How to learn anything 10x faster (to boost your career, business, or life enjoyment):
With this thread, I am assuming that you already have something you want to learn.

- A business model
- A concept or theory
- An opportunity-generating skill

If you "don't know what to learn" then the literal only option is to try new things.

Awareness begets awareness.
1) Choose A Project To Emulate

Important: don't start learning first.

The reason you want to learn a skill is to build something in the real world, right?

So, don't waste your time with information fluff.

Emulate a project that an aspirational person has already built.
If you want to learn design, choose your favorite design.

If you want to learn copywriting, choose your favorite sales page.

If you want to learn to freelance, choose a freelancer that (actually) makes money.

This is a positive comparison anchor.
2) Start Building Your Own

Notice the word "start."

Start building your own version with what you already know.

Don't get trapped in tutorial hell.

You are supposed to struggle.

That is when your brain is ready to absorb a lesson.
3) Seek Specific Knowledge

The biggest problem in our society is asking vague questions for the sake of procrastination.

Stop asking questions before you've done something.

Any answer you get to a vague question will just confuse you further.
Instead:

- Build until you hit a problem
- Research that problem specifically
- Watch tutorials and ask questions

Fix the problem and repeat until your project is *of the same quality* as the one you are emulating.

Don't skip the details, that's what separates good from great.
4) Teach What You Know

Now that you've *experienced* solving a problem for *your own* project, you're allowed to teach what you learned (without worrying about imposter syndrome).

Why is teaching important?

It reveals what you don't know.
Now you can:

- Seek more specific knowledge
- Build out quality projects faster
- Teach better and attract an audience + potential buyers

My favorite way to teach is by posting content.

The internet is the new public resume board and only a few creators take advantage of that.
You're on Twitter because you want quick and punchy information.

If you want to go *much* deeper into rapid learning, here's The Koe Letter edition where I wrote about it:
