Learning New Things Faster & Easier

At every stage of our lives, it's possible to learn. Recent discoveries have revealed that the brain can learn new things at any age, so no longer is our brain stuck once we are older.

It does become a bit difficult to learn later in life, but you can learn new things faster and easier with a few simple methods.

The first step is stepping into the role of "Learner" in your life. Open yourself up to being a learner instead of needing to know everything. This is a quantum shift in your possibility for learning because instead of holding onto the old, you are embracing the new.

There are many ways to learn:

*Books

*Courses

*Mentors

*Podcasts

*Blogs

*School

*Social Media Groups

*Google

*Youtube

These are my top favorite ways to learn, and I utilize all of them simultaneously.

Yes, I said simultaneously. Let me explain...

When I want to learn a new topic, I always start on Social Media Groups, Blogs, Google, and Youtube.

These all have the amazing search-engine ability built into them for a variety of general topics.

When you search for what you are looking for, there are algorithms built in to SUGGEST related topics, and this is how I find the things I'm looking for often is by paying attention to the recommendations!

Next: I actually open up my intuition. I pay attention; for me, I pray and ask God to show me the resources that will help me learn faster (and they become highlighted to me in the form of a sense or feeling that I get when I'm on the right track).

From here, I start learning.

One huge tip: Don't feel the need to finish everything you're learning...

Sometimes, you might start reading something or going through a book or course.

THIS IS IMPORTANT: If you feel like you should shift and go somewhere else while learning, you will not get a losing grade by pivoting.

So I do this all the time; I jump from topic to topic and only focus on what really grabs my attention the most.

It should never be a dread to learning. Learning should be fun. We have to shift our perspective towards fun for its work.

Just as a child learns by play, learning is a form of play as adults, and something that I suggest you try out.

If you've never made learning fun, embrace the concept, and see how it works for you.

Think of a topic that you've always wished you could learn, and start randomly researching it - EVEN IF IT'S A WASTE OF TIME.

You can ask questions in Facebook Groups or post on forums. You can look up youtube videos and find books and podcasts by authors on various topics!

When you utilize these all together, you can learn anything faster than you ever thought possible.

Another great way to learn is by asking questions and trying this one "I'm not sure how to ask this question, but I'm wanting to figure out how to XYZ and wondering what direction to go in. Can someone help me?"

This question shows humility and says, I don't really know what I'm doing, but I really want to learn. Embrace this idea of the learner and the fact that you don't need to know everything.

The future will open up for you!

Gaining Confidence When Using Intimidating Technology

Technology can be very intimidating. Sometimes, we can get stuck in feeling like we don't know what to do - and don't want to mess anything up, so we probably shouldn't do anything at all. We aren't sure what works, what's going to get a result.

This is a normal part of dealing with technology that everyone goes through.

We might feel like we're not sure if the actions we take will get a result.

We may not even know how to find the information we are looking for.

It can feel like an impossible barrier to break past, this feeling of:

1.) I need to know what to do before doing it...

2.) I'm not sure what to do because I don't know what to do...

3.) Whatever I do with technology, it doesn't work, and I'm not sure what to do next....

And this can leave us stuck and paralyzed.

During coaching hundreds of people through their technology issues, I find this to be a common problem - and a very solvable problem.

The best way to break out of it is first to find some inner peace about technology.

Clear your mind of the feeling that if you make a mistake, or it doesn't work the way you wanted, that it's the end of the world.

The good news is this: imperfect action with technology and marketing in your business is the best way to learn and grow.

Tinkering is the magic behind the breakthrough.

Playing around with technology & testing out new software is what you want to do more of. Clicking buttons to see "What does this button do, what does that button do," almost the way a child does.

You're not doing surgery, and you're not dealing with major financial decisions, you're not being regulated by a legal body (unless you're making income claims or health claims, then please study the FTC regulations.)

While there are rules for email marketing abuse and Facebook ads abuse, you can learn these in less than a day by going over the policies and procedures on the websites of these service providers.

At the end of the day, just taking action to play around and see what happens is the first step!

The camera doesn't have teeth, even tho it feels that way. The email software isn't going to kill you. Your social media isn't going to end your life.

