Is This the Secret Key to Success?

10/29/2019

0 Comments

 
​“I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little bit wiser than they were when they got up, and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you.” – Charlie Munger

Want to know the “secret weapon” billionaires like Warren Buffet use to fuel their success?

Their biggest piece of advice…

Adopt A “Growth Mindset.”

​
What’s a growth mindset?
You’ve seen people who are stuck in the same place for years… doing the same tasks each day. People like this seem to be like robots running on autopilot…
Well someone who has a growth mindset does the exact opposite. They find ways to “break the shell,” learn new things, and advance in their profession. 

Here’s the most important factor for your growth… keep learning each day. 

In fact, the billionaire investors Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger spend up to 8 hours a day reading!

Now, you don’t have to be that intense but...

Here’s what you can do:
  • Set ambitious goals.
  • Read books related to the goals you set. 
  • Interview experts in your field. 
  • Listen to podcasts. 
  • Watch educational videos. 
  • Take new classes. 
  • Attend seminars. 
  • Create a side business. 
  • Learn a new skill. 
 
If you do any of the above daily… you’ll improve your skills. You’ll start moving closer to your goals faster than you thought possible.

With that said… how about you take the first step now? 

What’s a big goal you can achieve in the next year to push yourself forward?

Leave a comment below sharing your goal! I look forward to reading it!
