How to Build Your Learning Model

Where is the practice? Just like when you're trying to teach your kids to learn the violin, they got to set the practice time. Okay, Mom. Okay, dad. Where is your practice time? We have to have that in our own life. And when you don't have that, I know when I say this, you can get down to yourself, oh, gosh, why haven't I been doing this? This is not an opportunity to beat yourself up for the past. This is an opportunity to learn and go, wow, let me set up this infrastructure in my life. Because learning, when it's set up as an infrastructure, that's how Olympians go from, you know, good to one day a champion at their local level, to one day world level, to one day Olympic level. How they set up the infrastructure around them to keep learning. This is such an important topic. If we're going to have goals and deadlines in our learning, we must never, ever, ever start from scratch or proceed randomly. Never start from scratch and proceed randomly. Not at an advanced level. You're going to spend so much dumb time wandering through the woods not knowing what you're supposed to do. So this is where this idea comes into play. You got to model. Block the learning and practice. Model, block, learn and practice. Model. Block, learn and practice. Me? Well, model is pretty obvious. It means get a plan, get a roadmap, find somebody who's already done it, understand their strategies. Right. You're trying to lose weight. Don't just go to the gym. Find a fitness program and follow that thing. You'll get way more results when you find a program, a roadmap, a way, a style, a method, and you follow that than you ever will randomly making it up. There's nothing you want to do in your life that someone has not already figured out and already laid the path for already through the roadmap. Buy the course, go to this seminar, watch their video, listen their podcast. There's already a model. Never try to advance something without a model. Right? Never try to advance something without a model. Next up, block learn. This means there's blocks of time in every single week of your life for that thing that you are trying to advance. Learn. So it's like, oh, my gosh, I can learn that French pretty quick. Well, you're not going to learn on a weekend. We need to make it sure. It's part of your life. Block learning. When are you going to learn, apply, or practice that thing? Like, schedule it out and schedule your learning out. Like you schedule out your work. So many people, they'll. I look at their calendars and their calendars, all these meetings. And I look at all their meetings, I go, well, meetings are fairly reactive or prospective, right? You're either reaching out, prospecting, or you're reacting in. In interviews or doing status meetings, brainstorming meetings. But I'm like, but where are you learning the things that are gonna advance the company? Where are you learning the things that are gonna advance your health, your relationships, your marriage? If you're married. If I came into your life and I looked at your calendar and you want a better marriage, and there's nothing in next week about where you block time to learn how to have a better marriage, I'm like, how do you think that's going to improve your random date night? No. Like, I remember in relationships when I was struggling because I never learned how to have a good relationship. So in my 20s, I would block time to literally read and listen to relationship programs. I would block time at some point to get therapy or get coaching. Like, I had, like, three, four, five years. Let me say that again. Three, four, five years of studying relationships every week. And if I hadn't done that, there's no way I believe I could have, you know, been blessed to attract or meet or connect with Denise. It came from that learning, and it made me good in relationships with people. I wasn't naturally good that way. I had to demand it of myself. I had to block the time. Okay, and then practice whatever skill set you've you're trying to develop. Same thing. Is it in the calendar? Is it in the calendar? Where is the practice? Just like when you're trying to teach your kids to learn the violin, they got a certain practice time. Okay, Mom. Okay, dad. Where is your practice time? Where is it? Where's your practice time? You want to become wealthier? Okay. Where's your practice time to work on your finances? Where's your practice time to renegotiate that credit card bill? Where's your practice time to hit the gym? Where's your practice time to learn your new skill? Where's your practice time to do the homework? We have to have that in our own life. And when you don't have that, I know when I say this, you can get down to yourself, oh, gosh, why haven't I been doing this? This is not an opportunity to beat yourself up for the past. This is an opportunity to learn and go, wow, let me set up this infrastructure in my life. Because learning, when it's set up as an infrastructure, that's how Olympians go from, you know, good to one day a champion at their local level, to one day world level, to one day Olympic level. How they set up the infrastructure around them to keep learning, to keep leveling up. Hey, it's Brendan. Thanks for watching this video.
