There is only so much that you can learn during your lifetime through your own direct experience. And if you want to become deeply happy and achieve something truly remarkable in your life, then you really need to learn from other people who have already traveled the same road before you. There's absolutely no point in trying to reinvent the wheel. Simply seek out people who have already done what you're trying to do and learn from them and copy their success. There's no need to reinvent the wheel. When you seek out and learn from truly great mentors, then you can go a lot further and much more quickly than if you did everything through trial and error.

When you learn from others who have been very successful, then you will avoid so much unnecessary hardship and pain. I had to learn this the hard way. I learned this the hard way myself, I had to lose everything. Before I really understood the importance of taking on mentors for my life. Now, my first business was a great success. But I didn't read many books about business.

And I didn't have any mentors. In fact, I thought books about business were boring. So I have this mental block. And it stopped me from growing and learning as much as I could have. And I often wonder how much bigger I could have grown that business, and how much more money I could have made when I sold it to a multinational. Had I learned from mentors from the very start, and I didn't, but later, after selling that business, as I say, I lost everything through trusting the wrong people and by making bad investments, and I urgently needed to learn new skills, and I started learning from the world's best writers as much as I could, and it made a massive difference.

It made a vast difference in my life. I have several mentors for different areas of my life. And the effect is that I can make more progress in a couple of months than I would have previously done in an entire year. So please do seek out and learn from great teachers. And these days due to the internet, it's very easy to find outstanding mentors, and learn new skills really, really quickly. You might also like to consider joining a mastermind group and a mastermind group is a group of people who are all working in the same area of business or trying to achieve similar things.

And you can either create your own mastermind of like minded people or join an existing mastermind group. And the idea is that you all help support and encourage each other in your goals. So it's like a support network, with lots of wisdom thrown in. It's also an idea Way of brainstorming any new ideas that you may have and get feedback from other members of the group. It also keeps you accountable and moving forwards towards your goals instead of giving up on them very easily. And by being part of a mastermind, you will also benefit enormously from the experience of everyone in the group.

And you can also learn new skills far more quickly, when others are there to share with you what they have discovered for themselves. Now, ideally, you want at least one person in the mastermind to have more experienced than yourself. And I found my own mastermind group to be really motivating, very inspiring, empowering, and it allows us all to keep moving forwards. Now there are only three of us in our mastermind group and we get together on a Skype video call every Friday morning for an hour and a half or so and we are spread across three different times. zones with up to a nine hour time difference yet it works really, really well for all of us. Also, group coaching is another excellent way of progressing your goals, your success and your happiness by learning valuable new skills very quickly.

A group coaching can take the form of weekly, bi weekly, or even monthly group coaching calls, where a mentor is giving you training and also answering your questions. And this can take the form of webinars, conference calls, or actually meeting together in person at a seminar. Now, whichever ways you use to increase your knowledge, your understanding and your experience, please commit to yourself to lifelong learning from this point forward. Because people who constantly learn new skills can do all sorts of new things and achieve incredible success and happiness for themselves. Whereas people who learn nothing new generally stay at their current state and nothing much changes for them. Now, most of my mentors, read at least one new book each week and this is something I do myself too.

So please do commit to yourself right now to constantly learn new skills and also put into practice what you learn
