Full Transcript for Breaking Limits with Limitless by Jim Kwik | Our Journey Into Lifelong Learning

belief that 68 00:04:17,698 --> 00:04:21,146 he held. And just by taking time to read this book and learn 69 00:04:21,170 --> 00:04:24,730 some new skills, I mean, you're reading way faster, 70 00:04:24,802 --> 00:04:28,562 that's for sure. I mean, and retaining the information better 71 00:04:28,698 --> 00:04:32,842 for just that one example. And it talks the motivation part, 72 00:04:32,898 --> 00:04:36,202 right? What is motivation? What's motivates you, right? To me, 73 00:04:36,258 --> 00:04:39,696 motivation, and I've had good motivation my whole life, 74 00:04:39,810 --> 00:04:43,084 but motivation is having a purpose. You know, what are you getting up 75 00:04:43,124 --> 00:04:47,084 for? You know, what are you doing? Like, right now, me and Kara's 76 00:04:47,124 --> 00:04:50,468 motivation, we have a lot of motivation. We have a grandson on the way. 77 00:04:50,636 --> 00:04:53,820 We're trying to develop a podcast that's 78 00:04:53,932 --> 00:04:57,708 going to be broadcast weekly. So we have purpose, you know, 79 00:04:57,756 --> 00:05:01,092 we're getting up with purpose. We want to go down to the lake and enjoy 80 00:05:01,148 --> 00:05:04,476 that. We're going to work. So we're trying to do. We're trying 81 00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:08,046 to improve my son's house and him and his wife's life, 82 00:05:08,110 --> 00:05:11,686 really. So motivation is 83 00:05:11,750 --> 00:05:15,514 purpose. And then purpose, you know, drives energy. 84 00:05:15,854 --> 00:05:19,254 And then through the book, it talks a lot about. 85 00:05:19,414 --> 00:05:23,294 And I. I think it's true for anything talks about, you can 86 00:05:23,334 --> 00:05:27,342 learn anything. Genius isn't born. It's made you 87 00:05:27,358 --> 00:05:31,382 know them concepts. I believe that that is true a hundred percent. 88 00:05:31,518 --> 00:05:35,704 And the way that he spells it out, it really ultimately 89 00:05:35,744 --> 00:05:39,200 changes how you feel about yourself. It teaches you 90 00:05:39,272 --> 00:05:43,192 things like speed reading, other things it teaches you 91 00:05:43,288 --> 00:05:46,520 is memory. I know since I've gotten older, 92 00:05:46,552 --> 00:05:50,048 my memory is horrible. What did we learn in school? 93 00:05:50,136 --> 00:05:53,992 Repetitious learning. You write down the same word 150 94 00:05:54,048 --> 00:05:57,528 times. He doesn't go about it that way. So he's 95 00:05:57,576 --> 00:06:01,322 really teaching you how to learn. 96 00:06:01,448 --> 00:06:04,990 Nobody taught us how to learn. Well, one example with that is, 97 00:06:05,062 --> 00:06:08,862 like, focus learning, growing up, being told to focus or to concentrate, 98 00:06:08,918 --> 00:06:12,574 but nobody taught you how to do those things. In this book, he teaches 99 00:06:12,614 --> 00:06:16,142 you how to do those things. And it's. It really, again, 100 00:06:16,198 --> 00:06:19,630 it's a game changer. It's. It's, you know, and if you go 101 00:06:19,702 --> 00:06:23,510 on and you look at his website and he's got some learning online classes. 102 00:06:23,542 --> 00:06:26,550 That you can take, and if that's your. Your style, absolutely. But the book, 103 00:06:26,582 --> 00:06:30,274 for us, was fast. The book was great. You can do it anywhere. 104 00:06:30,604 --> 00:06:33,716 What I want to emphasize is if you go online and just watch a couple 105 00:06:33,740 --> 00:06:37,636 of his videos from when he's demonstrated the ability 106 00:06:37,820 --> 00:06:41,772 of learning, he goes through a two, two and 107 00:06:41,788 --> 00:06:45,044 a half hour conference. He'll be at a conference, 108 00:06:45,084 --> 00:06:48,412 and he's a key speaker. And people throughout the conference for the 109 00:06:48,428 --> 00:06:52,364 two and a half hours, he tells people to throw out words from different tables. 