Foundational Education

• Reading, writing, and math are the foundational principles taught in school.
• These principles can be used to learn the rest of the disciplines.
• However, the education system should be redesigned to teach only foundational principles.

Physical Health

• Living in this world means living in the physical plane, so it's important to understand what to eat and how to move to increase energy and longevity.
• Learning how to train and eat to look and feel the way you want is crucial.
• Other things under this bucket include sleep routines and physical training.
• Physical health is a priority because it affects all other disciplines.

Professional Skills

• Professional skills depend on the career path you choose.
• Formal education is helpful, but real education begins after graduation.
• Identifying deficiencies in professional skills is important for growth.
• Professional skills are the third level of education.

Emotional Intelligence

• Understanding your own feelings and thoughts is crucial for growth as an entrepreneur.
• Identifying deficiencies in emotional intelligence is important for growth.
• Being able to name and accept deficiencies is necessary for growth.
• Emotional intelligence is the fourth level of education.

Foundational Education

• Formal education is not enough to learn everything you need to know in life.
• Foundational education includes learning about emotional intelligence, physical health, financial education, relationship building, professional skills, and spiritual growth.
• Most people have no education on these topics.
• Entrepreneurs need to learn these disciplines to feel more complete.
• These disciplines are not taught anywhere.

Relational Skills

• Relational skills are how to communicate, influence, and deal with others.
• Mastering yourself is the first step to being able to relate to others.
• Being able to relate to others is important for building groups, tribes, and companies.
• Books that talk about how to deal with other people can be transformational.
• Being likable and trustworthy is more about character traits than hacks or tricks.

Financial Education

• Financial literacy includes personal finance, which is learning how to spend less than you make.
• Wealth is a ratio between how much you earn versus how much you spend.
• Decreasing expenses can increase wealth.
• Financial education also includes learning how to multiply money and have it work for you.
• Entrepreneurs need to know how to manage finances to have a successful business.

Philosophical Values

• Philosophical values are the values you choose to live by.
• These are the things that you believe to be true that are eternal.
• Having philosophical values can be incredibly useful.
• Entrepreneurs need to have values to guide their decisions and actions.
• Having enough money to spend millions of dollars a year for the rest of your life assumes that money doesn't even grow.

The Importance of Philosophical Growth

• Philosophical growth is the most important bucket for entrepreneurs to fill.
• It involves understanding what it means to be human and the purpose of life.
• Improving other areas such as financial education, relationship building, and physical health will not lead to fulfillment without understanding why you are doing them.
• Correcting language patterns and self-talk can help shift a defeatist mindset to one of growth.
• Understanding your own philosophy and where you derive meaning in life can lead to a more fulfilling existence.
• Philosophical growth can lead to a desire to help others and make a positive contribution to the world.
