078: Conquer the Learning Curve WITHOUT Cutting Corners


Listen Later

Taking the first step towards conquering a goal, learning a new skill, or studying a foreign language is often the greatest challenge. We’re confronted with doubt, thoughts of giving up before you even start run wild. Everything you dream of achieving sometimes feels unreachable. Maybe it’s because you feel disadvantaged. Maybe it’s because the activity you’re pursuing has physical and/or financial risk involved. Maybe it’s simply the fear or the UNKNOWN. DO NOT LET self-doubt and anxiety stop you from TRYING! 

Simply put, a learning curve is the rate of a person's progress in gaining experience or new skills. The length and shape of your learning curve plays a critical role in analyzing how fast you’ll be able to master a discipline or succeed in accomplishing a specific goal. Too often though, people expect INSTANT GRATIFICATION. 

Quote: My mother always taught me never to look back in regret but to move on to the next thing. The amount of time people waste dwelling on failures rather than putting that energy into another project, always amazes me. I have fun running all the Virgin businesses-so a setback is never a bad experience, just a learning curve. – Sir Richard Branson


Skills don’t get mastered on the first shot. Skills are sharpened and perfected over time, after tackling obstacles and being faced with adversity.


Failure speeds up the learning curve when you take the time to analyze and absorb information from your mistakes and the mistakes of others! 

SIX Actionable Methods to Accelerate Progression through the LEARNING CURVE:

  • Number ONE: Leverage Past Experiences and Best Practices.
  • Number TWO: SMART Goals! 
  • Number THREE: Simplify. CONSOLIDATE and Prioritize. 
  • Number FOUR: You’re only competition is YOU. 
  • Number FIVE: TAKE NOTES. 
  • Number SIX: Teach YOUR Craft to Someone Else.