110 00:06:52,524 --> 00:06:56,356 And then at the end, before he gets off stage, he sits 111 00:06:56,380 --> 00:07:00,364 there and he'll recite those words frontwards and backwards 112 00:07:00,664 --> 00:07:03,816 and get them all correct. And he just teaches you how to 113 00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:07,696 do that in a simple, easy step. It was mind blowing for me. 114 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,360 The speed reading was mind blowing. The memory, you know, 115 00:07:11,392 --> 00:07:15,424 how to turn things into a story, to remember stuff and 116 00:07:15,464 --> 00:07:18,644 staying focused and having purpose in life. 117 00:07:19,024 --> 00:07:22,176 And then there was a lot of other things that he brought to the table. 118 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,872 Most people don't talk about it, and I never had a doctor that told me 119 00:07:25,968 --> 00:07:30,324 that I had to feed my brain. Nutrition, specific nutrition. 120 00:07:31,464 --> 00:07:35,160 So that was enlightening for me. And we started it. We started almost 121 00:07:35,232 --> 00:07:38,896 putting everything that he talks about, and he tells you ten things that 122 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,352 your body needs daily for optimal performance. 123 00:07:42,528 --> 00:07:46,608 I easily memorize those ten things in an easy 124 00:07:46,736 --> 00:07:49,808 way that I can say anytime. I'll give you 125 00:07:49,816 --> 00:07:51,912 the ten to you. Avocados, 126 00:07:52,048 --> 00:07:56,080 blueberries, broccoli, leafy greens, 127 00:07:56,272 --> 00:07:59,950 salmon, walnuts, turmeric, water, 128 00:08:00,102 --> 00:08:03,542 and then dark chocolate. So he talks about all those things in 129 00:08:03,598 --> 00:08:07,086 which each one of those specific things does for your body and the brain. 130 00:08:07,190 --> 00:08:11,318 He goes into a little bit deeper, and he talks about different people's 131 00:08:11,366 --> 00:08:14,974 brain codes, their animal code. Me and Kara found 132 00:08:15,014 --> 00:08:18,710 out that we eat the same brain code. So what 133 00:08:18,782 --> 00:08:22,262 James is trying to say is he helps you learn how

134 00:08:22,318 --> 00:08:25,442 your brain works and how you learn how. 135 00:08:25,498 --> 00:08:29,114 Yeah, how you learn how you think, how you process information, how you 136 00:08:29,154 --> 00:08:32,290 output information, and then how that 137 00:08:32,362 --> 00:08:35,994 differs from other types of styles and 138 00:08:36,034 --> 00:08:39,642 how those styles can work together. So, especially when you're working 139 00:08:39,698 --> 00:08:43,074 in, you know, in the workplace, you're working in team work 140 00:08:43,114 --> 00:08:46,914 kind of efforts, or in the home place, like James mentioned, 141 00:08:47,074 --> 00:08:50,522 the two of us don't think and work the same way. But knowing 142 00:08:50,578 --> 00:08:54,010 his brain style and how he intakes information and 143 00:08:54,042 --> 00:08:57,874 outputs information, that and how that differs from me 144 00:08:58,214 --> 00:09:01,870 helps us be able to be more conscious of how to work together, 145 00:09:02,062 --> 00:09:06,118 to not cause conflict, but instead to create 146 00:09:06,166 --> 00:09:10,022 an even deeper cohesion. Again, just eye opening. To be able 147 00:09:10,078 --> 00:09:13,166 to look at yourself from an objective point, 148 00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:16,998 look at your partner in our situation in an objective point, 149 00:09:17,046 --> 00:09:21,318 and be able to learn how to think 150 00:09:21,366 --> 00:09:25,450 a little bit differently or change how you may react to something 151 00:09:25,622 --> 00:09:29,890 so that things remain productive as opposed to counter 152 00:09:29,922 --> 00:09:33,442 productive. We actually read the book and listened to 153 00:09:33,458 --> 00:09:37,122 the book. We kind of did it at the same time. I just retain more 154 00:09:37,138 --> 00:09:41,122 of the information. I think not only that, your brain works differently to process 155 00:09:41,218 --> 00:09:44,490 information both ways when you hear something as opposed 156 00:09:44,562 --> 00:09:47,458 to reading it. One of the things we learned, which I think was huge, 157 00:09:47,506 --> 00:09:50,818 and again, I wish I'd have known this all winter. Most people 158 00:09:50,906 --> 00:09:54,874 process or are capable of processing 400 words a minute, 159 00:09:54,914 --> 00:09:58,924 but most people talk at only about 150 to 200 hundred words a minute. 