Keep Learning as a Professional

Why do people just suck at learning new things?

They are not willing to fail. For a very, very, very long time.

I have been on a bit of a binge recently, just consuming creator and entrepreneur mindset content (thanks to Lex Fridman, Colin and Samir, Nilay Patel, Chris Do), and the one thing everyone clearly understands is this:

You need to be humbled.

You are going to fail at things when you start, and you need to get comfortable with it. That is really what learning how to learn comes down to.

Years ago, I had no software background. Now I manage teams working on projects worth way more than I would have ever imagined.

Years later, I still fail:

  • I fail at writing
  • I fail at getting my ideas out there
  • I fail at being my own boss
  • And I fail at being the best Product Manager out there

But as Giannis puts it, failures are just steps toward success.

Keep on failing.

With or without my help I wish you the best.
