Lori Harder argues that hands-on immersion beats shortcuts. Aspiring speakers should attend 10-20 events to learn from others; aspiring authors need deep subject knowledge before writing. Being inside an industry reveals opportunities you can't see from outside.
Some people will tell me they want to do an event, and I'm like, well, you need to go to 10 or 20 events. Yeah, you want to be a speaker, you need to go see speakers. You want to write a book, you need to go like immerse yourself into that. And I know there are so many people who want to skip that part.
You've got to get into that world in order to truly understand it and really see like, how could I improve something? How could I make money in this industry? How could I truly make the purpose that I feel drawn to from your inner knowing, trust that, but how could I make this my path forward?