160 00:09:59,224 --> 00:10:02,632 So you can actually listen to an audiobook on life 161 00:10:02,688 --> 00:10:06,944 times four and retain it. And it's actually better because 162 00:10:07,064 --> 00:10:10,392 you're less likely to get distracted. So just to give you that, 163 00:10:10,488 --> 00:10:13,096 before you start listening to this book, you can listen to it a little bit 164 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,416 faster. I guess it would be two times is what you can listen 165 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,152 to it up to and your brain, because now you have to focus 166 00:10:20,248 --> 00:10:23,672 because your brain's working harder to process these words quicker. 167 00:10:23,768 --> 00:10:27,680 You're not getting distracted, you're not, your brain's not going on tangents, and you're missing 168 00:10:27,712 --> 00:10:30,766 out on half the information because you stopped paying attention for a minute. I think 169 00:10:30,830 --> 00:10:34,566 that's money right there for anything. You can get more done 170 00:10:34,630 --> 00:10:38,366 in less time because you can speed that up. Your brain is capable of processing 171 00:10:38,390 --> 00:10:42,190 that information and actually will probably retain more of it because you won't get distracted. 172 00:10:42,302 --> 00:10:45,958 I don't even like listening to books at the average speed or the 173 00:10:46,006 --> 00:10:50,154 normal speed. It's slow that your brain's not staying engaged 174 00:10:50,774 --> 00:10:54,038 one of the things about this book, the book is not a theory. Right? 175 00:10:54,086 --> 00:10:57,646 It's a practical, easy, proven blueprint that shows you exactly what 176 00:10:57,670 --> 00:11:01,356 to do in a mum leash your own knowledge. The book even talks 177 00:11:01,380 --> 00:11:05,180 about knowledge is not power. Power. Knowledge is how you 178 00:11:05,212 --> 00:11:09,300 use it. Power is how you use the knowledge. Yeah. Just knowing something isn't power. 179 00:11:09,452 --> 00:11:12,892 Utilizing it just to know it doesn't really do you any good unless you know 180 00:11:12,908 --> 00:11:15,944 how to use it to learn or to develop something. 181 00:11:16,684 --> 00:11:19,064 It's like the ultimate textbook for learning. 182 00:11:19,484 --> 00:11:22,620 I truly believe that if you've given up on 183 00:11:22,652 --> 00:11:26,156 learning, if you've decided that you've learned everything you need to 184 00:11:26,180 --> 00:11:29,478 learn in life, you've given up, essentially, because everything's 185 00:11:29,526 --> 00:11:33,294 constantly changing. I think it was one thing to always learn in the 186 00:11:33,334 --> 00:11:37,390 past, but in this day and age, there's so much information growing 187 00:11:37,422 --> 00:11:40,942 and changing so quickly, we're learning more. One of the facts he 188 00:11:40,958 --> 00:11:44,230 put out there is it's something crazy. Like, in the last ten years, 189 00:11:44,262 --> 00:11:48,110 we've learned more about the brain than we did in the last 1000 years. 190 00:11:48,182 --> 00:11:51,926 Information is constantly growing to give up on learning 191 00:11:52,110 --> 00:11:55,326 and gaining new information and new insight so that you 192 00:11:55,350 --> 00:11:58,902 can have more proper opinions or be better at work, 193 00:11:58,958 --> 00:12:01,916 or just be your best self. Whatever. It. It doesn't have to be work related. 194 00:12:01,980 --> 00:12:05,260 It can be for your personal life, something you're personally interested in. 195 00:12:05,292 --> 00:12:09,436 Maybe it's child learning, so that you can nurture your

