And what makes him so remarkable is his path spans totally unrelated fields: before his ventures in space (SpaceX) and electric cars (Tesla), he got his start launching an online directory service (Zip2), then went on to merge his fin-tech company (X.com) in a deal that brought PayPal. Musk dreams big, and the sheer difference in industries he enters is what sets him apart \u2013 and also increases his risk. One of Musk&#8217;s strategies for lowering this risk is known as &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/observer.com\/2016\/09\/how-elon-musk-learns-faster-and-better-than-everyone-else\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">learning transfer<\/a>&#8220;. Essentially, it helps Musk learn the basic principles on a deep level, <em>fast. <\/em>He\u00a0then uses this speed to his advantage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"Post__SectionWrapper-sc-174xy8l-1 jkcuFG\">Here&#8217;s how it works: first off, Musk breaks down his lessons \u2013 whether in space travel or finance \u2013 into abstract principles. This lets him get to the core concepts that drive different industries, but on a deep level. Since learning transfer is defined as &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/theelearningcoach.com\/elearning_design\/learning-transfer-hard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the degree to which an individual applies\u00a0previously learned knowledge and skills to new situations,&#8221;<\/a> research suggests that this breakdown of core principles helps facilitate learning transfer better. Secondly, he then reconstructs these core principles in order to apply it to other industries. Experts suggest asking yourself two questions: &#8220;What does this remind me of?&#8221; and &#8220;Why does this remind me of that?&#8221; When you&#8217;re embarking on something new, training yourself to ask those questions helps you form connections between two seemingly unrelated concepts. This will ultimately help you find the patterns so you can learn faster and make better decisions.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11473\" src=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/10317754274_506cb5ab30_b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/10317754274_506cb5ab30_b.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/10317754274_506cb5ab30_b-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/10317754274_506cb5ab30_b-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/h2>\n<div class=\"Post__SectionWrapper-sc-174xy8l-1 jkcuFG\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sara_Blakely_Resourcefulness\"><\/span>Sara Blakely: Resourcefulness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11421 size-full\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box;vertical-align: middle;border-style: none;width: 824px;height: auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kalibrr.com\/advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/10317754274_506cb5ab30_b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" data-caption=\" &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/fortunelivemedia\/10317754274&quot;&gt;Photograph by Stuart Isett&lt;\/a&gt; for &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/fortunelivemedia\/&quot;&gt;Fortune Live Media&lt;\/a&gt;\" \/>Change is considered scary because it&#8217;s unknowable. You never what will hit you, when or at what time. And when you&#8217;re trying to a build an empire like Sara Blakely, the hurdles can keep coming \u2013 which is why you need to use every resource at your disposal when they do. As the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/clareoconnor\/2012\/03\/07\/undercover-billionaire-sara-blakely-joins-the-rich-list-thanks-to-spanx\/#1dd69d2cd736\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">youngest self-made female billionaire in the world<\/a>, Blakely&#8217;s journey to success has been anything but smooth. The founder of Spanx had to pull a lot of resourceful moves to get to where she is today. When she couldn&#8217;t afford a lawyer to patent her product, she wrote her own after purchasing a textbook.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"Post__SectionWrapper-sc-174xy8l-1 jkcuFG\">When she wanted to hype demand, she had friends buy their own products, then mailed them checks after to reimburse them. When she was losing the Neiman Marcus director&#8217;s attention for her pitch, she invited her for a before-and-after preview in the bathroom. The list goes on and on. The point is, Blakely didn&#8217;t know if her journey would turn out well. She was trying something that had never been done before. It required taking every challenge as it came and finding a creative way to solve it. When you navigate the unknowable, novel ideas that work within your constraints are the most effective. Yes things are changing all the time, but as long as your resourcefulness is constant, there&#8217;s nothing holding you back.<\/div>\n<div class=\"Post__SectionWrapper-sc-174xy8l-1 jkcuFG\">\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11475\" src=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_516384340.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_516384340.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_516384340-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_516384340-768x565.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dwayne_The_Rock_Johnson_Mental_Toughness\"><\/span>Dwayne &#8220;The Rock&#8221; Johnson: Mental Toughness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re one of Kalibrr&#8217;s millennial jobseekers, then you&#8217;ve definitely heard of The Rock from his early wrestling days. Before he shifted into wrestling and acting however, The Rock had a, well, rocky start to his stardom. As he recounts on his recently launched\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RjATMi9yNd0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube channel<\/a>, Johnson&#8217;s road to success had a lot of unexpected change-ups. Starting out with a football career spanning his high school and college days, he was playing for the Canadian Football League with the dream of making it to the NFL. But instead of being offered a spot, he got injured, was offered a contract with the practice squad, and was ultimately cut. Johnson defines this as his &#8220;Seven Bucks Moment&#8221; because he only had that much to his name when he was fired. He then moved back in with his parents, temporarily depressed and cleaning everything in sight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"Post__SectionWrapper-sc-174xy8l-1 jkcuFG\">After two weeks of that, he decided that he would no longer pursue football, and that he would give his all into professional wrestling \u2013 training to become the entertainer we all know him for today. Johnson recounts that his move into the world of professional wrestling was a long shot \u2013 he had nothing to offer and he didn&#8217;t know if he would find success in it. All he knew was that he believed in himself \u2013 and that one day, the world was going to hear from him and his achievements. After reaching the heights of his wrestling career, he decided to break into acting. And it&#8217;s paid off: as of last year, Johnson was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2016\/jul\/13\/dwayne-the-rock-johnson-worlds-highest-paid-actor-reasons-why\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the highest paid actor in Hollywood<\/a>\u00a0with a net worth of <a href=\"https:\/\/coed.com\/2016\/04\/23\/dwayne-johnson-net-worth-the-rock-how-much-is-dwayne-the-rock-johnson-worth-money-salary-paid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$125M<\/a>. This just goes to show you that no matter how much change you go through, if you\u00a0<em>consistently<\/em> believe in yourself when nobody else does, then you can achieve great things. Change may be difficult, but it&#8217;s definitely not impossible. And since it&#8217;s inevitable, the best you can do is apply these strategies, develop your own, and learn as you go along.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"Post__SectionWrapper-sc-174xy8l-1 jkcuFG\">\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Feel_ready_for_a_change_in_your_career_Click_here_and_see_which_opportunities_are_in_store_for_you\"><\/span><strong><em>Feel ready for a change in your career?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalibrr.com\/job-board\/w\/200-fresh-grad-%252f-entry-level\/1?utm_source=b2c-blog&amp;utm_medium=anchor-text&amp;utm_campaign=blog-cta&amp;utm_content=freshgrad-struggles-060827-june-2017&amp;ref=b2c-blog_free_blog-cta_freshgrad-struggles-060827-june-2017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a>\u00a0and see which opportunities are in store for you.<\/em><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kalibrr_is_now_on_Android_Click_here_to_download_our_app_on_the_Play_Store\"><\/span><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalibrr.com\/?utm_source=b2c-blog&amp;utm_medium=anchor-text&amp;utm_campaign=blog-cta&amp;utm_content=freshgrad-struggles-060827-june-2017&amp;ref=b2c-blog_free_blog-cta_freshgrad-struggles-060827-june-2017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kalibrr<\/a>\u00a0is n<\/em><i>ow on Android!\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/kalibrr-app-bl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to download<\/a>\u00a0our app on the Play Store<\/i><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Change is always hard to navigate.
