What determines how much you make?

Think you'll get paid more the better you are at your instrument? Think again!

In his book Attitude 101, John C. Maxwell writes the following:

"The Stanford Research Institute says that the money you make in any endeavor is determined only by 12.5 percent by knowledge and 87.5 percent by your ability to deal with people."

"87.5% people knowledge + 12.5% product knowledge= Success"

"That is why Teddy Roosevelt said, "The most important single ingredient to the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people."

"And why John D. Rockefeller said, "I will pay more for the ability to deal with people than any other ability under the sun."