child 196 00:12:09,540 --> 00:12:12,820 the best that you can. Whatever it is, we're always learning. 197 00:12:12,892 --> 00:12:16,460 So this book not only teaches you how to learn, 198 00:12:16,572 --> 00:12:20,228 how to learn faster, how to retain the information better, so you're 199 00:12:20,276 --> 00:12:23,540 getting the most bang for your time, you're making the most 200 00:12:23,572 --> 00:12:27,956 of every moment of your life. But he gives you actionable 201 00:12:28,020 --> 00:12:31,868 steps, as James said, to put these new skills into 202 00:12:31,956 --> 00:12:35,906 action, but then helps you determine why you 203 00:12:35,930 --> 00:12:39,458 should be a life learner, or why you want to learn, or why you need 204 00:12:39,546 --> 00:12:42,826 to get something out of this book before you even start digging into it, 205 00:12:42,850 --> 00:12:46,314 so that you stick to it, ultimately, I feel like it helps you clarify 206 00:12:46,354 --> 00:12:50,210 your goals. You don't have to be getting like James and I, we're not fighting 207 00:12:50,242 --> 00:12:53,850 to get to the top of a career. We're not fighting to be, 208 00:12:53,922 --> 00:12:57,682 you know, like we used to be the top of the restaurants 209 00:12:57,818 --> 00:13:01,222 in our company. We're fighting to be the best version of ourselves 210 00:13:01,278 --> 00:13:04,494 that we can be. And ultimately, in my opinion, that's all 211 00:13:04,534 --> 00:13:07,950 any of us could want to do, is be the best of ourselves every day, 212 00:13:07,982 --> 00:13:11,350 be better than we were yesterday. I think that this book helps you 213 00:13:11,462 --> 00:13:15,038 line that out and really get comfortable with that idea. 214 00:13:15,166 --> 00:13:18,598 So, yeah, I agree with all that. You're trying to just 215 00:13:18,646 --> 00:13:22,350 get better at life and really to not be stressed out. 216 00:13:22,422 --> 00:13:26,094 So when you're learning things faster and you're retaining more information, your work 217 00:13:26,134 --> 00:13:29,896 life balance is easier. And our work life balance, we're trying to change our 218 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,232 work life balance, and this book is going to jumpstart us 219 00:13:33,288 --> 00:13:36,976 to be able to do that, to work less and to accomplish 220 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,872 more. And that's what I think I foresee the book is I learned all kinds 221 00:13:40,888 --> 00:13:43,816 of great tricks on retaining information better, 222 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,224 reading faster. And he uses an analogy 223 00:13:47,264 --> 00:13:51,304 about reading average person, whatever it is, reads 3200 224 00:13:51,344 --> 00:13:55,040 to 300 words a minute, something like that. However long that takes 225 00:13:55,072 --> 00:13:58,826 you, then you turn around, you can read 800 words a minute. 226 00:13:58,930 --> 00:14:03,282 Think about how much faster you're reading versus the two or 300 words a minute. 227 00:14:03,378

--> 00:14:06,490 So you actually gain more time in your day because you can 228 00:14:06,522 --> 00:14:10,626 read materials and retain it so much faster. And again, that goes outside of books. 229 00:14:10,650 --> 00:14:14,082 I mean, even if you're not going to be specifically reading books, it's going to 230 00:14:14,098 --> 00:14:17,682 help you get through those reports for work faster. It's everything 231 00:14:17,818 --> 00:14:21,862 through your emails. Yeah, exactly. It's going to help you get through those 232 00:14:21,958 --> 00:14:25,670 articles in your newsfeed that you're reading. Whatever it is, you're nailing 233 00:14:25,702 --> 00:14:28,870 that stuff out faster, which gives you more time in your life. I'm glad 234 00:14:28,902 --> 00:14:32,758 that Kara said that about the newsfeeds. He talks about eliminating 235 00:14:32,806 --> 00:14:36,638 your distractions on your phone. Most of us are in a distracted 236 00:14:36,686 --> 00:14:40,622 state. Just another one. So I think you should read the book. Another one 237 00:14:40,638 --> 00:14:44,550 of the things that he talks about on distractions is your 238 00:14:44,582 --> 00:14:48,286 phone. How many times do you get an email and you stop working and you 239 00:14:48,310 --> 00:14:52,256 check the email, then you go back to work. It actually is a proven 240 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,364 fact. Multitasking doesn't work. 241 00:14:55,784 --> 00:14:59,296 I never knew that. And he dresses you in all the science around it so 242 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,880 you can feel confident that's for real. That's just one of the things 243 00:15:02,912 --> 00:15:06,272 in the book. And growing up, I was a fast food manager my whole life. 244 00:15:06,408 --> 00:15:10,928 District manager, whatever. And we told managers they had to get better at multitasking. 