Week 60: Learn from others!!

Dear reader, 

If there is something you want to do, know more about or become better at then often you can look for the right people that have been able to achieve what you want to do. By finding the right people that are able to teach you is far greater than keep making the same mistakes and failing at what you are willing to achieve. Most people that are good in something and are specialized are glad to help you to become better at whatever it is. 

During the last few years I have been discovering most of my development myself. But at some moments and with somethings it is good to have someone you can ask for advice or more information. This week I am going to talk about what you can learn from others and what they can learn from you. In taking the steps to reach your success having someone around can have great advantages and maybe you can even help each other in some way or another. 

Share the knowledge: 

In this day and age it is easy to gain any type of knowledge that you want. With asking a question on Google or YouTube you are able to gain thousands of pages on one specific subject. Without the use of giant text books to look for just the one part you are missing or gaining unnecessary information. The way you formulate your question and ask the public can change the way you get your information. Even just a simple post on Instagram can help you to find the right person that you can learn from. 

Sharing knowledge has become a valuable commodity. By sharing your experiences on YouTube, twitter or in a blog you can make you some kind of money. Even if you just pay a share premium you are able to gain more information than you could have ever imagined. Also once you pay for someone else's knowledge you will listen more closely and use the advice more then if someone is giving it for free. By sharing knowledge it is easier to make sure you won't make the same mistake as other people and you might even gain more success then the other.

Who to ask?:

The most important part of sharing knowledge and finding out the right information is by looking for the people that have been able to achieve what you want to do. This can be anything you want. The first and most logical step is to look for people within your own social network of friends and family that have had success with the same subject. By just asking them how they did it and what they have learned from the process can help you to divine what steps you might need to make. 

In my life I have had some help to, at a certain point I had multiple coaches for different things. I had a coach that was helping me to eat better and work out more to gain muscle, I had a coach that helped me with investing and sharing his over 50 years of experience with the markets and a coach that was helping me to look at the next step I wanted to take in life with regards to work. Most of these coaches I found within my own network and they have all achieved a level of expertise that they are able to share their knowledge with someone else. 

Learn from others for your success:

As I mentioned in the introduction it takes small steps to become successful at whatever it is you want in life. By finding the right person and having them around can be of major influence. Not only will some of the steps help you but also to create the similar type of mindset that changes your behavior and let's you explore more than you could have ever imagined. You can also look at what you are good at and use it to trade knowledge so both parties can benefit and grow. 

For me it has become more and more important to find other people that have more knowledge than me about something that I can learn from. For the most part I do like to discover everything on my own. But sometimes it feels like I need more or different information that can help me further to discover new things about whatever it is that I am chasing at that moment. Also I have learned that paying someone for their service is more efficient than to just keep going in circles.

So whatever it is in life that you want to do or become look for that person that has achieved the desired success you wish to have. Once you have been able to reach a level of success people will follow you and ask you how you have done it. Whether you wish to be paid or do it for free is up to you but the knowledge that you have can be powerful and maybe benefit more people than you can ever imagine. 

Thank you for reading and see you next week.
