The Fastest Way To Acquire High-Value Skills (And Finally Change Your Life)

[@URone2]

Pursuing my bachelor's in Computer Science right now. Had not been in school for ten years. After living more, and making a ton of mistakes. Staying in a growth mindset, and choosing to try every day. I am feeling this in every sort of way right now, and I appreciate the strong messages that work on us in a constructive way. Appreciate you Dan!

I recently discovered your channel here and I have so much gratitude for the information you share...thank you Dan. I shutttered my retail shop after Christmas and mentally spiralled for longer than I imagined. Everything is uncomfortable as I search for a greater reality. I accept, and am motivated by the idea that with discipline, self-education and action, I will overcome the problems presenting and re-create my life better than ever. Thank you.

The concept of 'Learn As You Build' is a game-changer for skill acquisition. To add to that, entrepreneurs should leverage the 'feedback loop' process-implement what you learn immediately, measure the results, and iterate quickly. This approach not only solidifies your new skills but also accelerates your progress by learning from real-world applications.

this is perfect on so many levels. we only appreciate the quiet in the noise, the stillness in the rush. everything you said is hitting the nail right on the head. things will slow, only if you allow them. and it's what you make out of a stressful situation that determines the outcome. your content inspires me to create and think, critically, each and every day.

00:00 🤯 Feeling overwhelmed signifies learning, growth, and stepping out of comfort zones. 01:18 🧠 Overcoming overwhelm requires training the mind through exposure and repetition, akin to building physical muscle. 03:37 🧘‍♂ Embracing discomfort and allowing the mind to adjust is crucial for learning and growth. 07:24 🌍 Zooming out to adopt broader perspectives helps manage overwhelm and gain clarity. 11:49 🚀 Learning any skill faster involves project-based learning, focusing on fundamentals, and problem-solving. 13:27 🎯 Creating a clear project outline provides direction and purpose for learning. 16:26 🏗 Learning as you build empowers practical application and problem-solving. 17:56 📚 Teaching what you learn enhances understanding and accelerates learning.

Well done. Thank you for this.

[@Ramenko1]

2:33 When I first started playing piano, it was so difficult to use my right hand (for the bass notes) and sync it with my left hand (melody). As a guitar player, I was not used to using my right hand's fingers in such a way. The "AHA" moment came after 5-6 hours of practice. I had dedicated 1 hour a day for practice. Therefore, by day 6 I was a changed man.

[@dro3886]

Damn I'm literally in that boat rn, trying to learn syncing right and left hand. How did you get through it? Just focused practice?

[@Ramenko1]

@@dro3886 just keep doing it. And never stop before the one hour mark. Just keep going. It will eventually click. A song that helped me with that "AHA" was Lake Hylia - Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess on Piano.

Hey, I've been wrestling with web development for a while, feeling like I'm stuck in tutorial hell. It's been overwhelming, and I've been tempted to go back to my old BPO job. But then, I stumbled upon your video, and it really resonated with me. It's my first time watching your content, and I'm already subscribed! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@Gabe_HappyFeet_Tucker]

Blows my mind, the day I realize the meaning I want to have in this universe, happens to be the same day I run into this gem of a video. And it being exactly the same mission I have and the goals I wish to accomplish. To show everyone how empowered a person can become. I've been at this my whole life. And everything is coming together lately because I have chosen to go back and re-educate myself in things involving my skills progression in hopes to find more than I would ever realize, had I not. I too wish to write a book in hopes my expression will make a big impact. I'm grateful for you and catching this video ty much and the best of luck to u! The very things that have gotten me here further are the things I never cared for in life but for reason's I guess never could see past, or there being hidden importance resulting in building blocks to the next chapters of my life and works skill's. It's crazy to know I've already bumped into another person who has this idea and with accomplishment. That's what's up

[@Keichoula]

Zoom out your perspective to see problems/worries as small and insignificant. Adopt a higher, more inclusive perspective. Consider your current perspective, ideal self perspective, and universe perspective to properly focus and align your actions. Connect ideas by zooming out layers to see relationships between topics at different levels of abstraction. Note important signals from your mind and build better projects from a new level of understanding. Emulate successful projects or tutorials to start building experience through trial and error. Set milestones like goals for the week, month, year to keep progressing towards your vision. Establish real-world deadlines that force you to act or risk consequences to your goals. Focus on fundamentals when starting new builds, not fancy tactics, and learn through active application of concepts. Continually experiment and turn failures into lessons to improve over time through practical experience.

Under Pressure - Queen is my favorite song of all time. It resonated with the world because we, at the end of the day, are all under pressure. As the last lyric goes, "This is ourselves...under pressure." In life, we are constantly discovering, unlayering, and unraveling who we are as people. We truly discover who we are when we are UNDER PRESSURE.

We are not growing if we are comfortable,,,when you believe in developing yourself, you know there will be resistance from the lower parts of you that don't like change,, are lazy, or refuse to grow,,,as a higher being, you know it comes with it,,, so you feel the fear but do it anyway,, Obstacles are the way to grow

[@DSLDataScienceLearn]

I've actually felt and understood the saying "Hardest part is starting" or however it goes , I'm currently learning data science, doing projects and so on.., I fond it very hard to actually start with it, plenty of procrastination and stress and things mentioned in this video. But like 3 weeks ago, I just realized while actually doing it, hardest thing was to start, after starting, I got engaged, I don't know what it is just pushing through those 10-20 minutes of cognitive discomfort and desire for previous comfort state will go away, replaced with curiosity and desire to learn and build. But I'm so weak when it comes to that start it insane, I'ts one of my top things to fix about myself, slowly improving just... Point of my comment should be that I finally had the feeling and complete understanding that hardest thing was to start, not just hearing it countless times and it going out through my other ear. Also I used this feeling of grasping it, as fuel to start, making the barrier that much less impossible. So to anyone reading, know that the most willpower is required to start, once you push trough 15 minutes of that discomfort and doing the thing, it gets magically better.

[@DanKoeTalks]

There may be a lot of context to that question. And there's a lot more to this answer... but you have to be working on something uncomfortable that you benefit from long term. If you "zoom out" 10 years ahead and your future is bleak because what you are working on is uncomfortable and doesn't benefit you, then you "balance" that feeling by working on something else so you can get out of the other work.