245 00:15:10,976 --> 00:15:14,696 You got to multitask better. You got to do 510 things at once to come 246 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,196 in this book to find out that that's really a big, 247 00:15:18,300 --> 00:15:21,604 big lie. You actually get more done when you focus on 248 00:15:21,644 --> 00:15:25,372 one project or one task at a time, and another 249 00:15:25,468 --> 00:15:28,348 one is the Pomodoro, you know, 250 00:15:28,396 --> 00:15:31,812 only staying focused on a project for 25 minutes. Take a 251 00:15:31,868 --> 00:15:35,164 break from it and then. Going back and a break isn't do something else, 252 00:15:35,204 --> 00:15:39,028 like go check your emails or check your social media. A break is go pee, 253 00:15:39,116 --> 00:15:42,900 go get some water, get something to eat. You're still kind of marinating and 254 00:15:42,932 --> 00:15:46,164 thinking about the task that you were doing. Your mind still on it. You're still 255 00:15:46,204 --> 00:15:50,714 finishing that project. Yeah, but you're going to get more done if 256 00:15:50,754 --> 00:15:54,122 you just give your. It's like when I work on small 257 00:15:54,218 --> 00:15:57,690 engines or vehicles or whatever, sometimes you can't 258 00:15:57,722 --> 00:16:01,154 get this bolt and you just keep doing it. It's actually better to walk 259 00:16:01,194 --> 00:16:04,770 away. And then when you go back at it, you have a new approach. 260 00:16:04,882 --> 00:16:08,274 Fresh approach. A fresh approach. And he talks about that, and I totally 261 00:16:08,314 --> 00:16:11,602 agree with that. And you should really do with everything you're doing. 262 00:16:11,738 --> 00:16:14,890 I started only reading for 25 minutes. That's what I read 263 00:16:14,922 --> 00:16:18,496 a day. 25 minutes a day. And you'd be surprised how fast you get through 264 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,896 a book just reading 25. Minutes, especially if you read this limitless book first. 265 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,640 I cannot believe. I mean, he talked about the potential of 266 00:16:25,672 --> 00:16:28,472 reading one book a week, and I just. I really feel like I was like, 267 00:16:28,488 --> 00:16:31,912 man, that sounds like magic. Like, only crazy people can read one book a week, 268 00:16:32,008 --> 00:16:35,072 but now I realize I'm reading two books right now. Like, I. 269 00:16:35,168 --> 00:16:38,632 I definitely do think that one book a week is 270 00:16:38,648 --> 00:16:41,964 a totally attainable number now with a busy life. Like, 271 00:16:42,344 --> 00:16:45,176 well, one of the other things. And it just goes back to reading. I could 272 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,688 just keep going with all the things 273 00:16:48,736 --> 00:16:52,494 that he talks about, but I grew up. You read when you first started reading 274 00:16:52,574 --> 00:16:56,086 in grade school, they had you read with your finger, and you read with your 275 00:16:56,110 --> 00:16:59,742 finger to follow along as you got older. If you 276 00:16:59,758 --> 00:17:02,926 use your finger, people not didn't make fun of you. 277 00:17:02,950 --> 00:17:05,958 Maybe they made fun of you. Maybe it was bullying, or you pronounced a word 278 00:17:06,006 --> 00:17:09,550 wrong and you got away from reading with your finger. 279 00:17:09,702 --> 00:17:13,438 Well, part of the book is reading with your finger is important. 280 00:17:13,566 --> 00:17:17,190 You read so much faster because your eyes are on that word. 281 00:17:17,262 --> 00:17:21,280 So you're just absorbing the word and the words to come when 282 00:17:21,312 --> 00:17:24,992 your fingers on it, less distracted. Sometimes people 283 00:17:25,048 --> 00:17:28,216 read books, and maybe you're one of these people and he'll talk about 284 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,240 it in the book, so I don't want to give the whole book away. 285 00:17:30,272 --> 00:17:34,064 And there's a lot in the book. We barely scratched the surface. But you 286 00:17:34,184 --> 00:17:37,888 read a book or you're reading a paragraph, or you read one 287 00:17:37,936 --> 00:17:40,632 page and you're like, oh, did I read that

