How can you learn anything faster? So I would like to give you here eight advice on how you can learn a new language, how you can learn a new skill, basically anything? How do the top achiever learn something faster? The first one is that they will ask experts, you don't want to ask your friends who have no idea on how to do it. Let's say that you want to get a raise in your job. Instead of asking your friends who had never gotten a raise, and you ask them, Hey, how could I have a raise?
They just say work harder. They will give you some advice, but they coming up with you are trying to invent advice. Instead, what you want to do is ask experts, did you know that there were experts who could teach you how to get a raise? There are online trainings that are created by experts that teach you exactly how to get a raise does the best negotiators in the world and they teach you how to get the race So instead of asking your friends or people who don't really know, you say, I want to find the best expert, and I want to ask them, How can I get the rate and then they will give you negotiation strategies. They will give you streets, they will give you communication techniques. And it will be better for you, you will learn faster how to get a raise?
If you ask the experts, then you say, Yeah, I don't, but it will be expensive. Most of the time, it's not, some experts will help you for free. I have like high end experts who helped me for free, because they just asked. So, it's sometimes it's better to ask the experts and even pay a little bit of money, and D and get the real advice. Rather than trying to come up with the answers or asking the friends who have no idea on how to do it, because you will then waste time, you will waste energy. And then you could also waste money on solutions on things that don't really work.
So to always try to look for the experts goes to the top start at the top. You want to learn English Go to the best English school, it can be online, it can be offline, or go go and find the best teacher. If you want to go online, find the best English teacher. Maybe it will be a little bit more expensive yet, but he will save time. And let me tell you, if you say yeah, but I don't want to pay. If you lose $1,000 you can gain this $1,000 back.
If you lose 10 hours of today, you cannot get this 10 hours back. So let's say that time is more important than money because time is not something that you can get back. That's why I encourage you to find the experts in your industry and ask them the question. How did you do it? And the question here is how did you do it? Let's explain.
I would like you to think in terms of the Pareto rule. Pareto rule says that 20% of the actions that you take what gives you 80% of the results the question that you should ask yourself Question is, what are the three? Or the five things that I could do to achieve that? And you want to ask the expert who knows the answer who has already gotten the result? For example, I would ask the expert about how to get a raise, what are the three things that I must do together? And he will give me the 20% that will give me 80% of the results, it means that he will give me what really works.
And then I only have to execute on these three items that he gave me. Instead of executing on everything that my friends told me and have no idea about, if it will give me the results. You can see here that grown faster, you must ask the experts and ask them, What are the things that were really life changing for you? What What were the things that really worked for you? What are the three to five things? I always asked three to five things because it's something that is easy to implement.
You will get the 20% that gives you 80% of the results. So I really encourage you to think right now, in what you want to learn. Who are the experts? How can you reach them? Is there like an online training? Can you contact them?
Can you email them? You will be surprised if you email them like how like, the chances that they will respond is really high. So try it you have nothing to lose. And then you ask them the question, How can I learn English? faster? What are the three things that is really important to learn English in the fastest way of time?
And in the fastest time and the person will say, okay, you have to do that, that that and then you know how to execute. Okay. And I remember, it was an expert that I met on the plane, and I asked him, What is the best way to learn a language? What is the one two or three important things that you must do? He said, First, you look for the 200 most used words in English. you translate them in Russia.
Because like if you want to learn Russian to Trump, you translate them. And then you go to Russia. And he told me that he did that. He learns the 200 words. And after one week or two weeks, he came back with 1000 or 2000. Words, like, Wow, that's really smart, a smart way of doing that.
That's a really smart way. I don't know if it's the best way because that was not the best expert, which was an expert that I met and had, who gave me an answer on how I could learn faster. But maybe if you ask another expert on how you can learn language, he will give you all the blocks. That's why it's really important to go to start at the top and ask the best Experts add excitement. You should ask yourself this question. Why are you excited to learn that?
Because if you say yeah, I want to learn this new language. I want to learn this new skill. Yeah, whatever. How likely do you think you will commit to it? If instead you ask yourself this question, why am I excited about learning that and you add the excitement Write down the list of the things that you are excited about the things that you want to learn. And every morning, you read them and you feel the emotions in your body, give yourself permission to feel that emotion, you will be really excited you want to learn it.
