I like the saying “People don’t have business problems; they have personal problems that reflect in their business”. Also, it's not about going $1k to $10k/month, it's mostly about the lessons you learn in the process. Learn the life&business lessons, and the income will reflect the lessons. AKA Pay down your ignorance debt.
How to learn?
These are the 7 steps of outlearning everyone
1. Understand what learning actually is
Learning means changing your behavior in the same situation. If you react differently than before, it means you learned something. Simply consuming information (watching videos, reading) is not learning unless your behavior changes.
2. Deconstruct the skill
Break the skill into smaller components instead of treating it as one big thing. Identify the individual parts that make up the skill so you can practice each one separately.
3. Define success
Clearly define what success looks like before you start. If you don’t know what outcome you are trying to achieve, you won’t know whether you are improving or not.
4. Ignore the “black box”
Focus on observable behaviors of top performers instead of vague ideas like “talent” or “natural ability.” Study what successful people actually do and replicate those actions.
5. Measure progress
Track your performance with numbers or metrics. If you don’t measure it, you can’t improve it, because you won’t know what is working and what isn’t.
6. Analyze and iterate
Regularly review your results, identify what is working or failing, and adjust your approach. Improvement happens through constant testing and refinement.
7. Repetition (high volume practice)
Do the skill many times. Massive repetition builds mastery because each attempt provides feedback and strengthens the behavior you’re trying to learn.
