I recently started learning French.
To build the basics, I started with Duolingo which is a very fun and effective gamified platform for learning languages.
It's so well-designed and addictive that learning feels like playing a game.
It takes very little effort to study. You look forward to it every day. It's hard to stop once you do one lesson because you get rewards and want to continue.
In the first week, despite traveling and having much less time than usual, I've been studying with Duolingo at least 30 minutes a day.
I just received my first weekly progress report. Take a look:
It completely blew my mind that 97% of people quit after less than 4 hours of studying. Of course, some may have decided to use another language learning software or work with a tutor or study in a different way. But most likely the majority quit because they just gave up.
They gave up despite using the easiest, most entertaining, game-like language learning software that makes it so easy that it feels like playing and not studying.
Learning a new language is infinitely easier than building a successful business. If you're not sure whether you can make it, remind yourself that this is your competition.
If you do the bare minimum, you're already ahead of 97% of people and your competition shrinks dramatically.
Out of 1,000 people pursuing the same business idea, a year from now only a few will remain. Will you be one of them?
