SPI 865: Why I Really Wrote Lean Learnin...

Pat Flynn
About this episode

#865 Do you have a stream of ideas you've never put into practice? Are you stuck consuming information and accumulating knowledge without ever taking action? That's where most of us are these days. Learning has become a substitute for doing. Because it feels productive, we mistake gathering hacks and strategies for actual creation and work. That's why I wrote my upcoming book, Lean Learning. With my kids heading toward adulthood, I don't want them or anyone else falling into this trap. I want you to invest in just enough quality instruction, take action, reflect, and repeat. I want us all to escape the kind of growth that lives in our heads but dies in our hands! Your way out is the just-in-time information that finds you right when you need it. This is your key to progress and success without distractions! Please help me spread this message by pre-ordering Lean Learning, and listen in on this episode to achieve more by learning less!