This is an excellent exercise in growing past your comfort zone to do things you've never done before.

TRY THIS: Make a LIVE video on your social media. Go live and talk on video, even if you're not sure what to say.

We can get so caught up in our head, overthinking how everything could go wrong, arguing with ourselves.

I can't stress this enough: You have to stop overthinking the process and overthinking what you have to do.

This leads to overwhelming and burnout by our creation and thinking because we think up ways that things will go wrong.

Focus on finding self-acceptance and inner peace when you take action instead of thinking about how things can go wrong. This will activate you to solve problems faster and more effectively than fear ever will allow you

Then, from here, do the tinkering... Mess around with the technology that you're using, even if you're not sure how to use it.

If you're stuck on something, get some help. Join some Facebook groups and ask questions. Ask in the #GrowYourLife community. Schedule a 15-minute call with me on my website to talk about where you're stuck at jeremiahkrakowski.com/freecall

Youtube videos can help you discover what you don't know as well.

Beginners Guide To Practicing Visualization

When you visualize yourself doing the very thing you are stuck on, you activate yourself to take action on a level you never imagined.

Before I set out to write this blog post, I took 5-10 seconds, closed my eyes, and visualized myself writing it. Right now, I am doing the very thing that I am telling you to do.

This is a powerful practice that works no matter who you are, no matter what you are doing. Don't discount or discredit its value in your everyday life.

In your mind's eye, see yourself doing the activity BEFORE you are doing right before. Seconds before. I'm not talking about visualizing yourself being finished with the activity at all. Visualize yourself preparing and STARTING. Visualize what that starting step looks like.

Then, put your practice into action by doing the thing you visualize.

For many of you, this will be one of the hardest things you've ever done, and yet it'll be the most life-changing.

See yourself doing things that you've never done before. It's not delusional thinking, ideas of grandeur or psychosis of the mind woo crap because you're going to put it into action IMMEDIATELY.

Visualization is an activity that our military does, and athletes do. Top performers around the world visualize their actions.

Yet, for some reason, we feel like it's below us to do this practice. We think that it doesn't work, or 'I'm not that type of person."

What if you tried something you've never tried before?

Part of the reason certain practices like visualization are so hard is that we might be so invested in a world of NOT believing that visualization works at all that we are afraid to try it. We are invested in our reasons not to do them.

Don't allow pride and ego to keep you stuck. Don't let toxic beliefs and religion to keep you stuck.

When you see yourself doing something you've never done before, you activate certain parts of your body to prepare yourself to take action.

When it comes to writing, making social media content, blog posts, Facebook ads, courses, whatever you are doing – visualize yourself doing the activity.

See yourself taking the first step, and then start.

By the way, it's ok if you don't finish. It's ok if you struggle at it. It's ok if you don't do it correctly. Perfection is overrated.

You are a learner right now, learning something new. Embrace it the way you did when you were first learning to drive a car or ride a bike. You're going to mess up and make mistakes, and that's entirely by design.

When you start doing this practice of visualization more and more, your life will begin to change!

You will visualize yourself doing impossible things and then actually do them.

But this isn't going to happen just waiting until someday. The time to act is now. Don't make excuses or reasons why tomorrow is the time. Today is the time.

Visualize yourself doing something that you've been putting off for a long time, and then do it!

See yourself starting the process, and then go start in your real life.

Watch what happens. You'll be shocked, and then you can write to me and let me know how it goes!

Creating Facebook Ads That Convert To Sales

Unless you’ve been unplugged from online marketing for a long period of time, you know that Facebook Ads are a great way to get in front of the people who want to buy your products online.

However, with so much misinformation out there it’s hard to know what to believe about running Facebook Ads.

When I ran my first ad on Facebook, it was 2009 when the Ads Manager platform first launched. I was doing affiliate marketing for an ebook and insurance offers!

From here, I went on to manage millions of dollars in Facebook ads for companies I worked for and generated profit from those ads.

You can lose a lot of money if you run your ads the wrong way….

This is why I put together my course for $47, Social Media Ads That Work where I show you how to run ads that sell online.

