About this episode

Stop Learning Start Doing

Have you ever felt as if something was holding you back?  

You might be spending too much time learning.

The challenge begins when your mind gets confused. Since it can’t tell the difference between perception and reality, learning feels like doing. You might be getting more intelligent, but you are not moving forward.

Here are some simple truths:

1) Learning new skills is fun and is required for a better life.

2) Learning alone will not produce results.

3) You don’t have to learn everything—you already have enough to start.

When 90% of your time is used for moving forward actions, you will make massive progress. It’s time to get moving.
