Business leaders are asking one question right now: How can my business survive the economic upheaval generated by the COVID-19 crisis? The way to do that is to help the economy keep moving. And the way to do that is to keep providing value that customers are willing to pay for.  To be frank, not all businesses can or will survive. That’s the hard truth of it. But many, many others will if they respond with the right strategy now. One seemingly popular solution has emerged, especially among entrepreneurs. That is to give away all you can for free. After all, the world is in a panic, the economy is rollercoastering, and the future feels uncertain. Anything we can do to lighten the load of our friends and neighbors feels like a good idea.

Next Monday, I’m going to be reopening the course which has been revamped with over twenty new and updated lessons. Previously, I wrote about why now is the perfect time to start an ultralearning project , and gave three different paths you can take to come up with ideas.

Today I want to get into the weeds and talk about a useful concept to think about learning any skill, whether it’s math, art, languages or business: practice loops . What is a Practice Loop? A practice loop is an activity, or group of activities, you repeat over and over again while learning something. For example: Basketball – Playing games is a practice loop. But so are layup, shooting and passing drills. Painting – Each painting you make. Programming – Each program you complete. Physics – Each problem you solve. B...
