3 Hours A Day X 12 Years
There’s no magic pill
(Listen to special message👆)
3 Hr/day X 12 years = ?
Jim Rohn was famous for saying, “can you imagine waking up 10 years from now and being 1,000 books behind your competition?”
That has scared the hell out of me since.
I spend on average 3 hours a day reading and listening to YouTube/podcasts. I have made this a habit since about 2010-2011.
A lot of this is time in the car or working out where I can’t do anything else anyway. Or just firing up YouTube at night since we haven’t had cable in 10 years.
As my great friend Aaron Bedor says, “it’s not that you don’t have time, you just don’t prioritize it.”
Which “education” are you focusing on?
I always joke that I have learned way more out of school than I ever did in school.
Like many of the founders said, “once your formal education ends, your real education begins.”
Buckminster Fuller, the friendly genius, was noted as saying that, “schools created brain-slaves. Humans were meant to be generalists and see the forest from the trees.”
Now days, as Gerald Celente says, “most people only see the world through the lens of their work.”
We must be able to zoom out above that “job” and make decisions apart from the work we do each day.
A trick
Often times I find myself falling asleep when I’m reading.
So, I like to throw on YouTube or podcasts so I can listen while I do other things or maybe turn on a documentary or an interview to listen to or watch instead of television in the evening.
Here is my breakdown of the best podcasts, interviews, and channels I am watching or listening to currently:
Beyond Gold and Silver - prepping
Life comes down to two things:
I know not everyone can afford to spend that amount of time studying every day.
As Aaron says it’s strictly just prioritization because we all have the same 24 hours a day.
Priorities and decisions.
That’s what life is made up of.
I hope this week helps shortcut the learning process.
Or at very least the places to look if you want truth from people who are already uber-successful.
Stay strong,
