Join communities of people ahead of you to learn, and communities where you came from to teach. The speaker calls this "learn up, serve down," a way to keep growing while helping others do the same.
Learn up and serve down. I think there's two kinds of communities you can be part of. There are communities that are where you want to be. They contain the kinds of people that you want to become. And then there are those that are who you are or who you recently have been. And if you're on the kind of journey, this kind of person who's listening to this kind of video, then you are on a journey of growth, right? Which means you're not the person who you were yesterday. You're making that kind of forward progress slowly, quickly, whatever the speed is. But I look at each of these two communities as having different jobs because the ones that there's nobody who's like with you on that journey, unless you're doing something more specific, like a mastermind, you're going to find these communities tend to be people who are at different stages. And they're going to be— you want to join the ones that are where you want to go because that will help elevate you forward because you'll, by being around those people, you become more like those people. But then you can join the ones that are where you are, where you were, but you view it as an act of service. How do you help those people come up? Because that's not who you are anymore.
