How to Use Autonomous Competitive Learning to Double Your Income
Learning IR#4 Strategic Knowledge is a new requirement for earning a living in today’s hyper-competitive, global marketplace. If businesspeople fail or decline to learn so they are unable to earn a living, or make enough money to avoid running out of it during their old age, they and their families suffer harsh consequences.
This makes using autonomous competitive learning to double your income, productivity, and value worth taking seriously.
This is part 2 in the series, What is Autonomous Competitive Learning and Why Use It?
Let’s start with a brief review of Part 1
Autonomous competitive learning (ACL) is learning with intentions to compete successfully, win contests, earn a living, or produce greater competitive capabilities than competitors can. It enables businesspeople to produce new outcomes in new competitive situations before or when needed rather than waiting for some authority to say what to learn and when to learn it. The moment they want to increase their income and value, they turn on their computers and start learning.
ACL practiced individually or socially with a network of colleagues, employees, employers, customers, or vendors, changes everything for businesspeople and entire businesses. It increases the speed at which they can adapt to new, complex, and rapidly changing competitive situations, increasing their relative power in the marketplace.

Businesspeople use autonomous competitive learning to accumulate IR#4 Strategic Knowledge
Anyone who has a computer, tablet, or smartphone has the most powerful tool for learning, communicating, coordinating action, and producing goods and services that has ever existed for individuals and businesses.
However, owning a computer doesn’t mean that a person knows how to use it to increase their competitive capabilities, income, productivity, and value. Only people who learn knowledge that enables them to design a steady stream of new, more valuable offers with their computers can compete effectively for high incomes in a global marketplace.
We call this knowledge “strategic knowledge.” People who continually accumulate strategic knowledge throughout their careers, rather than work hard with the same common knowledge everyone else possesses, can earn and save enough money to live a good life with their spouse throughout their entire lives.
How to use ACL to double your productivity, value and income
1. Make learning about increasing your capabilities to earn a living to take care of your family rather than a task to complete or a chore to get done.
2. Be in good moods when learning. Don’t allow your psychology to manage you.
Good moods include being mature, humble, dignified, in wonder, enthusiastic, passionate, thankful, and appreciative.

3. Practice recurrence, reciprocation, and recursion, which is the only way to learn anything.
4. Be serious, dignified, thoughtful, and ambitious when learning.
5. Learn because it is the best action to be in to fulfill your most important and dignified purpose as an adult, which is to earn a living to support your spouse and children.
6. Practice autonomous competitive learning to accumulate strategic knowledge every day for the rest of your career or until you fulfill your financial, career, and business intentions.
