ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Borrowing Results vs Building Skills
Frazier opens Wednesday’s Growth Notes by inviting listeners to AIM’s weekly Mortgage Mornings workshop every Wednesday at 10:00 AM Eastern (link in the show notes). He shares a topic inspired by a question from Dave Z about paying to have something done versus learning to do it yourself. Frazier notes that information and tools are easier to access than ever—tutorials, templates, courses, coaches, and AI—but warns this can hide a problem: borrowing results without building ability. He describes how people collect scripts or prompts without learning how to actually have conversations or think critically, becoming dependent on tools. Resources should shorten the learning curve while making you more capable; he suggests asking whether you can explain, adapt, and reproduce results without exact instructions. He encourages paying for some tasks, but not at the expense of personal growth and skill development.
