I wish I've understood that earlier cause it would sky-rocket my growth. The funniest thing is, it was right under my nose for so many years
In the last episode I mentioned about 2 categories of mentors - people who you know in person, book authors from any field. Today we'll talk about the 2nd group - the authors that you might not even know personally, but can get an immense value from them. Disclaimer: I'll be mentioning mostly books, but this is valid also for other sources like videos, podcasts, blogs etc.
I'm one of the people who can be blamed for having a pile of books that lay there forever to be read. I see something inspiring and think "woah, I can learn so much from that", doing the purchase and having that dopamine rush, expecting the knowledge will fall on mybrain from the sky and then... Nothing... The book arrives after a few days, lands on the shelf and becomes a new addition to the readers-pile-of-shame. Thankfully I've started digging myself out from that pile, but, not gonna lie, there's a handful of work waiting for me. Today I wanted to share some techniques and lessons learned through the years I think could be helpful.
