Episode Synopsis


Here's a behind-the-scenes look into how I am learning - feeding myself - at the moment. What books am I reading? What podcast do I listen to? Also HOW do I do this when I am busy with family and business and other demands of life? How do you make time to learn?
Why I Prioritize Learning
Firstly I believe that if I want to continue to grow in excellent business and leadership, I must continually feed and challenge myself. It's no longer "I don't have time for this..." it is "I can't afford NOT to do this!" It has become a priority. But there are some life hacks to do this without stopping other things in my life. I call it double-time and here's some of the ways I do it:
How I Create (or steal) Time to Learn
It's amazing how taking a few minutes here and there through your day (and night) adds up over time to be SIGNIFICANT.
Listen while at the gym or doing exercise (30-45min most days)
Listen while driving to do chores or pickup kids (15min to supermarket, 60min school pickup)
Listen If I wake up in the night (set the timer to 30mins and 'stop playing' afterward so you can fall back to sleep and the book doesn't continue playing)
Listen as I go to sleep or if I wake up early and my wife is still asleep (I have airpods and my phone beside the bed so I can quietly reach over and grab it without waking her up)
Read a few minutes before going to sleep (actually proven to help you sleep better!)

Programs I Use to Learn on the go
Audible membership (One book per month = $14.95 per month) - they have a promo right now where you can get four months for $4.95 per month.
