If you're still trying to "figure it out yourself" you need a mindset upgrade.
I used to be in the "figure it out myself" team...
I’d actually take pride in learning how to do something on my own without help, knowing if I don't give up, I’d get it eventually.
That’s a scarcity mindset.
Acting out of fear, not truly understanding the relationship between time and money.
These days when I am doing something new, I buy the map from those who have done it.
I buy the blueprint, I buy the puzzle pieces I'm missing.
So instead of something taking me 6 months or more to figure out…
It takes me 6 weeks or less. That 4 months of being, doing and having.
We live in a competitive world.
If you’re happy taking 6 months to “figure it out yourself”
You’ll be left behind.
Figure out what you need to know to get to where you want.
Figure out who has got it or has one already.
Pay them to show you how it works
