Most young people underestimate how much their learning style shapes their earning potential. Not intelligence. Not grades. Not whether they went to college. The real difference is how easily they can learn new, complex, or technical skills—and how honestly they understand that about themselves.
When you know your Studying Level (SL), you stop forcing yourself into paths that drain you and start choosing the path that fits your natural strengths. That’s when progress accelerates. That’s when income grows. That’s when opportunities open.
The SL framework gives you a simple way to understand your current learning capacity so you can choose the right next step in the new AI economy. It’s not a judgment. It’s a tool for self-awareness—because self-awareness is the foundation of every fast-moving career story you’ve ever admired.
Some people advance faster because they choose the right path for who they are today, not who they wish they were. You can do the same.
Studying Levels (SLs)
Your Studying Level shows how much you enjoy and can handle learning technical or complex subjects. It helps you pick the best, most effective and efficient path – so you can start making money and succeed faster.
SL 0–3: Low Studying Level
If you’re in this range, technical studying drains you. Programming, engineering, law, accounting, robotics—these subjects feel heavy and confusing. You can force yourself to study them when someone tells you to, but you rarely choose them on your own. You learn best by doing, not by reading or watching long tutorials.
This is not a disadvantage. It simply means your fastest path to earning is through simple, high-impact customer-growth skills that don’t require deep technical study. Skills like outreach, lead generation, appointment setting, customer research, basic content creation, and simple AI-assisted tasks. These are skills businesses desperately need, and they’re skills you can learn quickly because they rely on action, not theory.
For example: take case of a young woman. She struggled in school, hated studying, and assumed she wasn’t “smart enough” for the AI economy. But she was great with people and had no fear of sending messages or talking to strangers. She learned a simple outreach system, helped a local fitness coach get 11 new clients in a month, and suddenly had a track record of results. She didn’t need to become a programmer. She needed to become useful.
If you’re SL 0–3, your advantage is speed. You can start earning within weeks because your path doesn’t require deep study. You just need a clear system, consistent action, and a willingness to help businesses grow.
SL 4–8: Medium Studying Level
You can study technical content if you see a clear benefit or if someone guides you. You don’t love studying, but you can push through when needed. You can learn moderately complex skills—analytics, basic coding, marketing strategy, operations, AI-assisted workflows—but you need time and structure.
Your best path is a mix: practical experience plus targeted learning. You don’t need to choose between “study” and “action.” You combine them. You spend most of your time doing customer-growth work—outreach, research, content, sales support—while slowly building technical skills that make you more valuable over time.
Take the case of a young man. He wasn’t a natural academic, but he wasn’t allergic to studying either. He started by helping a landscaping company improve their online presence and generate leads. While doing that work, he learned basic analytics and simple automation tools because they helped him get better results. After two years, he had both a track record of results and a set of technical skills that made him stand out.
If you’re SL 4–8, your advantage is adaptability. You can grow in multiple directions. You can earn now and study later. You can build a strong foundation without overwhelming yourself. And if you ever decide to pursue deeper technical fields, you’ll be ready.
SL 9–10: High Studying Level
If you’re here, you enjoy learning at least one technical subject on your own. You pick up complex ideas quickly because curiosity drives you. You don’t study for grades or rewards—you study because you genuinely want to understand how things work. Math, coding, engineering, technical AI, data science—these subjects feel natural to you.
Your best path is to combine customer-growth work with deeper study. You don’t need to choose between earning and learning. You do both. You help businesses grow while building expertise in a technical subject you enjoy. Over time, you publish what you’re learning—tutorials, breakdowns, insights, experiments. That content becomes your signal. It attracts opportunities. It builds your reputation. It shows your thinking. And help businesses in your chosen technical area get more customers and grow their business.
Take the case of a young woman as a sample scenario. She loved math and machine learning. She started by helping a small e-commerce brand improve their product recommendations using simple data analysis. While doing that, she studied AI systems in her free time and shared her notes online. Within a year, she had a growing audience, a portfolio of technical work, and companies reaching out to her.
If you’re SL 9–10, your advantage is depth. You can build technical expertise that compounds over time, and help businesses in your technical area grow. You can become someone whose thinking is valuable. You can shape your own lane in the AI economy.
Why SL Matters in the AI Economy
AI is changing everything, but it’s not replacing the need for people who can help businesses grow. In fact, it’s increasing the demand for people who can combine human skills with AI tools. But the way you approach learning determines how quickly you can take advantage of these opportunities.
SL 0–3 helps you move fast with simple, practical skills. SL 4–8 helps you build a balanced path with both action and learning. SL 9–10 helps you go deep and build expertise that compounds.
The mistake many young people make is trying to force themselves into the wrong category. Someone who hates studying tries to become a software engineer. Someone who loves studying avoids real-world work because they think they need more knowledge first. Someone in the middle jumps between extremes and never builds momentum.
When you choose the path that fits your SL, everything becomes easier. You stop fighting yourself. You stop comparing yourself to others. You stop wasting time on strategies that don’t match your strengths.
A Simple Framework for Using Your SL Today
1. Identify Your SL Honestly
Think about how you feel when learning technical subjects. Energized? Neutral? Drained? Your answer tells you more than any test.
2. Choose the Path That Matches Your SL
Don’t force yourself into a path that doesn’t fit. Don’t copy someone else’s strategy. Build your own.

4. Use AI Tools to Accelerate Your Strengths
AI makes every SL level more powerful. It helps SL 0–3 move faster, SL 4–8 learn smarter, and SL 9–10 go deeper.
5. Build a Small Track Record of Results
Even one win—a client gained, a lead generated, a process improved—can change your trajectory.
Examples of How SL Shapes Real Opportunities
A local gym needs more members. SL 0–3: You run outreach and book trial sessions. SL 4–8: You run outreach and analyze which messages perform best. SL 9–10: You build a simple model to predict which leads are most likely to convert.
A small bakery wants more online orders. SL 0–3: You help them post daily content and respond to customers. SL 4–8: You help them post content and set up basic ad campaigns. SL 9–10: You analyze customer data and optimize their ordering system.
A tutoring company wants more students. SL 0–3: You handle outreach to parents and schools. SL 4–8: You handle outreach and build simple automations to follow up with leads. SL 9–10: You create a data-driven system to identify which neighborhoods have the highest demand.
Same business. Same goal. Different strengths. Different paths. All valuable and financially lucrative. More importantly, you choose the money-making path that plays well to your strengths.
