On this episode, live from NAR, I interview Levi Lofton. Lofton is a social media superstar. And he approached social media success the way he approached many things in his life: through “hyperlearning.” Hyperlearning, which may be a term he coined, involves studying as much as you can about a subject in 60 days and then executing on what you learn. Here is how to learn in 60 days.

Immerse yourself 

Thanks to YouTube, Skill Share, or even your local public library, you can learn how to do anything. Whether you want to change a light bulb or learn particle physics, there are books and videos that will help you learn the basics.. Yes, it can take years of practice to achieve mastery, but learning the basics of anything no longer takes enrolling in expensive schools that take years. Completely immerse yourself in a topic for 60 days.

Pick 1 topic

Traditional 4-year schools give you a well-rounded education. If you want to learn as much as possible in 60 days, have tunnel vision on the one topic. Don’t try to learn everything about everything, try to learn everything about one thing. The other subjects can come later.

Model success

Levi modeled success by finding people who are successful and doing what they did, with some minor tweaking for his goals and his personality. The “how” of success will always change, but the “who” is what matters. Find out who has done what you want to achieve, and then model their behavior. If you want to build a better mousetrap, be as persistent as Thomas Edison when he invented the light bulb.