And by adding excite excitement, you can learn faster. And then you say, yeah, less like, rah, rah, I don't want to do it, you know, it's like, I don't need it. Really, I'm sharing with you the stuff that really makes a difference. High achievers are able to generate excitement into the excitement to something they want to learn so that they can learn faster. Number four, I would like you to take notes through and summarize. So it's something that I've noticed in everyone who can learn something really fast.
And I would like to just talk about my personal example. So I got my business, my master degree in business and the secret of always doing that like taking notes. I was drawing. And I was summarizing, I was able to get a good grades and like good grades in the shortest amount of time. Like working I like I didn't work a lot, I was not I was really not a great student, but I was able to get amazing grades by just working a little bit. And how I did that is that I summarized and I was always drawing it means that if the person says okay, this is important, bla bla bla bla, this is important, blah, blah, blah, this is important.
I was always just writing Okay, this is important, this is important, this is important. And if I start drawing, okay, one circle here, this is here, this is here. I was trying, trying to make it visual for myself so that I could, I could understand that I could learn faster. So everything that you learn, it can be a new skill, you can get a new language, a new skill that you need for your company. Always try to take notes and To summarize, summarize what is important If you can control, it means that you have the words, but then you also have the pictures. Because if you have the pictures, there are high chances that you will remember the pictures.
Because for example, if I have a word that is TV, let's say that I show you a piece of paper and it's written TV, and then I show you a picture of a TV, would you would you remember the word TV or the picture of the TV? Most likely you will remember the picture of the TV. That's why it's important to draw and you'd have to be an artist, you just have to draw one C, two c, two c, three C to C, okay, this is number one, number two. Number three, try to draw the things that you have and try to summarize it is really, really, really, really important. What is important here this whole book, what is important, okay, you have to summarize. Number five, you can teach it, you can teach it to dogs.
You continue to yourself, you can teach it, even if there is no one, how I integrate the theory, the concepts and everything that I learn from the world's best experts is that I interview them. And then I teach either to myself to my chair, to my dog, to my girlfriend, or to a friend. That way I can integrate the theory the concepts in myself, and then I can learn faster. So I really encourage you to take note to do is summarize and then you teach it to someone else. teach it to a friend to a colleague to someone say hey, I just can I just call you five minutes I just wanted to share with you what I've learned in this book. And then you have summarized you have notes and you drew something and then you can teach them and you will see that you will learn faster because it will enter your brain 100% 100% focus.
When you are learning this new skill, I would like you to focus 100% of the time Because you attention is limited. It means that if you have 80% of your attention on what you want to learn, and 20% of on your phone or your WhatsApp messages, what will end up happening is that you won't have your whole focus. If you focus 100%, you will learn faster, because all your attention is on the task. So it's really important. Number seven, I would like you to repeat what is important. So, after you have taken notes, you have summarized, I would like you to repeat over and over again, the more you repeat, the more your brain will remember it.
And I would like you to repeat what is important. Let's say that you have a book about how to cook a chocolate cake. And it's a really big book, and it just tells you five steps. Instead of remembering all the book, what I want you to do is to write down the what the five steps are, and repeat them repeat. Step number one is that step number two is that step number three, step number four, step number five, okay? This is what they should Do we step number one, step number two, you repeat over and over again, you can also teach it to someone else.
And you will see that you will be able to learn faster. So repeat what is important, many times so that it can really stick in your brain. Number eight. It's a technique that I use so that I can really consume information faster. I always play audio faster, and video faster. For example, if I want to learn a new skill, I want to listen to the normal speed.
I will accelerate the speed and accelerate the video. For example, if I listen to an audiobook, what that will do is that will set the speed to two or 1.5 or 1.6. It means that the less amount of time that we get more information and can still understand information, but it takes less time. So it's something that habit that I really encourage you to do when you watch videos, or when you listen to something to play it's in to play it in a high speed. Okay, and the tasks be something that you can succeed, understand. So how can you learn faster?
You ask experts, you ask them, what are the three things that really made the difference? Or what are the three things that you can do to get the result that you want? And if they will give you the things that you must really do that will give you the result that you want. Add excitement, why am I excited about that? You take notes, you draw it summarize, you teach it to someone, even if you don't have someone who can teach it to yourself, or to a chair. Yeah, it's a little bit weird, but who cares, you're learning faster.
Okay. You focus 100% of your attention and your attention on the task. You repeat what is important, and you can pay the audio and the video faster.
