165: How To Learn Any Topic 100x Faster Than Normal - #GrowYourLife

Hey, everyone, thanks for listening to the Grow youw Life podcast. My name is Jeremiah Krakowski, and if you haven't heard this podcast before, I help coaches, trainers, and consultants grow their business past the $30,000 mark and beyond. We've had a number of clients that have grown their businesses to over eight figures. That's over $10 million. Starting from scratch with the techniques, tools, tips, tricks and strategies that we teach you on this podcast. Now, today, I want to show you how to learn any topic faster than you've ever learned before. Almost like a superhuman type learning ability. The truth is we live in a world where artificial intelligence is within our grasp. And right now, you have access to this type of AI to help you learn different things. And so I'm going to give you some of my strategies that you might not even realize that you've been using to use AI to learn faster.

Okay?

One of the biggest ways is YouTube. Okay? A lot of people don't realize this. YouTube has an algorithm that is based off of artificial intelligence that looks at what videos you watch, what videos you like, and then suggests other pieces of content to you based off of what you're watching. And so if you're trying to learn any topic, YouTube is one of the best places to start. And it will suggest additional pieces of material for you beyond that, okay? Based off of what you watch. So, like, if you want to learn principles about scaling your business, about motivation, about thinking better, about programming, about marketing, YouTube is one of the best places to go. And what it is, is the algorithm is going to show you pieces of content. So let's say you're wondering about NFTs, right? A lot of people ask about NFTs. So you type in NFTs and instantly you have the top videos on the first page of YouTube search about the topic. You could become essentially an expert by watching through some of these videos in less than. In less than an hour or two for free. And we have access to this our fingertips. Okay, maybe you want to know about. About sales, okay? Or selling more online, okay? You have access to videos that are on YouTube about different topics. Now you might be like, okay, maybe I want to know about selling more coaching programs, okay, See, then you want to niche down. You want to get specific with exactly what you're looking for and learn how to search better. So we have access to YouTube. We also have access to Google. Again, Google uses artificial intelligence to give you their search results. In fact, they have a button here that says how search works. Our mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.

Okay.

And so they go based off of what you're searching. They map the content. They present it in a way that helps you find the content. Now, sure, there's an argument like, oh, this is, you know, they're censoring stuff. They're censored content on most of the topics you're gonna search. Unless it's like medically related, it's not really something you have to worry about too much. If you're looking for stuff that is censored, DuckDuckGo is a search engine that you can go to that is, that is not censored the way that, that Google is. Okay, why use it instead of, they don't have the trackers. They're. They're stuff like that. But the problem with that is DuckDuckGo is then based off of SEO. So honestly, if that's your reason for not using Google, for not using YouTube, realize that you're missing out on so much information that you can learn. I hear from a lot of people that like, yeah, I don't want to use Amazon, I don't want to use YouTube, I don't want to use Google. I don't want to use Facebook or Twitter because it's owned by the, the elites. And it's this conspiracy theory mindset that we should no longer do business with these companies. Whatever. I'm, I'm, I'm sorry, but there's so much access to information out there that, that it would be absolutely stupid to, to operate and think that way to not use those companies. Okay, so for instance, Google, you can search any topic again, how to sell more online courses. And we have, of course there's ads that are at the top. Right? But we have articles. I mean, this is great. Kajabi, they sell so many courses. This will teach you any topic that, that even I share with you. You can find the baseline level of those topics. How to reach restaurant owners to sell services to them.

Okay.

