Ep. 82 - Education vs. Action The Art of Winning
-
- Entrepreneurship
In today's The Art of Winning episode, our host Ashton Levarek discusses the importance of finding a balance between education and action in pursuing one's goals. Ashton argues that while education is crucial for success, focusing solely on education can hold one back from taking action. Young investors, in particular, must take focused and intentional action when it comes to real estate investing rather than rushing into decisions without assessing the situation, as this can lead to mistakes and risks. However, balancing education with taking action is essential, and Ashton suggests expanding one's knowledge base by reading books, talking to agents and property managers, and relying on experienced partners. Ashton believes that young investors should focus 100% on taking action rather than solely on education, as taking calculated risks is key to success. While a solid foundation of knowledge and experience is important, sometimes, the only way to learn is by doing.

[00:00 - 04:07] Education vs. Action
· Ashton discusses why it is more important to take action than education.
· Focusing solely on education can lead to a never-ending cycle of seeking more knowledge, leaving one feeling uncertain and unprepared.
· Waiting to feel fully educated before taking action can lead to inaction and missed opportunities.
· The fastest way to truly learn is through taking action, making mistakes, and adjusting accordingly.
· Experience is often the best teacher, rather than simply reading or hearing about something.
· Learning through partnerships and observing others in action can be an effective way to gain knowledge and experience.
· Finding a balance between education and action can lead to long-term success.
[04:07 – 09:09] Taking Action Comes in Different Forms
· It is crucial to assess the situation and take deliberate action rather than rush into decisions that may result in mistakes.
· Focused, intentional movement is necessary to mitigate risk, whether in war, real estate investments, or life in general.
· Learning from past experiences can help us make better decisions in the future.
· Relying on people who have been there before, such as partners or boots-on-the-ground teams, can provide valuable knowledge and expertise.
· Taking action can take various shapes and forms, depending on the situation.
· It is not always about making big, bold moves but about doing small things that can expand our knowledge base and help us make better decisions.
· Taking sound decisions is crucial in real estate investments and running a business.

"The fastest way to truly learn is by taking action, failing, running into the wall, and then readjusting, shifting your direction and your focus, and then moving in that direction.” –Ashton Levarek.
