Practical Growth Academy – January 2018

Practical Growth Academy
A private membership group of individuals who want to learn practical ideas together and apply them for insane personal growth
Problem #1: I can’t measure my personal growth
Imagine going to the gym every day for a year.
January 1st you weigh 230lbs.
December 31st you weigh 160lbs but you look like a boss.
You can actually measure how much your hard work paid off. When you look in the mirror, and back at the picture a year ago… you can see the definition of your muscle, the lack of fat around your waist and confidence boost when you think back to all that hard work.
Imagine working on your personal brand or business venture with the 4 hair-pulling free hours you have each day.
By the end of 6 months you can literally see your income double… triple.. and maybe even 10x.
You can look at your monthly budgets and see that your savings and investments are growing.
During the holidays this year… you have an extra $3000 to spend on gifts for your family and friends.
The problem with self-development is that it’s really hard to measure your growth.
How were your relationships last year? Did you grow?
What about your happiness?
Motivation levels?
Your work ethic? It’s difficult to measure that stuff.
Problem #2: I can’t read as fast as other people
Did you know the average CEO reads more than a book a week? That’s like 52 books a year
If you were like me in high school, reading was one of the most embarrassing things to do.
Remember getting picked on to read out loud? What about spending hours at home trying to focus so you could finish the packet of The Catcher and The Rye?
I sucked at reading. I didn’t want to read. Then I got hooked on reading books that actually helped me grow my business, my relationships, and eventually myself as a person. These books are the 2nd best thing to finding a mentor. A few studies have actually correlated books read to yearly income.
Now I have a whole business around reading, summarizing and animating books that help millions of people!
Problem #3: I’m not around a positive community that helps me grow
When I graduated high school, I wasn’t around people who supported me and made me the best me I can be.
I wasn’t around mentors. My first week of college sucked because I spent so much time doing homework I couldn’t even make any friends.
I’m sure if you think back to the lowest point in your life… you weren’t around positive people who you needed to be around.
It’s a fact that you are who you spend most of your time around