How to approach restaurants to sell your product. What's the best way to market services for restaurant owners? How to sell thyroid support online. Okay, so now this is more based off of supplements. How to sell health. Healthcare online might be a better search. Tips to sell health insurance. How to sell health products. And so these are just articles that are all listed right here. Again, you go to YouTube and what I'll usually do is I'll search for a topic on YouTube, I'll search for it on, on Google. And the truth is whether you're selling Any insurance or health care. You can actually learn a lot from a lot of these different videos. It's the same mentality. It's the same mentality that people have. Okay, so we typed in right here, how to sell health care online. It pulled up more about health insurance. Then we searched it in YouTube and it pulled up about selling insurance. But these are, these are actually going to be videos from people that they've put online about how to sell in certain markets, such as healthcare, health insurance. And so you want to find that information just by listening and learning. You can grow better at this. Now let's say that you're not wanting to learn a topic that's related to sales or your business. Okay, let's say you just want to learn something in general. So I've been wanting to learn a lot about comic books and writing. So I looked up all the videos that I could about. About writing novels. You know how, how to, how to write a novel. Okay, went through different videos. How to write comic books. Okay, went through these different videos. This channel was one that I really liked a lot. You can see a lot of them. I've watched through these different videos. How to program with. With Python. Okay, this is about programming. You can learn all of this over at YouTube. There's so much access. Now the next level that I love is to go over to Amazon. Once I dive into some videos through YouTube, I go over to Amazon and I find all the books on the topic. And here's why I like books. Books take all of the overview of what would be in videos and put them into one place that you can go through and you take notes as to what stands out to you. Okay, so how to write comic books. Stan Lee's how to Write Comic Books. I actually had the book right over there, Art of Comic Book Writing. I have that book over there, how to make Comics like the Pros. I have that book over there, literally. So I read through these books and they gave me a bird's eye view of the whole industry. It actually showed me that maybe I want to write a graphic, not a graphic novel, but write a young adults novel. So now I'm looking at, okay, how to write young adult fiction. Completely different topic. How to market a book. Writing young adult fiction. So these are some of the books that now I'm starting to explore and starting to look at to learn what I don't know about. And this all happens by. It started with a Google search. It started with YouTube videos. And that's how I learned things. That's how you can learn stuff faster than most people. See, I see a lot of people make the excuse, well, nobody ever showed me how to do that, so I can't do it. That's a really lame excuse. Because if you're living today in. In 2022, if you're living today in 2022, that. That excuse that nobody showed me how to learn something, how to do it is not valid. It's just not. That was valid 15, 20 years ago. And I don't mean to invalidate your experience, but when it comes to the Internet, when it comes to what's available to us, we could take this to the next level. And this is something that I really want to show with you. You might say, well, I need personal guidance and mentorship from people. I have an answer for you. Facebook groups, Literally Facebook groups. My Facebook group, we. We run Facebook groups for people where there's a Facebook group if you want to learn how to. How to trade stocks that. That. That my mom runs. How to trade stocks and crypto. How to trade stocks in down markets. Like, there's a group, if you want to learn about worship songwriting that you can join. This is another client of mine. I. I have my group right here, the grow your life community, where if you have any topic about your business as a course creator, coach, or trainer, you can learn by posting in this group as well as going through my podcast. Okay, maybe those aren't the groups you're looking for. So what I did when I was learning comic books, I typed in the word comic books, and I found this group right here. I create comic books. 15,000 members, and I just started posting my questions that I would ask a mentor, literally. I actually want to show you some of my questions that I posted here. Your content. Here's some of the stuff I posted in the group. Here's some of the posts. Artists and illustrators, what would you look for in a writer? Producer? I spent four years learning the process. One thing I'm not too picky, Controlling of their design. Okay, so I'm going to view this in the group. The amount of responses that I got back from people. 23 comments. All from people. I made friends with, like, two of the people because I really liked what they said, asked them more questions in direct message. They were open to it. People are willing to help you if you're willing to ask. People are willing to show you what you don't know if you're willing to ask. Okay, so I posted it in this group. Illustrators. Feedback desired. Writing a Script. I shared the example of the script. I shared what the layout looked like, what the script looked like. Got 54 comments back from people. Some of them were a little more critical than I liked. I learned to develop thicker skin around that wasn't too worried. Focus on the people that were more supportive.

Okay.

You're not going to be supported by everybody, but you will find. Don't get into arguments with people. There's a lot of people that are out there that are willing to support you.

Okay.

So then I posted.

Okay.

