Listen "Negotiating with yourself to get things done"
Episode Synopsis
This episode focuses on the concept of turning excuses, which are often seen negatively, into a structured learning environment to achieve success in fields where there are no formal guidelines or textbooks. Louis addresses common questions about his expertise in component-level motherboard repairs, emphasizing that there are no secret courses, books, or certifications that taught him these skills. Instead, he learned through a process of identifying and eliminating excuses, thereby creating a self-directed curriculum.Rossmann illustrates this by recounting his experiences in learning complex skills without formal education. He uses the analogy of learning math in school, where a structured process helps students progress from simple to complex problems. In contrast, real-world problems, like repairing a motherboard with unique issues, lack such structured environments. Thus, one must create their own by systematically addressing and removing excuses. For example, he overcame the challenge of not having the right tools by purchasing necessary equipment, thereby removing barriers to learning and improving his skills.(I am not affiliated with Louis Rossmann)Original Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-iuyyL0Tos
