The skills we accrue throughout our lives are crucial to our professional and personal lives.
Whether we realize it or not, amassing a valuable set of skills is what separates successful people from the rest.
While experts are constantly experimenting and pushing themselves to try new things, others who don’t push themselves or expand their skills stay stuck in a rut.
And while this may be comfortable at the time, neglecting our growth and skill development can be deadly for your professional life — and this can have a domino effect on your personal life, too.
Instead, Mindvalley’s founder Vishen Lakhiani argues that our skill sets can be adapted at any time, and it doesn’t have to take the world. Vishen has devised a number of hacks to improve his own skills — and you can use them to upgrade your life, too.