You know, super thankful for this community. I'm a writer that can't draw. Very visual imagination Working my first script when I hire. What should I look for? 25 comments from illustrators right here. This is all just in the course of like a couple weeks. Look at. You can see the timestamps. March 31, April 18, April 19, April 20. Has anyone decided thought of merging interactive storytelling with comic books? And then I said, hey, after being here about a week, I decided not to make a whole comic book, but maybe an illustrated book like this. Got a ton of support from the community that had followed my previous posts. These were all the same people that were commenting back. They're like, this is so cool. I love it. Great idea. You go for like they were excited and cheering me on and, and, and, and just a month prior, like I had no, no clue on that. I'd been studying it for about four years, but really had gained very little knowledge on it until I started reading the books, watching the videos on YouTube, going through Facebook groups and asking questions. Some of you are too afraid of other people not responding the way you want them to, that you won't go out there and post in Facebook groups and ask for help. You gotta break past that ego that is stopping you from getting the help you need because you're afraid of how other people will respond. Well, you need to learn how to communicate directly and specifically what you want to learn from people. If you're getting vague answers, it's because you asked the wrong questions. That's it. So learning how to ask the right questions. How do we learn how to ask the right questions? We learn by asking more questions. See, then this is the part where most people will never get it. They'll watch this video, they'll never do anything with it. You're going to ask the wrong questions. You're going to make mistakes. You're going to get some people that are pissed off that you even asked. But you'll get better at asking questions by doing it more and so don't let the negative feedback of 5% of people stop you from doing the thing that's going to unlock genius in your brain. There is no reason, no excuse in 2022 to say nobody ever showed me how to do something. Nobody ever taught me. Nobody ever walked me through the process. And so that's why I can't reach my goals. It's the biggest load of crap, the biggest lie that people have convinced themselves of in our culture today when we have so much access to so much out there. And I just walked you through how to learn from it. Now, if you're not going to search on Google, search on YouTube, join Facebook groups, ask questions and you just and look on Amazon for books, I can't help you. You have chosen to stay ignorant. You have chosen to not walk the path to learn what you need to because it's easier for you to complain, whine and moan about how you're a victim to everybody else in the world. That never sets you up for success. Or you could literally do the five things that I walked you through. Took me 15 minutes to show you on any topic you want to learn, my friends. Any topic you want to learn. Here's the other cool. Another part of the Amazon thing. If you liked a book, you read through it. So let's say like I liked this book again. Artificial intelligence. I liked this book a lot. Scroll down. Frequently bought together. The AI is showing us other books that people bought on the same topic. Self publishing comic books. This is all about publishing a comic book. There's no excuse, my friends. There's no excuse. Products related the structure of a story. Dragons and other mythical creatures raise anatomy. How to fail at stand up comedy. Hacking graphic novels. How to write a book, how to kill it in comedy. Write an awesome paragraph step by step. We have a tool out there that we use as well, Jasper. And I'll often use Jasper for an off label purpose where I will actually go into the template here and say what's the fastest way to learn how to write comic books? I'll ask the AI and it will literally generate me a paragraph about this that I can learn from. One of the most common questions. Every writer has their own process. It's important to read as many as you can. One of the best things I learned, study other art forms like film and literature and learn about story structure and pacing. What's the fastest way how to learn to make video games. It's complex. Join a community with a mentor. Learn how to code coding, tutorials, game design that's part of the game journey. Okay, what's the fastest way to learn how to sell more online courses? And so it's generating with AI information that's. That is good information on this. There's no one answer to this because everyone learns differently. Firstly, make sure that your courses are high quality. Second, market them effectively by creating interesting descriptions using social media, offering discounts. Don't be afraid if you feel. Ask for help if you feel stuck. Literally what I tell people all the time. Engage with your audience and build trust you'll make more sales. Okay, so now you could go this. How do I build more trust with an audience on social media? Related to my online course about thyroid care, we'll remove the tone and the AI is actually going to generate an answer to that question. And you can use this to create blog posts and to create content. One way is to be authentic and transparent. Share your personal story, be honest about your experiences. Show that you're an expert with posts and articles. Collaborate with social media, establish yourself as a credible source.

