How to Invest In Yourself https://youtu.be/C1QYF5WYzCo Long-term investing is more valuable than short-term investing: Long-term investing refers to the practice of committing money or resources over a longer period of time, with the expectation of achieving a greater return on investment in the future. This can be contrasted with short-term investing, which is focused on quick profits and tends to be riskier and less stable. In general, long-term investing is considered to be a more reliable and stable way to build wealth and achieve financial security. Investing in yourself and building skills is important for success in your career and life: Investing in yourself means investing time, energy, and resources into your own development, with the goal of becoming more skilled, knowledgeable, and capable. This can include things like education, training, and personal development activities. Building skills is essential for success in many areas of life, including career, as it allows you to become more valuable to others and to command higher salaries or fees for your services. To provide value and be successful in a career or business, it is important to build skills: In order to be successful in a career or business, it is important to be able to provide value to others. This usually involves having a particular skill set or area of expertise that is valuable to others. By investing in yourself and building your skills, you can increase your value and become more attractive to potential employers or clients. Building skills often requires discipline and understanding the process of mastery: Developing expertise in any field requires a significant amount of time, effort, and practice. This often involves adopting a disciplined approach to learning and development and understanding the process of mastery, which involves progressing through various stages of skill acquisition. Investing in relationships and personal development is also important for long-term success: In addition to investing in career development, it is also important to invest in other areas of life, such as personal relationships and personal development. Building strong relationships with others and working on personal growth can lead to increased happiness and well-being, which can contribute to long-term success in many areas of life.

Mastery Part 1 https://youtu.be/_874QVgwvEk The speaker is using a camera to practice public speaking and self-development topics. This means that they are recording themselves speaking on various topics related to personal growth and improvement, in order to become more comfortable and proficient in front of the camera. Culture often promotes quick results and gratification instead of long-term mastery. This means that society tends to value immediate gratification and fast, easy solutions over the long-term dedication and hard work required to truly master a skill. This is often seen in advertising and media, which may focus on fast, low-effort ways to achieve a desired outcome. The book "Mastery" by George Leonard discusses the process of mastery and an exponential growth curve. In this book, Leonard argues that there is a universal process of mastering any skill or activity and that this process involves an exponential growth curve. This curve starts out shallow and then rises steeply, but the key to achieving mastery is to stick with the process and continue practicing over a long period of time, even when progress may seem slow or stalled. Tennis is used as an example of how progress is not always linear and can involve plateaus and setbacks. The speaker notes that when learning a new sport or hobby, one might expect a linear progression of skills, with improvement happening steadily over time. However, this is not always the case, and in reality progress may be more uneven, with plateaus or setbacks along the way. To achieve mastery, one must be committed to long-term practice and be open to criticism and feedback. The speaker notes that achieving mastery requires a long-term commitment to practice and a willingness to embrace criticism and feedback in order to improve. This means that one must be willing to put in the time and effort required to truly master a skill, and be open to learning from others and adjusting one's approach as needed. Mastery can be applied to any skill or activity, not just traditional career paths or hobbies. The speaker notes that the concept of mastery is not limited to traditional career paths or hobbies, but can be applied to any skill or activity that one wishes to master. This could include anything from a musical instrument to a specific business or technical skill, and the process of achieving mastery is the same regardless of the specific area of focus.