But I want to give you a birds-eye view of how to get sales with Facebook Ads. If you want to dive deeper, I do recommend my video course, but this should be enough to get most people started!

One of the most difficult parts of running ads is HOW to use the ads manager, as it’s kind of complicated (my course covers all this). For the sake of this article I’m not going to go into those details, but focus on what’s important.

Facebook’s algorithm can be “trained” to find your target customer for you. This is why content on Facebook is so important. Live videos and copy.

You want to speak - and communicate to the people who are looking for what you have to buy, and target people based on their lifestyle and interests.

So for example: Music, Magazines, Brands They Buy, Tools They Use, Influencers.

This will help you build your first audience of people called a Custom Audience.

From this customer audience, you’ll be able to track who goes to your landing page, or watches through video content you have 75% through.

From here, you can create an audience (like a bucket of users on Facebook) to do two things with:

1.) Retarget ads

2.) Create lookalike audiences

These are the real sauce of running facebook ads. Retargetting ads can continue to show the same people who engaged with your videos or visited your website more ads for what you are selling. You essentially can repeatedly show up in front of the same people who are interested in what you have to offer!

Lookalike audiences are basically “artificial intelligence audiences” - the AI on facebook finds people who have similar interests, things they talk about, friends, patterns, social circles as who also watched your content and visited your website.

You can then target ads to these people and get more specific to whos going to buy from you.

Eventually, you want to track further down the actions people take like purchasing products from you, or checking out specific pages on your website.

You can then create more specific lookalike audiences of people similar to who purchases your product for example!

This allows you to find more buyers at the lowest possible cost!

For every client and ad campaign I’ve worked with, we started doing this with just $5-10 a day, reading the reports, analyzing the ads that converted, and creating more ads like the ones that get sales!

This process is what I go over in detail, as well as what creatives convert to sales the most - and how to read reports to create better ads! You can register for Social Media Ads That Work here.

So how do we go about doing all this?

It starts with a simple word document! Every ad that I make starts with writing a few lines of copy in a word document!

You’ll want to lead with a headline that does a few things

1.) Grabs people’s attention

2.) Imparts vision on what they are going to get if they continue reading the ad.

From here, your copy is going to break down a story of what the person can expect when they visit your landing page.

This needs to be connected with the creative and landing page copy that you use as well.

Here’s a podcast episode I recorded on Writing 7 Figure Attention Grabbing Headlines

Lastly, using a simple smartphone, recording a simple video that follows the formula of:

Who: Who you are
What: What you have to offer
Why: Why they need to buy it (the solution to the problem they have)
How: How they can register.

I like to lead with what people are trying to do and accomplish, the result they can expect to get and my experience in the first 30-60 seconds of an ad to cold audience, then show people what they are going to get.

Use your words to describe and paint a picture in people’s mind for what is possible for them!

If you’re running a retargetting ad, your ad copy and creative are different. These are people who’ve already checked out what you have to offer and know about your product, so you’re whole goal is to get their attention (sometimes by saying “Hey I noticed you checked out XYZ product”) and to answer any final questions they might have about what you have to offer!

In my Course Social Media Ads That Work I break down this entire process for you to get more sales with retargeting ads, what ads convert, and how to know what’s going to work!

Setting up the Facebook PIxel is a lot easier these days than ever before. Most platforms let you just type in the pixel ID, so check your platform to see if they offer this!

The pixel is what will track visitors on your site, and the actions they take. You will have to do some setup with the event setup tools on facebook, but they are very easy to use to target the people you’re looking for and get more sales.

You’re able to read reports and tell what ads are converting the most and create new ads similar to what is working best, and turn off the type of ads that aren’t!

It’s not complicated, it just takes consistency and doing the right things over and over again to get leads, sales customers, and clients with ads.

I want to help you with this.

My course has a 30 day money back guarantee to anyone who wants to buy it, so if you want to start creating Facebook Ads that sell and have someone who’s done it and gotten results help you, this course is for you!

If you still have questions about running ads online, feel free to send me a message or a DM on any of my social media channels and I can help get your questions answered!
