AUTO UNIVERSITY
AU: Auto University: A Daily Path to Growth and Financial Freedom
What if I told you that in just twenty minutes a day, you could become a professional in your current field, or even in a brand-new one, without stepping into a classroom? That’s the power of what I call Auto University.
Auto University is about using your consistent car rides, plane trips, or travel time as a classroom. Sure, travel can be relaxing, but too often we drift through it on autopilot. Instead, why not fill that valuable time with resources that grow, inspire, and ignite you? Podcasts, audiobooks, motivational talks can completely shift your financial and personal future.
Think about it: thirty minutes a day adds up to over 150 hours a year. That’s the equivalent of attending a college course, all from your car! Personally, some of my best ideas and insights have come while listening to podcasts or audiobooks on the go.
Why Daily Learning Matters
Experts say it takes around 10,000 hours to achieve mastery, but you don’t have to start with thousands. Just twenty to thirty minutes a day equals 120 to 180 hours every year. Over five years, that’s nearly 1,000 hours of intentional learning. Listening to one podcast daily is like reading 30 books a year—that’s earning a degree in your own car.
When you dedicate that time to learning about money, mindset, and strategy, you’ll not only accelerate your debt freedom but also build the foundation for lasting wealth.
Free Resources for Auto University
The best part is, many of these tools are free:
Podcasts on business, money, and personal growth (like my Big, Bold Moves; Abundant Life Podcast).
Libby, a free app for checking out audiobooks from your local library.
YouTube University, full of free courses.
TED Talks, offering insights from the world’s brightest minds.
Romans 12:2 reminds us, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Every drive is a chance to renew.
Your Circle of Five
Jim Rohn once said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Who are your five? These should be people you’d trade places with in terms of success, character, and lifestyle. Your circle can either lift you higher or hold you back.
Seek out mentors, authors, or leaders who inspire you. Don’t hesitate to reach out, grab coffee, or schedule a call. Your circle of influence will shape your growth.
A Simple Action Plan
Dedicate twenty minutes daily to learning.
Choose two or three resources and stick with them.
Intentionally shape your circle of five.
Track your learning weekly—just a sentence or two is enough.
Auto University + Free Resources + Your Circle of Five = Your Growth Plan.
