Knowing What To Do About What You Don&#8217;t Know<\/h3>\n<p>I was talking with my coach last week, I wrote her and said, &#8220;I tend to feel that I could do things a lot better.\u00a0At this point I&#8217;m looking at my need to delegate, but&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I then explained my problems and what my difficulty was with the topic. I felt like I was really getting it.<\/p>\n<p>Then she said, &#8220;Wait a minute. That&#8217;s okay. There are <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Four_stages_of_competence\" target=\"_blank\">different stages of learning also known as consciousness and competence<\/a>, and your awareness of your learning.<\/p>\n[shareable cite=&#8221;Eric Hoffer&#8221; text=&#8221;In times of change learners inherit the earth. &#8211; Eric Hoffer #quote&#8221;]In times of change learners inherit the earth; while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.[\/shareable]\n<p>Here they are. There are four stages that we go through.<\/p>\n<h4>4 Stages of Competence<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Unconscious Incompetence<\/strong> &#8211; Initially we are unconscious of the learning needed, we are unaware and we have zero competence, so we are unconsciously incompetent. Now, think about it as a ladder and you go up to the next step.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Conscious Incompetence<\/strong> &#8211; Suddenly you are conscious about it. You are aware that you need to change something. You need to learn something, but you are incompetent. You just don&#8217;t know what to do or how to do it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Conscious Competency<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Now on the third level you get to what is known as conscious competency. You are aware of what you&#8217;re learning and your getting good at it. You&#8217;re learning more and you are doing well. You&#8217;ve learned pretty much everything that you need to learn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unconscious Competency<\/strong> &#8211; Then the last level of learning is unconscious competency. That&#8217;s like driving. You do something that you&#8217;ve done so many times, you don&#8217;t have to actually consciously think about it. You&#8217;re really good at it and you can keep doing it. That skill can last a while, but sometimes it can tend to decay, if we don&#8217;t come back and keep refining it and learning more about it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: right;\">(Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gordontraining.com\/free-workplace-articles\/learning-a-new-skill-is-easier-said-than-done\/\" target=\"_blank\">Gordon Training<\/a>)<\/h6>\n<p>Remember this, if you are ever discouraged at any level of learning, or when you feel that you have so much further to go, or that you just don&#8217;t have what you need, the skills that you need. It is possible. You are going to get there.<\/p>\n<p>Just remember you are at one of those stages. Keep going for it.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Do You Need\u00a010,000 Hours or Only 20 Hours?<\/h3>\n<p>This something that I really want you to think about.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve probably heard about the 10,000 hour idea that&#8217;s out there. It was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B001ANYDAO\/?tag=coachingreall-20\" target=\"_blank\">Malcolm Gladwell<\/a> who quoted a study that talked about many of the great achievers and highly successful people.<\/p>\n<p>They discovered that they had about 10,000 hours of experiences in whatever it was they were good at.<\/p>\n<p>There were The Beatles and a few other famous people, I don&#8217;t remember all the details at this point. (<em>Read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B001ANYDAO\/?tag=coachingreall-20\" target=\"_blank\">Outliers<\/a><\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>Well, someone recently challenged that, because what happened is we&#8217;ve all heard that and we think, &#8220;God, it&#8217;s gonna take me 10,000 hours to learn anything. I&#8217;m never gonna be good at it.&#8221;<\/p>\n[shareable cite=&#8221;Abe&#8221;]Often, we don&#8217;t even start learning, because we don&#8217;t feel that we have the time to invest.[\/shareable]\n<p>How about this, twenty hours. Yep, it&#8217;s possible.<\/p>\n<p>I think it was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00AM7E4LM\/?tag=coachingreall-20\" target=\"_blank\">Josh Kaufman who wrote the book,\u00a0<\/a><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00AM7E4LM\/?tag=coachingreall-20\" target=\"_blank\">The First 20 Hours: How to Learn Anything\u2026Fast<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is possible to learn something in twenty hours, be good enough to know it, and use it.<\/p>\n<p>You may not be at unconscious competence but you&#8217;re going to know it. (<em>Read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00AM7E4LM\/?tag=coachingreall-20\" target=\"_blank\">The First 20 Hours<\/a><\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>So, the next time you&#8217;re hesitant, when you&#8217;re going in to learn something, sign up for a course, whatever it is, just go for it. If you really want it, if it&#8217;s really going to help you in your life, or in your business, just get there and do it.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t be afraid of the time that it&#8217;s going to take, because it may take less time than you think.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"max-width:600px;max-height:360px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:60%;\" ><iframe title=\"YouTube video player 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5MgBikgcWnY?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n[offer-box href=&#8221;http:\/\/sostartover.com&#8221; linktext=&#8221;Reminder: Have you checked out my book?

A Millionaire&#8217;s Mindset, Budget To Learn<\/h3>\n<p>Put emphasis on your learning. Take part of your budget and set aside money every month for learning. You may not necessarily spend it that month. Maybe you&#8217;re saving up for a bigger course or even of some sort.<\/p>\n<p>Continually put some money, five percent, tent percent, into your learning. Pay for that learning, because you really need it. Your future depends on it.
