Note from Caleb: Corbett Barr, Chase Reeves and I are launching our latest project today: Fizzle: Honest Video Training for Online Business Builders. If you want to make a difference, become an expert, or earn a living online you can find out more here.
Everyone knows that to get great at something you have you practice.
“Put in the time.”
“10,000 hours.”
“Perfect practice makes perfect.”
That topic is sexy to talk about. We hear about the dedication, energy, and effort that people put into become the best at something and we want to do that too.
We all want to be experts, but we also want to get there as fast as possible. I’m not talking about shortcuts, I’m just talking about taking a direct path to your goal of becoming a leader in your field.
But what are the two best ways to do that? I’ll tell you.
To Become the Best, Learn from the Best
Unless you are trying to do something that no has EVER done or attempted before, there are people that you can learn from.
And to that note, there probably isn’t a lack of people trying to get you to pay them to teach you how to learn.
One of the hardest parts of becoming an expert is knowing who to trust and who to learn from. You don’t take advice from strangers on the street (I hope), so why do you do it online?
Take the time to really figure out who the top 10 experts in your field are, see what they offer in terms of training (paid, free, one-on-one, etc.), and make an investment into your future.
Almost no one baulks at dropping $50,000 to $100,000 for college and taking decades to pay it back, but how much have you spent on educating yourself since then?
Invest. In. Learning.
To Get to the Top, Help Others Up First
The third piece of the expert equation besides learning and doing is surrounding yourself with amazing people. Not just so that they will help you get to the top, but so that you can help THEM get to the top too.
Two of my favorite quotes about this theory are:
“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” – Jim Rohn
“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.” – Dale Carnegie
Read those again. They are powerful lessons.
1. Surround yourself with awesome people.
2. Focus on what they need, not what you need.
If you are doing work online, travelling the world, or even just working from home it can be hard to find “your tribe”. You probably just have a combination of the bloggers you read and people you’re friends with on social media and call it good.
But if you want to really take it to the next level you need more interactions, more connections, and more accountability.
Find a mastermind group, join a community or forum (like Fizzle’s), and become the leader in what you want to be known for.
Helping people is the fastest way to the top. (tweet this)

it’s amazing how many folks view others who do similar as “competition”. they’re your “community” – and if you miss that, you’re missing out on value, advice, collaborations and growth.
Exactly! Peers, not enemies.
This is Awesome! Unluckily I don’t have money to enter right now, but I will next month
See you in a month then.
Big believer that “Success leaves clues” meaning that people who have already been successful in a certain area many times leave a book or some sort of information on how they did it. Tis’ up to us to take advantage.
Will take a hard look at fizzle.
Love that thought Dwayne. Learning and knowledge isn’t all you need. You need action too.
