The Mindset Shift: Building Personal Learning Agility
It’s not just WHAT you learn, but HOW you learn, that matters most for entrepreneurs.
Many of us learned in a rigid “school” environment, which kills the joy of discovery needed for entrepreneurship.
- Curiosity is KING: Ask ‘why?’ more often than ‘what?’. Deeper understanding is powerful.
- Learn by doing: Ditch long courses, apply new knowledge immediately to see what sticks.
- Get meta: Learn about HOW you learn best (videos, audio, hands-on, etc.)
- Embrace feedback: Seek it out, even the critical stuff, it highlights growth areas.
- Document your journey: Not a diary, but track what works, fails, surprises you – patterns emerge.
- Fun fuels learning: If it feels like a chore, you’re doing it wrong. Find playful ways to absorb info.
What’s the most unconventional way you’ve learned something important?
Set aside an ‘exploration hour’ each week. No goals, just follow your curiosity down a rabbit hole.