paragraph? And you go back and 288 00:17:40,648 --> 00:17:44,288 read the paragraph again. When you use your finger, it keeps you on track. 289 00:17:44,416 --> 00:17:48,390 I really find that I started using my finger again, and I'm 290 00:17:48,422 --> 00:17:51,734 reading books a lot faster and then talks about more than just using 291 00:17:51,774 --> 00:17:54,902 your finger. But that's just one of the key things that I 292 00:17:54,918 --> 00:17:58,310 bet everybody got away from by the time they were in high school. 293 00:17:58,462 --> 00:18:01,894 Absolutely. Yeah. Overall, for our 294 00:18:01,934 --> 00:18:05,822 life, for traveling, even, to be able to have 295 00:18:05,878 --> 00:18:09,430 these tools to help us not only build our 296 00:18:09,462 --> 00:18:13,294 new podcasting business, but to work together better 297 00:18:13,334 --> 00:18:16,998 as a couple, traveling, knowing how each other's brains work. And he 298 00:18:17,006 --> 00:18:20,460 gives you so many tools, even outside of this book, help you in life, 299 00:18:20,532 --> 00:18:24,628 you know, helping us stay more organized and to plan 300 00:18:24,756 --> 00:18:28,468 things around, you know, for example, I just had to build a website and 301 00:18:28,556 --> 00:18:32,380 editing these podcasts and building blogs and creating an 302 00:18:32,452 --> 00:18:36,100 online store. All of these things were a lot. This book helped 303 00:18:36,172 --> 00:18:39,396 me be able to learn how to organize those things, put them 304 00:18:39,420 --> 00:18:43,276 in, as James mentioned, small, simple steps using the different techniques 305 00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:46,898 he teaches in the book. Not only be able to keep just hacking away 306 00:18:46,946 --> 00:18:50,122 at it little by little, but to not feel like 307 00:18:50,178 --> 00:18:53,530 all of it needs to be done yesterday. I think one of the quotes even 308 00:18:53,562 --> 00:18:56,266 in this book, and definitely in the book we're reading right now, which will more 309 00:18:56,290 --> 00:18:59,746 than likely be our next book episode, is don't let 310 00:18:59,810 --> 00:19:04,458 perfect be the enemy of good, and don't let good be the enemy of done. 311 00:19:04,626 --> 00:19:09,018 We had put off going live with our podcast because everything 312 00:19:09,106 --> 00:19:12,426 wasn't perfect. We didn't have everything lined up. And we finally 313 00:19:12,450 --> 00:19:15,066 just got to the point, like, it doesn't matter if the store isn't live, 314 00:19:15,130 --> 00:19:17,794 the website doesn't have to be absolutely on point. 315 00:19:17,914 --> 00:19:21,266 We're putting this off because we're trying to be perfect, 316 00:19:21,330 --> 00:19:24,650 but let's just get it out there and then keep changing it and molding it 317 00:19:24,722 --> 00:19:27,986 as we go. And there's a lot of things that we wanted to do at 318 00:19:28,010 --> 00:19:31,666 first, to go live that now that we have and everything's starting 319 00:19:31,690 --> 00:19:35,306 to move and flow, we're realizing things aren't as important as we 320 00:19:35,330 --> 00:19:38,930 thought they were. I think you get on top of all of these skills, 321 00:19:39,002 --> 00:19:42,754 the motivation to just do it, stop. Stop trying to be perfect 322 00:19:42,794 --> 00:19:46,034 and try to nail it all out exactly how you dreamed it up in your 323 00:19:46,074 --> 00:19:49,394 head. Sometimes it's not going to work out that way. And that's okay. It doesn't 324 00:19:49,434 --> 00:19:52,634 have to, as long as you get it done and you're happy and be happy 325 00:19:52,674 --> 00:19:55,250 with it, because you should be. You should be proud of what you achieved. 