Learning At The Speed Of Light: Elon Musk
Posted: Sat Oct 28, 2023 10:39 pm
Elon Musk is a favorite entrepreneur for many people and for me one of the billionaires I like to study. One of his "hacks" that caught my attention was his response to how he learned rocket science to build SpaceX when he wasn't academically trained for this.
His response?
"I read books. Yeah, lots and lots of books."
I tend to think that books have potentially a higher density of useful information than you can get from other formats, but I'm not saying they are without question the best tool if you are looking to learn your next skill in business!
What appeals to me more than anything is the idea that a bum like me can sit in my house and drink a shot of whiskey listening to lovely Gary Moore blues, and read a life changing "lots and lots of books."
It's cheap too.
You don't need to sign up for an expensive mastermind, and you don't need to travel anywhere for some big seminar.
You and a lot of books.
That's Elon Musk style learning at the speed of light!!
