Build Yourself Up!

We spoke about this topic a lot in the past few episodes of the Crypto Maniacs podcast....

Building things yourself!

The context was to not 'wait' on someone to create and build what you want to see on chain, but literally...Do it yourself!

Need a better app? Build it!

Want to decentralize more? Set up a node!

We need to be the change we want to see in the world...Or even right here on chain!

Today though, I wanted to talk about 'building' something else.

And that is you!

What do I mean by that?

So if you know me by now, you'll know I'm a big fan of personal development, success thinking and growth. It's a mindset that helps us grow on our journey through life, especially as entrepreneurs.

One of my favorite authors of all time, Brian Tracy, has famously said in his many of his lectures that we can become an epxert at any niche we choose in less than a year.

That's a bold statement, doesn't it take years to learn it all?

Pretty sure we never stop learning all throughout life, but this is how he suggested that we approach life long learning. And you'll have to excuse the paraphrasing here...

He stated:

"If you want to become an expert in any niche or topic, study it when you have 'down time'. Are you commuting to work? Listen to a podcast or lecture on a certain topic every day during your drive....

"...As you do, you start accumulating knowledge that could potentially be the equivalent to a college education in a year!"

My big take away to this is pretty clear....

Every chance you get, learn!

Soak up everything you can about the topic you love. You see, this is pretty much the greatest investment you can ever make when it comes to your personal growth.

In fact, I think it's the best investment one can ever make in their lifetime....Spending the energy, time and even money is building yourself up.

And it works for like I mentioned....Any niche or passion.

Crypto, entrepreneurship, writing, fitness, tech.....Literally....Anything!

When you spend the time, investing the time excuse me, in yourself....The ROI on that is unmeasurable. I just don't think you can put a price or value on it, because while opportunities come and go, your personal growth habits will last a lifetime.

I used to call it, the University of Self Education! And it had a pretty nice sized library too....

I still think my personal library is one of my greatest assets ever...Every dime I spent into building myself up, will end up paying huge dividends down the road.

So as the new year begins we have to ask ourselves....

What are we doing, to build ourselves up?
