endel.io for deeper focus. They also have rebates for employee bundles etc. So you can super charge your team. (Full disclosure i'm not affiliated with ender.io, I'm just a big fan of tools that can enhance performance)

@sentry_co Love it! I have tried the free version in the past, but never upgraded. What about it have you found value in?
FlowLayout
@wyatt_feaster Its very good if you need to focus really deep. We solve different tasks at different times. Some things are more shallow and you can solve it with some distractions and random music, and some tasks are really hard and require a deeper focus. That's when I reach for endel. I do wish it had more variation. I hope they open a store TBH. To offer different variations
Very good question! This is my honest answer:
1) courses - here you have to be very clear what you want to learn and from who.
2) books - some of my personal favorites are rework, $100m Offers, no rules rules, lean startup
3) networking events - many times can be free! :) meet inspiring people who can help you and teach you some new things and you can help them with something! :)

@matej_cabadaj Love it! I have yet to do much in terms of courses. Any recommendations in the realm of growth hacking or community building?
Books I could not agree more. I have been finding alot of great content. I recently enjoyed That Will Never Works and No filter (the first 2/3s of it then it gets a little boring for me haha)
I am just starting to attend these myself.

@matej_cabadaj @slimmy82 Awesome! I will add those to the list.
My recent favorite is
That Will Never Work - By Marc Randolf
@wyatt_feaster unfortunately, I do not have any personal experience with any courses on these topics.
From personal experience of building communities on YT - focus on the value you provide to the community. Share some uncommon experiences, skills, information. Save people time, serve it on a golden plate. All this will make people really perceive the information as valuable and make them more likely to follow you / keep listening to what you have to say.
Building a strong network: Connecting with like-minded individuals, mentors, and potential collaborators can be incredibly enriching. This can open doors to new opportunities, provide valuable insights and perspectives, and foster support and accountability on your journey. Consider attending industry events, joining online communities, and actively engaging with relevant individuals.

it's not just the knowledge, but also the new perspectives and ideas they bring.

@wyatt_feaster podcasts is a great one also. I’ve learned so much from podcast! But they are free (which is best value for money lol)

Fantastic discussion! Investing in self-development and business growth is crucial. I've found that a mix of courses, books, and practical tools can make a significant impact. For instance, platforms like MasterClass and Coursera offer a wide range of high-quality courses that can enhance specific skills and knowledge. In terms of books, 'Deep Work' by Cal Newport and 'Thinking, Fast and Slow' by Daniel Kahneman have been game-changers for me. Also, incorporating AI tools for efficiency can't be overlooked. I've been exploring GPTBLOX, a platform that aggregates over 8,000 GPTs, providing a wealth of resources and insights. It's a unique way to stay ahead in the fast-paced digital world. What's your take on blending traditional learning methods with cutting-edge technology like AI to accelerate self-development and business growth?

@barryzheng568 Great! I will add the books to my list. Thank you!
I think AI is a great way to get information a lot faster than we ever have. To me, I don't think it matters how you get the information as long as you find value in what you are learning.
