MODEL

M- Mediocre

O-Obedient

D-Dependent

E-Entertained

L-Lifeless

 

LET’S LEARN FOUR LIFE CHANGING PRINCIPLES

#1- BECOME A PRODUCER NOT A CONSUMER

There was an article published where the owner was asked why he gives holidays to the staffs and it was learnt that, during weekends people consume what is produced, this does not yield any profit to you rather to the producer. Have you thought about it? This is called the scripted mechanism.
Imagine you have a desire to buy a new iPhone and you will work for whole month to earn enough to buy that, which means you worked for the sake it iPhone working to profit smartphone company.

Remove your consumer glasses and wear the glasses of a producer. There is a saying 'in a gold rush, don't dig for gold. Sell shovels'

look for opportunity code words that will help you build your own business.

#2- DONT CHASE EVENTS, FOLLOW THE PROCESS

You might have seen people performing on the stage and have admired saying this was a wonderful performance but have you even though how much efforts have been put to achieve that wonderful performance, what was the process used ? If you go to the depth of the process the results automatically follow, which means put your efforts and result will follow. Scripted life people have this thinking that all the rich people became rich overnight, but this is not true. Be a action taker and not action faker.

To get a desired output you must follow the process there is not shortcut to it.

#3- BUILD A BRAND, NOT A COMPANY

Imagine you go to the grocery store to buy milk and when you buy milk have you asked the shopkeeper on what the qualification of the owner who produces this. Good product matter you not the owner’s qualification.

I have not seen a single add on high sport cars like Lamborghini, have you wondered why, because the owners of these products think that people who watch they add on the television are not the one will buy them. Just remember that you become a brand based on your constant efforts and quality of your products and not based on your advertisement.

#4- GRADUATION IS NOT THE END OF THE EDUCATION

Many people tend to believe that graduation is end of their education, which is not true, to upgrade your knowledge we need to read books constantly and apply them. If you are an employee, there are so many sites in internet which will help you to upgrade your knowledge and skill and intern your professional growth.

In conclusion

 “We are not taught to be thinkers, but reflectors of our culture. Let’s teach our children to be thinkers. ~ Jacque Fresco, Futurist”

“time is a fuel tank that perpetually burns, permanently sealed from measurement or manipulation. And while your total life rations are unknown, their daily dispensaries are not. Each of us is gifted with twenty-four hours or 86,400 seconds per day. No one gets more; no one gets less. How you honor (or dishonor) these life rations marks the difference between being further entrenched into SCRIPTED dogma or escaping it.”

I highly recommend buying this book which completely change your life
