painting kickbox Bo in cooking you name it and what I can tell you is that having skills can make the biggest difference in your life it makes life more fun you can make a lot of cool friends you can make a lot of money and best of all once you learn a skill you own it for the rest of your life so the first attractive skill to learn is working out I'm talking about going to the gym doing sports and martial arts working out and being healthy is one of the most attractive traits to have
personally I like going to the gym three times a week and I'm trying to build that aesthetic fighter physique I'm also in the Yale kickboxing club and I do around 8,000 steps of walking each day but you can pick whatever form of exercise that you enjoy most guys anyone can go from a five to an eight in attractiveness simply by working out consistently and going to the gym is probably the easiest way to build muscle and get more lean for most people so if you're a teenager or in your 20s working out is one of
the best investments you can make you'll look more attractive feel healthier and also be more mentally sharp now a second attractive skill you want to learn is writing writing is probably the greatest skill of the 21st century whether you're making a YouTube script an essay a tweet or a website or maybe you're trying to sell a product writing is the foundation and good writing is simply persuasive communication stop complicating things right being a good writer doesn't mean you have to use crazy bombastic and hard words it simply means that your writing is clear and concise
I would much rather write in a way where even a fourth grader can understand me like even even if you notice the way I'm talking to you right now it's simple language because Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication guys being a good writer is honestly one of the biggest flexs in my opinion why because you're earning with your mind not with your time not with your looks it's such a rewarding and Powerful skill to learn and you can share a lot of compelling stories and ideas to help other people grow so learn how to write and
you'll thank yourself later now the next attractive skill you want to learn is music go learn a new instrument learn to make house music learn to DJ guys music is such a fun skill where not only are you relaxing your brain and becoming smarter but it's also very social activity it's one thing to go to a concert with your friends it's another thing to become the artist personally I've played the piano for over 10 years I started with classical piano and then I learned how to improvise with jazz one time I remember performing piano to
a thousand people when I was like 13 that was so fun and it's such a cool experience that I hope to continue doing in the future but just imagine you're built like a Chad you're handsome you're smart you're rich but there's another side to you that creative spiritual side that's just super attractive so learn music it's a beautiful skill and also one that you can enjoy for the rest of your life now attractive skill number four is content creation becoming a Creator is one of the most powerful things you can do today I went from
Z to 100,000 subscribers on YouTube in under 6 months and I did this all while balancing school at Yale having cool hobbies and a fun social life guys becoming a Creator allows you to document your journey it allows you to spread a message and impact millions of people you can also build a crazy Network like I'm not trying to flex but I've connected with so many millionaires serial entrepreneurs artists actresses and cool people and by far the easiest way to learn content creation is to start literally just start post that first video on YouTube and
get better each time and make sure you have a movement don't just Chase views or likes these pointless vanity metrics but become a Creator who educates and inspires others and with time and effort you'll build a magnetic personal brand and once you have that it's like instant credibility you get so many opportunities and you'll also build a crazy social network now the next attractive skill to have is good taste Colin what do you mean by good taste like literally I'm talking about the ability to have an aesthetic sense so for example whenever you see something
on Instagram that you like you screenshot it or add it to an album or whenever you see a cool picture or a quote on Pinterest save it now you might already be doing these things but most likely you haven't been doing it consciously because what you don't realize is that having good tastes is a skill knowing what you like is super valuable so for example Rick Rubin is one of the richest producers of all time he's worth more than $300 million and he doesn't really know how to play music but he has good taste so
get into the habit of building your taste it's also a great way to get to know your unique personality over time you can design a life that is not only aesthetic but also exciting now the next skill on this list is programming listen programming is not for everyone but it's definitely a useful skill to learn because you can create a system that repeats actions through automation that is what you call leverage and Leverage is how you become super wealthy personally I study computer science at Yale but there's just so many free resources online where you
can learn from now another alternative to programming is web design it doesn't matter if the year is 2030 or 2045 if you can build beautiful websites you'll make a lot of money because there's just so much demand for it also nowadays there's so many no code tools like webflow or framer so learn how to code or design cool websites is another high income skill that's super valuable and useful now the next attractive skill to learn is networking this one is a powerful one if you can Master the art of conversation and tribe building life becomes
incredibly fun because you can make friends anywhere in any place in the world you can get new jobs and opportunities and you can learn new things guys the skill of networking is probably a lifelong Pursuit for most people it requires a lot of practice if you want to learn to improve your social skills I'd highly recommend reading How to Win Friends and Influence People it's such a classic book and it will change your life now another life hack for networking is to have a magnetic personal brand honestly if you create art and create content online
it's such an easy and Powerful way to network with other cool people also get in the habit of giving without any expectation of return give compliments to your friends give personalized gifts give books or notes reach out to your favorite Creator and tell him you love his videos and don't ask for anything back guys in the long run if you keep giving without asking anything in return you just naturally build a crazy network of people who are on your side and it's such a superpower now the next attractive skill on this list is cooking cooking
is one of the coolest skills to have as a man and woman if you can cook a perfect medium rare steak or a banger fried rice look being able to to cook doesn't mean that you have to stay at home all the time like me for example I love going out and I enjoy going to nice dinners with people but the skill of cooking is such a basic skill if you don't even know how to fry an egg I don't know if I can trust you seriously also if you have some signature dishes that you
make extra points just shows another side of you that's creative and sophisticated guys the ability to cook to live a healthier lifestyle is just super attractive so learn how to cook now the next attractive skill is having quick wit and a good sense of of humor look you can be a very smart rich and fit guy but if you don't have a good sense of humor and a light-heartedness in your personality you're not going to be charismatic you got to be able to have that humor inside of you where you just find things positive in
life you got to be able to rip those on liners to say what you want without a filter and be really creative now I was very lucky to grow up in a family where I could be myself where I was encouraged to have quick wit my dad's actually a super funny guy and I think I absorb a lot of his light-hearted soul guys don't take life too seriously at the end of the day you're just a monkey with a plan now the last skill you want to learn is meta learning meta learning is learning how
to learn and this is probably the highest leverage skill on this list for example learning how to study is a form of meta learning because once you have an effective Learning System and you know techniques like active recall or space repetition you can get good grades while studying only 2 hours a day meta learning is about knowing how to learn things fast it's about getting the best knowledge you can in the most effective and efficient way it's about using books and podcasts and videos to your advantage so learn how to learn if you can Master
meta learning you can Master any skill and if you can Master any skill you will become that guy so I hope you guys found this video helpful if you did share this video and help a friend out as always God bless the hustle we're all going one one day and I'll see you in the next one