326 00:19:55,282 --> 00:19:59,106 It doesn't have to be perfect, to be great. I can't speak to it enough, 327 00:19:59,210 --> 00:20:02,250 and I do believe everybody should read it. I think everybody should read this book. 328 00:20:02,322 --> 00:20:06,730 Everybody should be a life learner. Every human should read this book and read 329 00:20:06,762 --> 00:20:10,162 many books. We are probably every time we read a book now, and probably 330 00:20:10,218 --> 00:20:13,448 even some of the ones we read over the winter, we're going to do an 331 00:20:13,496 --> 00:20:17,496 episode on. Just because some of these books are 332 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,864 life changing. They like. Exactly. These books help change our life. 333 00:20:20,944 --> 00:20:25,444 Absolutely. And when you even read this book, I think the last book we read 334 00:20:25,824 --> 00:20:29,272 was in this book. So it 335 00:20:29,288 --> 00:20:32,696 was so weird that he referenced a book. Absolutely. 336 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,144 That we just read and that was think and grow rich. 337 00:20:36,224 --> 00:20:39,152 And I don't want to talk about that book, but, you know, we're going to 338 00:20:39,168 --> 00:20:43,218 have an episode on that book because that book was even game changer for me. 339 00:20:43,306 --> 00:20:47,010 It really jump started us to do the podcast because it was like 340 00:20:47,082 --> 00:20:50,378 you. Had to stop talking about it and just do it. Just start 341 00:20:50,466 --> 00:20:53,986 doing something, start recording and 342 00:20:54,090 --> 00:20:57,658 start trying to, not even start trying to start 343 00:20:57,746 --> 00:21:01,618 living your dream before you're ready, just start living it. 344 00:21:01,666 --> 00:21:04,658 Because you always think, oh, when this happens, I'll be ready for that. 345 00:21:04,706 --> 00:21:07,322 When I have the house, when I have the job, when I have the car, 346 00:21:07,378 --> 00:21:09,854 when I have the spouse, when I have the kids. 347 00:21:12,394 --> 00:21:15,466 Never going to be ready. You're never going to be ready. You just need to 348 00:21:15,490 --> 00:21:18,138 do it. And that's one of the things I feel like over this winter, 349 00:21:18,186 --> 00:21:21,674 we learned, you

know, we all just had, almost every one of us 350 00:21:21,794 --> 00:21:25,330 just had a significant amount of free time over the pandemic. 351 00:21:25,442 --> 00:21:28,938 And we didn't achieve any of the things we always 352 00:21:28,986 --> 00:21:31,610 said we were going to do when we had more time, when we had more 353 00:21:31,642 --> 00:21:34,850 freedom. We didn't do any of those things. It's never going to be 354 00:21:34,882 --> 00:21:38,138 perfect. You just got to do it. And that's definitely what we gained 355 00:21:38,186 --> 00:21:41,536 out of what we read this winter. And I, I'd have read limitless first 356 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,944 because I think I would have gotten more out of the other books that we 357 00:21:44,984 --> 00:21:48,536 read, not only more understanding, a more fuller picture, 358 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,944 but I would have been able to read more books. It really has been for 359 00:21:51,984 --> 00:21:56,080 the two of us, a really incredible journey we've been going on, and it 360 00:21:56,112 --> 00:22:00,072 has inspired us to just go ahead and pull up the britches and 361 00:22:00,088 --> 00:22:03,496 just run. We don't have much of a safety net. We love 362 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,794 Ryan and Deidre, and we love being available to, to take 363 00:22:06,834 --> 00:22:10,498 care of our grandbaby, who is t 364 00:22:10,546 --> 00:22:13,850 minus potentially three weeks from being here. But you know, 365 00:22:13,882 --> 00:22:17,186 they could tell us to leave tomorrow and we just got to figure out what 366 00:22:17,210 --> 00:22:19,362 we're going to do next. You know, we don't. We don't have much of a 367 00:22:19,378 --> 00:22:22,098 safety net. We're just going for our dreams. We just want to do it and 368 00:22:22,106 --> 00:22:25,466 we're going to do it. I think that when you do that and 369 00:22:25,490 --> 00:22:29,290 you have the confidence behind you knowing that you're capable, 370 00:22:29,362 --> 00:22:32,826 you can do it. And this book is going to help you gain that confidence. 