Never Stop Learning
There are higher
chances that putting money in business or other investment will be a failure if
you don’t invest in yourself first.
You will be scammed
or your business will fail because of a lack of preparation and knowledge. It’s
like going to battle without basic weapons and proper training.
What are the Benefits of Never Stop
Learning?
If you’re always
updating your knowledge in your career and business, your value increases. If
your value increases, you can charge a premium to your fees.
So if you want to
increase your rate or salary, you should never stop learning.
How to Learn Faster?
If you want to learn
faster, you should:
- Hang out with
people 10x bigger than you.
- Invest in Books,
Workshops, and Online Courses.
- Apply what you
Learn
1. Hangout with People
10x Bigger than You
When I’m still an
employee, I hang out with people that I want to be like in the future. The
majority of them are entrepreneurs and professionals.
Because of that, I
gained confidence in myself. “Kung kaya nila, kaya ko din”
Hanging out with
them, helps me realized important things that I should learn.
Some of these are
Goal Setting, Journalizing, Consistency, Focusing on 1 thing only, Pricing your
Products and Services, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and many more.
A. Join Accountability Groups
Another priceless benefit of hanging out with people 10x Bigger than you are the accountability
they give.
Remember the
Accountability group, I attended in Pampanga, and the Accountability Group I
hosted in Tarlac. This group is called LYL. It Means Live Your Legend.
It’s a monthly or
quarterly Meet-up where we motivate one another, share our knowledge, and share
our goals.
Believe me, attending
this Meet-Up group changed my life.
If you have a problem
with execution, you should not miss the opportunity of having an Accountability
Group near your area.
2.
Invest in Books, Workshops, and Online Courses
If you’re looking for
faster ways to learn, I believe that the books, seminars, and webinars are the
best investment we can give to ourselves.
For me, books are a
bargain, because you can learn the lessons the author learns in his/her life in
just a few hours.
If you’re not a
reader, you just need to add learning fee, in order to attend seminars
where you can ask questions and meet new friends with the same interest.
If you don’t have
time, there are online courses that you can watch anytime and anywhere.
If you don’t have
money, you can just google things you want to know or watch videos on Youtube.
A. College Life
During
the times when buying a book is expensive for me. I used to borrow books from
Robert Kiyosaki from one of my college classmates.
Also,
I make use of our school library. In our library, I saw and read books of
Stephen Covey, Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill and many more.
As
you can see, this is my way of learning even If I only have little money.
B. Work Life
Now
that I’m working, I can buy books like buying a coffee. When I have time, I
travel just to attend seminars about taxes, accounting, and business.
When
it comes to online courses, I just enrolled in 16 online courses last year. I’m
sharing you this in case you’re interested to know how I learn.
3.
Apply What You Learn
Applying
or teaching what you learn from People and Books are the last ingredient to
learning faster. An example of this is applying to a job or company where you
can use what you learn in school.
If
you're an accounting graduate, look for work that is related to your course.
In
my experience, no matter how many things you learn, you will forget that if
you’re not applying it in real life.
If
you don’t use it, you will lose it.
