Was ist Lernen wirklich?

0:00So, I define learning by same condition, new behavior. And so, when you go to a video game and you battle through the level and you battle the boss, if you keep doing the same thing to the boss and you keep losing, then you have not learned because you have the same condition and the same behavior. And so, I often say that like for anyone who's listening to this podcast, if the goal is to get better and you're like, "Man, I really want to learn something from this podcast." If you listen to this podcast and then you're in the same exact conditions as you were before and then you do not change your behavior, you learned nothing.

0:30And so, using that definition has at least allowed me to change my behavior faster, which then goes into rate of learning, which I define as intelligence. And so, a lot of people are like, "Man, he's so smart, but he just doesn't." It's like, well then if he doesn't change his behavior and he's in the same conditions, he is a dummy. He's not that smart. And so, if you are trying to battle the same boss over and over again and you don't change what you're doing and the boss keeps beating you, then it's not the game's problem. It's your problem. You are the problem. And I think that's um like if you if you continue I I talked about obviously I'm I talk to a lot of entrepreneurs, but I usually do this when I have a a crowd and just like, "Hey, raise your hand if you work all the hours of the day." And a lot you know, most of the crowd raised their hand. I said, "Okay, who here has been stuck at the same revenue level for 6 months or more?"

1:23And then I said, "Keep the hands up." And like honestly, most of the time the same hands are raised. I say, "You're doing the wrong shit." Like if you put all your inputs and the outputs haven't changed, then you have the same condition and the same behavior and so you have learned nothing. And so, that has always just been my reframe and so over time if if you're moving up in entrepreneurship or you're moving up in career, your behavior should change because it means you've learned.

1:52Exposure to information isn't learning. Great [snorts] TLDR. >> [laughter] >> Real quick, if you are a business owner and you are not growing as fast as you like, I'd like to give you a free gift. So, my team and I put together the $100 scaling road map, which is basically 200 hours of us looking over all the portfolio companies we've had and what stages of growth they went through and more importantly where they got stuck and how they got past it. And so we broke it into these 10 stages and we made this little kind of quiz thing where if you put in your business information, it'll tell you where you're at and the most important part for you, what to do for each of functions of the business across product, marketing, sales, customer success, recruiting, IT, human resources and finance. And so, no matter what you're struggling with, someone else has already struggled with it and solved it. And so I'd like to give you this thing absolutely free. You can go to acquisition.com/roadmap, plug in your business information and if you want us to actually help you deconstraint the business and you're trying to scale, we'd love to help you out. On the thank you page you can just book a call with my team and we will look at the business, see if we can help and if we can, we'll invite you out to Vegas and we'll do this in person live.
