Gain 20+ Years of Wisdom Instantly

Feedback is results that can be seen, measured, and acted upon. This can come from 2 different places:

  1. Your own personal experiences.
  2. Other people’s advice and mentorship.

Life is too short to make all the mistakes on your own. If you want to achieve big goals that are beyond your current level of achievement, you are going to need the guidance of other people. This will allow you to apply your efforts to the activities that you know will work, making you appear much wiser.

This may seem crystal clear to most people, but do YOU actually do it? If you have so far, then you’re a step ahead of me. If you don’t keep doing it, you won’t be ahead for long.

Not that it’s a race, but I’ve learned that the biggest thing that I can do this year to gain the most success in the least amount of time is this: Seek out advice from people who have already done what I want to do.

Seek out several sources. You can keep it to simple tweets to the people in question, a ¼ page email, or an in-person interview over coffee and lunch. It doesn’t have to be hard.

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket either. If one person doesn’t respond, have several other people ready to respond to you.

For example, several places I would like some help are:

  • scheduling radio interviews
  • learning how to network better
  • learning how to sell to booksellers
  • learning how to get started in public speaking with no previous background

These are just a few. In any of these cases I will look for people who have succeeded in these areas in the last 3-5 years, as well as people who have been doing these activities for decades.

If you want to take action on a simple thinking exercise, make it this one: What are you wanting to learn how to do? What are you struggling with? What obstacle are you afraid of facing? Finally, who can you talk to for answers (people you know personally or who you know of online)? Strangers? Is anyone in your network already who may know the types of people you’re looking for?
