Jack of all trades, master of none… but better than a master of one. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) talks about why he prefers not to fall into the trap of reading 1 book every week, how he approaches education generally, and why it’s also better to learn as you’re doing the thing rather than read about it.
Welcome to The Game Podcast where we talk about how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, and keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons we have learned along the way to $100M in sales. We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.
Timestamps:
(1:13) - Alex shares with us why he doesn’t read books every week and instead reads during “targeted seasons”. When we're thinking about education in general, the one thing that you will need is discernment to determine what thing you need to learn next
(3:04) - 99% of the things Alex has learned were from doing it. Books, seminars, Masterminds, etc. will give you the context of where you’re deficient, but not solve the deficiency itself
(5:01) - As Alex was figuring out all the skills he wanted to learn, he realized one thing: most people try and think that they have to figure out the first thousand steps before they take the first one. When in reality, you have to be the one to take the 1st step 
(7:20) - As part of his learning process, he even worked for others for free in order to learn from them on a day-to-day basis, and actually apply what he’s learning in real life
(8:30) - During seasons in his life, if Alex wants more context on an industry that’s when he’ll read or learn about it and expose himself to people who can broaden his thinking and think in bigger increments
