A short YouTube monologue by Eric Deeran (Master Filmmaker) arguing for continuous self-investment and prioritizing saving time over saving money. The speaker advises paying others (or for learning) to acquire skills faster, framing this as a ‘cheat code’ for personal growth and efficiency.
There's always a new level of growth. Like, you're never going to stop investing in yourself. And the people who think they have it figured out are the people who are at risk the most because they think they have it figured out. When, like, nobody has it figured out. You have to keep investing in learning new skills, buying your time back, learning new things that are going to save you more time. Because for me, I'd rather save time than money. I'd rather pay someone to learn the things that took them 10 years to learn. And ultimately, that's the cheat code.