Okay.

How do I build more trust with an audience about songwriting and music publishing? This is one of my other clients. And so you're able to ask the AI these questions. Google might not have the answer for you, but a tool like Jasper does. It's based off of the GTT GPT3 project with OpenAI, which is Elon Musk's organization that he started. And the AI has scoured the whole Internet and answers questions for you faster than you could imagine. As a songwriter, it's important to build trust with your audience. Share your process, be consistent, let your audience know that you're a person, not just a songwriter. Share stories about your life and experiences in the industry. That's what my client does. That builds trust for his program that helps people.

Okay.

And so, my friends, there's literally there's no reason for you to struggle. There's no reason for you to say, I don't know how to do this stuff when there are resources that are out there, YouTube, Facebook groups, Amazon, Google, Jasper, that you can literally type in anything you want to learn and get legitimate feedback to learn more about those topics, to learn more about anything that you want to know by looking at what are the suggested videos, what are the suggested books, what are the results that go through here and pull from a variety of results as well. So some of you might say, well, I don't have the time to do that. You have the time for what you prioritize. The only reason you say you don't have the time is because it's not important enough to you. That's it. We make time for what's important for us. I want. You could do this in less than 10, 15 minutes a day. You just take 15 minutes a day to do research like I just showed you. And then the rest of the time, you think about what you researched, then come back 15 for 15 minutes later the next day. Some of you might be like, well, I can't read through a whole book because you have it stuck in your brain that you have to complete everything. You start in one sitting for it to be okay for you to do it. My friends, a bite at a time. A bite at a time. You don't have to complete everything, start to finish, for you to be able to. To learn the things that you. That you want to learn. A bite at a time. What do you want to learn? I want to learn about this topic. I want to learn about that topic. Where are you stuck? What don't you know? And, and here's the thing. Your brain might shut down answering that question because it's never been safe for you to ask that question of yourself. This is where the deep work comes in. This is where possibly working with a professional like a therapist or a counselor, or using a resource like 7 Cups Calm, which is actually a free resource. It's not therapy, but it's. It's a counselor and a listener that you can talk to for free. They also do have licensed therapists on here. This is one of my favorite resources for free, where you can find somebody to give you counsel about certain things. Trauma. Why am I so afraid to ask for help? Why am I so afraid to get the help that I need? Might be the scariest thing you've ever done, but this app helped me.

When.

I didn't have the budget to pay for therapy. And then I started. I paid for betterhelp.com and I have a therapist that I work through every week with this. The only reason you are not where you want to be in your business is because you have chosen to not do what it takes. That's it. You have chosen to not get the help. You have chosen to not learn what you don't know. You can change that choice, though, today, starting today. And I hope that this episode has unlocked something in you, to teach you, to show you what's possible. There's no excuse to not learn anything. The cop out, crappy reason that I hear from people, well, you grew up this way and you were taught that way. And people like us, we just didn't grow up with that type of. I'm sorry my friends, but my mom learned how to do stuff this way. She homeschooled me. She taught me this learning methodology. I've since taken it and expanded it more and more. She's built multiple eight figure businesses from having no knowledge on any of this stuff. Some of you might say, well, I'm just not as smart as you, Jeremiah. I'm just not as whatever. Or you say, you're way smarter than me. I'm sure a lot of you are. My friends. That belief about your ability of not being good enough, it's time to stop believing that. It's time to start believing that you can have an unlimited level of intelligence, an unlimited level of knowledge, that you can learn anything that you want to learn, and that you are not limited by your experiences if you so choose. You are not a victim to your biology, your upbringing, what side of the tracks you grew up on. Unless you explicitly choose that. Those are the excuses for why your life is never going to change. And most people do. They choose to never change because it's easier for them to live inside of the box that they they've always been in. But not you. If you're listening to this right now, I believe that you have what it takes. Now you have a choice to make. With great knowledge and power comes great responsibility. You have a responsibility now to take what I've just taught you in this episode and to do something with it. What are you going to do? We'll talk soon. Everybody have a good one.
