0:01Do you know learning styles can hinder, hurt,
0:10or make progression on your understanding
0:13on the way you learn?
0:16It took me some time to reflect on
0:24why I wasn't grasped in subjects.
0:26Like I'm currently studying coding,
0:31getting more and more into tech space,
0:33studying coding, getting into coding,
0:37and eventually I would start dabbling around
0:40with vibe coding, which is using natural language
0:44versus the coding language, computer language.
0:50But I want to know both, and effectively.
0:54So starting from the basis all the way to coding.
0:59And I listened to a lot of my information
1:05rather than as partners or even clients
1:09working on different projects
1:11with video production and marketing,
1:17but with podcasts and lectures to add to that
1:21because I'm driving most of the time
1:24and having phone conversations,
1:29that auditory is my biggest thing.
1:34But knowing me and doing some reflections,
1:37like wow, in school I was more of a visual learning
1:44and kinesthetic, like I was so hands on
1:48and I had to see it.
1:50I had to see it, show me the graphs,
1:53show me this, show me that, I was visual.
1:55Like for us men, even seeing a beautiful woman is visual.
2:02We see them first, then for me it's more so doing
2:08and being together, hands on experience.
2:12And my lady could definitely say that as I'm a filler.
2:20And my love language is physical touch.
2:24Which kind of plays along with the learning style.
2:30If I was a mechanic, I would have to do it.
2:37I would have to feel the tools, play with the tools,
2:39notice the size, lugs and all of this and that.
2:45And then visual also, just seeing it in repetitions
2:48and seeing how things are placed and should be placed
2:53and all aligned, I mean alignment isn't right
2:56because you don't want an unbalanced car
2:58or things out of place or loose,
3:01so things have to be aligned.
3:06But I would say that was my learning style,
3:09kinesthetic visual learner.
3:12You know, I had to do, I had to see, I had to touch.
3:17And those were my biggest things
3:19and as I kind of shift towards my learning ability,
3:25and even the opportunity to sense.
3:28Like I said, I'm more of an auditory
3:32and I think that's a balance,
3:34it's like a split third place,
3:38just like kinesthetic and visual.
3:41Reading and writing and that's tied with auditory.
3:48But like I said, I'm always driving or on the go
3:52or editing photos or doing this and that.
3:55So in the background, I'm listening to different podcasts
4:00and lectures and audio books.
4:04And that's like my third learning style
4:09as far as being effective in me learning and understanding,
4:17which I say it can hinder, hurt,
4:21or make beautiful progression.
4:22It could all be beautiful.
4:24But you never know and sometimes it's situational.
4:29Sometimes I do need to read and write,
4:33take notes, cause I am a note taker,
4:36so in different settings and different things work.
4:43Yeah, being in that balance
4:45between the kinesthetic and visual learner,
4:49I know I wanna shift a lot of things in my business
4:52and how I retain the knowledge,
4:58which simply by doing.
5:03And most visual learners have that good retention.
5:07So, but I read this article by Bay Atlantic University,
5:14translating abstract ideas into visual metaphors,
5:20visual learners improve memory recall,
5:23enjoy increased focus,
5:26and can independently grabs,
5:28organize and analyze information,
5:31making learning more efficient and enjoyable.
5:36That's what I love, the beauty, the thrill,
5:39me just being curious.
5:41Once I'm curious, I will lock in
5:44and try to understand it the best way
5:46that I can go all in,
5:50like I'm slowly getting to coding, like I mentioned.
5:56So if anyone wants to help or have a coding course,
6:02something more shorter where I could just digest it.
6:07Mainly on the go, but if you wanna do a one-on-one,
6:11like I said, I'm wearing hands-on
6:12and we can go through some examples and some build-outs
6:15cause I have a lot of great ideas,
6:18especially in this entrepreneur space
6:22with my creative entrepreneurs, my business owners.
6:27I have a lot of great ideas
6:28and I know I'm only one person.
6:31We have 24 hours a day
6:35and a third of that we must get some sleep
6:38to functionally operate.
6:41At least you should be getting that much of sleep.
6:44If you listen to my previous episode,
6:4733 minutes of sleep, working while I'm tired,
6:51building while I'm tired, yeah, it gets real sometimes,
6:55but that's not all days and I always shoot
6:59for that six to eight hours of sleep.
7:02If I could get to that divine nine sometime,
7:05oof, you'd love it when I'm around.
7:07I would love to, I would surely love to,
7:12but right now sometimes it is 33 minutes
7:17out of the 24 hours in a day.
7:21Something like once or twice a year,
7:23I try not to, at least minimum three and a half
7:29where I could just be almost fully functional.
7:35It's because I'm used to it,
7:37but once I get that seven, eight hours of rest, sleep,
7:42I am golden and I am ready to perform at a high level.
7:47And for my clients, that's what I am learning.
7:51That's why I'm not taking on a lot of projects,
7:53a lot of coaching clients, saying yes to everything.
7:58Because I wanna get more rest
7:59and perform at a higher level
8:03than what most people even see me be more creative
8:07and be more ambitious and focused.
8:10I wanna give it more, more of my all,
8:16not just 80, 85%, I wanna give 101 at least,
8:22at least.
8:24When rest and knowing your learning style
8:27and communication style, it helps.
8:31It helps tremendously.
8:35And it was just something I was thinking about
8:37and reflect upon like dang,
8:39I remember in school we had these learning styles.
8:43Why am I not implying that to my adult life,
8:47to my business, how I'm learning about
8:49different businesses and different industries and coding?
8:55So it's something to think about for yourself.
8:59Take that time maybe in silence and meditation,
9:04paper, a pen, journal,
9:08however you do it, whatever your learning style is,
9:12whatever your love language is,
9:14whatever your communication style is,
9:17which is all important.
9:22It is all important.
9:25And once you love, going back to love language,
9:28once you love what you're doing,
9:31love what you're learning,
9:34you wanna be almost obsessed with it.
9:38And sometimes it gets to that point where you be up
9:4224, 25, 26, 27 hours in a day and counting,
9:52which I've done.
9:54I've been up 32 hours straight one time,
9:59just fascinated, curious.
10:04And now I'm doing research on historical entrepreneurs
10:10and I might have a series coming out.
10:13So stay tuned for that.
10:15That's gonna be amazing.
10:18Something new, switch it up some time or two.
10:23But yeah, I just wanna take the time
10:25and reflect on learning style and my learning style
10:28and how you can and I can apply it to our business.
10:35Our business is.
10:37But this is a wrap, another episode in the books.
10:42Again, this is about learning styles.
10:46It can help you or it can hinder you, hurt you,
10:51or it can make beautiful progression
10:53and help you beautifully, absolutely amazingly.