371 00:22:32,890 --> 00:22:36,392 You can achieve anything. Anybody can achieve anything. You just got 372 00:22:36,408 --> 00:22:40,328 to let go of those limiting beliefs and put some skills in your back pocket 373 00:22:40,376 --> 00:22:44,320 that give you the confidence to know that you'll make it no matter what. 374 00:22:44,512 --> 00:22:48,016 Think that's enough? Think we gave them enough for everybody to abide and 375 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,920 read this book? I hope so. I'm, again, genuinely think 376 00:22:51,952 --> 00:22:55,384 every human should read this book. I don't think anybody should continue moving 377 00:22:55,424 --> 00:22:59,144 forward in life. This book should be given in high school, probably middle school. 378 00:22:59,224 --> 00:23:03,296 It should be a textbook for kids. I believe that this book should be 379 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,824 in every school. I believe the education system needs 380 00:23:06,864 --> 00:23:10,496 to be changed. And I believe that when 381 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,064 you read this book, a lot of the things that he talks about 382 00:23:14,104 --> 00:23:17,344 on early learning and early child development, we all 383 00:23:17,384 --> 00:23:20,324 missed significantly. 384 00:23:20,624 --> 00:23:24,184 We never really learned how to focus. We never really learned 385 00:23:24,224 --> 00:23:27,536 how to learn. And we've been reading the same since we were in the third 386 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,280 grade. We never really learned how to study. This book is 387 00:23:31,312 --> 00:23:35,072 it. I think everybody should read it. Shout out to Jim Quick. 388 00:23:35,168 --> 00:23:39,112 And the book is limitless. And he does have a whole if 389 00:23:39,128 --> 00:23:42,624 you go to quickmind.com. so that's kwik 390 00:23:42,704 --> 00:23:46,224 mind.com. of course we'll have the links in the show notes. He's got 391 00:23:46,264 --> 00:23:50,000 a whole slew of e courses. So if you don't 392 00:23:50,032 --> 00:23:53,096 want to read a book but you want the information, maybe you learn better 393 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,728 by physically doing things and practicing things. Or you need to 394 00:23:56,816 --> 00:24:00,004 visually see things. He's got a whole list of courses, 395 00:24:00,144 --> 00:24:03,628 a whole bunch of stuff. Maybe in the future we'll dig in. Like, I really 396 00:24:03,676 --> 00:24:07,436 want to learn how to read even faster. Do you know President John Kennedy could 397 00:24:07,460 --> 00:24:11,044 read 1200 words a minute? That's incredible. That sounds like an amazing 398 00:24:11,084 --> 00:24:14,244 goal to me. So I would totally probably take a speed reading, 399 00:24:14,284 --> 00:24:18,068 one of his speed reading courses. But you can get a really good basic 400 00:24:18,116 --> 00:24:21,772 foundation of all kinds of skills that'll help you unlimit your life, 401 00:24:21,828 --> 00:24:25,228 unlimit yourself, and just be able to really go 402 00:24:25,276 --> 00:24:29,084 for improving your life and yourself. I'll throw this out there. 403 00:24:29,164 --> 00:24:32,672 I read 218 words a minute. There's a 404 00:24:32,688 --> 00:24:36,184 little test on the book you take and I am not. And I'm not even 405 00:24:36,224 --> 00:24:39,640 practice reading faster. I like to read faster, 406 00:24:39,712 --> 00:24:43,192 but I'm not trying to push myself to 800 words. But I'm already 407 00:24:43,288 --> 00:24:47,072 reading 450 words a minute. It's crazy. 408 00:24:47,128 --> 00:24:50,648 This book's going to upgrade your brain. You're going to learn anything faster 409 00:24:50,736 --> 00:24:54,256 and you're going to unlock your exceptional life. That's how I got 410 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,456 to say it. Thanks for joining. Love you. Thank you. 411 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,084 Love you. See you next time. Thanks for listening.
