It was such a huge mind-shift, but it makes so much sense if you think about it. We are all human, and we are all learning. Everyone is making mistakes ON A DAILY BASIS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only difference between the successful entrepreneur and the dreamer who never gets started is that the former doesn\u2019t wait. They don\u2019t ask themselves \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will I ever be good enough<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u201d They just start. The only way to learn how to do something is to just do it. As a result, many entrepreneurs are just winging it. Eventually, they become an expert at something, but by then they are already winging something else.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, I know that gaining as much experience in something you want to learn is the fastest way to go from zero to hero. If you sit around reading books, just focusing on the theory, then the truth is you will probably psych yourself out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nobody is cut from a different cloth. The biggest expert in any field started out as a novice at some point. When I got my first real estate coaching clients, I wasn\u2019t \u201can expert\u201d, but I didn\u2019t need to be. The early validation gave me the <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/2933971\/how-to-motivate-yourself-3-steps-backed-by-science\/\">motivation to keep going<\/a>, as it told me I was on the right track.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>PRO TIP: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research has shown that the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/ideas.time.com\/2011\/11\/30\/the-protege-effect\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best way to learn<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> something quickly, is to teach it to someone. It sounds scary, but I am living proof that this works. The motivation to present your knowledge well will supercharge your progress.
