By the time you finish reading this piece, you will have a clear understanding of how skill stacking works and how you can use it to your advantage.

Skill Stacking is the process of stacking relevant skills on top of your main skill to get a more enhanced and highly paid valuable skill. ( Read my other post on skill stacking to learn the basics)

Ever wondered why people become stagnant and end up working like the same person they were 3 years ago?

It's because they still work with the skillset they had 3 years ago. It's not even their fault. It's how society has programmed their brains.

This piece is for the ones who want to increase the value of their skills by skill stacking which will help them make more money.

All the great people like Dan Koe and Nicolas Cole have used this framework to get to where they are now.

1. Study the skill stack of the top ones in your game

For instance, let's say you want to become like Dan Koe. Then why not start with how he started?

The chances are higher that you will end up like the people you are following and seeking advice from. The crucial thing to note here is you have to master 1-2 main skills and understand the rest. You don't need to master every single skill that you're trying to learn. For instance, if my main skills are writing and content creation, then I will spend 80% of my time mastering them and the other 20% UNDERSTANDING the other skills like persuasion, human nature, and human psychology which I want to stack. It's futile trying to master all skills as it will take you decades if you go down that route.

Your purpose here is to make your skillset as valuable as possible and not try to achieve mastery in all areas.

2. Increasing your VPH (Value Per Hour)

Who do you think is worth more? 1. The guy who only knows how to record videos or 2. The guy who knows video recording, editing, animation, capturing and holding attention, delivering results, etc. THE SECOND GUY.

Your VPH is how much are you worth for one hour of your time. Your goal is to increase it by stacking relevant skills so you will be perceived as more valuable and ultimately will lead to making more money. It also means that you should always aim to provide your services and skills to high-ticket clients ( the ones who will pay you more).

When you're confident in your skills, don't be afraid to charge more. They need you more than you need them because you will make them way more money through your expertise than they are paying you.

It all comes down to taking action by learning. Even losers can watch YouTube tutorials all day and feel like they are doing something productive. Practicing relentlessly will give you real experience to perform better in the world.
