Short excerpt from a YouTube video titled "Pay to save time" (Eric Deeran - Master Filmmaker). The speaker emphasizes continuous personal growth, warns against complacency, and argues for investing in learning and hiring expertise to 'buy back' time—preferring to save time rather than money by paying others who have already spent years developing skills.
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.
