Learn from the best, nothing less

Transcript

Hey, team. For this week's reminder,

I really want to push you towards the best

in the business.

What I mean by that is

we all have different hobbies, passions

and things that we work towards,

especially if you own a business.

This one might be

extremely important for you.

Seeking out someone who is excellent in

their industry isn't hard to do anymore.

Back in our parents day,

they would have never been able

to have access to these people

who were top of their class.

Now, there's so many platforms out there

where you can actually do courses

or get coaching from people who have done

the things that you want to do.

There's a lot of noise on the Internet

with some people putting out

courses and things that they just don't

have the experience in.

Some people telling you how to make money

when they don't even know

how to do it themselves.

You need to look beyond

those beyond those cheap, cheap prices

and go to the best in the business.

When I was younger and I played football,

I used to watch AFL players on replay

on the TV before I would go out

and play my own local game of football.

There was a reason

I watched the AFL players rather than

watching another local team to pump me up.

That reason was I wanted to see what

people at the highest level were doing.

Not only did it inspire me

because I wanted to be like them,

it also taught me a lot of things too.

You can do the same with whatever

you're working towards.

For example, if you want to be the best

tennis player in the world,

you can actually get coached by people

who are the best

tennis players in the world.

I know it sounds crazy,

but I can link you to a site right now

where you can learn that

if sport is not really your thing

and you're more of a business person,

there are so many people out there

sharing knowledge on how they got to their

first million dollars,

how they built their business

from one employee to 100 employees.

Learn from the people

who have been there and done it.

Don't learn from the people

who are just talking about

what they think sounds right in theory.

There's a book I read a little while ago

and has this quote in it

that talks about Would you take

baking advice from a banker?

And when I read that,

it really stuck with me because

I feel like a lot of people want to give

you advice on things, but 90% of the time

they haven't actually done the thing

or they're not an expert in that area.

Yet for some reason, we still take

on their advice and try and execute that.

I'm telling you, you don't have to take

advice from everyone that gives it to.

You can go to the best, learn from them

and then implement it.

Now, if you're thinking this is going

to cost a lot of money, it doesn't.

We have things like YouTube.

There are people on platforms that are

just giving away information for free.

Podcasting especially.

I have learned so much in podcasts that

I've paid for courses and gone to that

and I haven't gotten out half as much as

what I've learned in one podcast episode.

You might need to do some searching,

but it will be worth it.

If you find the right coach for whatever

you're working towards,

you'll be able to achieve

that goal so much sooner.

So for this week,

I want you to start looking for people

in your industry, people with your passion

who have done the things you want to do

and go and learn from them.

If you're lucky enough,

they might actually be in your life.

You might not need to go online

and watch a course from someone

that you don't know.

You might have the perfect mentor

in your life right now,

but please, please, please

don't take advice from people

who don't know what they're talking about.

Go to the best in the business.

We can do that now. It's 2022.

There are so many opportunities out there.

Don't let old ways disturb your vision.

All right, guys.

That's all for this week.

Put in the comments what your passion

or industry is and where you're

going to have a look to find the help

that you need to get to the next level.

If you have any questions,

I'd be happy to help

put it in the comments

and I'll reply to you with what

I would recommend

or some resources that you can start with.

All right, team. See you later.

Would you take baking advice from a banker?

This week, I’m urging you to be very selective about who you take advice from.

People love to share their opinions, but a lot of the time they are not backed by much knowledge or experience. They truly are just guesses, expressed with confidence.

You have the option to disregard these opinions and go to someone who has actually achieved the outcome you are looking for. With so much content available online, there's no excuse to not be continuously learning from people who are experts in their subject matter.

Be cautious of ‘experts’ on the internet though. There are a lot of people posing to know what they are talking about, but really they have not experienced what they are teaching.

I personally like to go to the best in the biz!

My favourite ways to learn from these people are:

• YouTube

• Podcasts

• And websites like Masterclass.com, NAS academy & Studio.com

This week I want you to look for people in your industry, people with your passion, who have done the things you want to do, and go and learn from them!
