How would you learn marketing If you could start over?

I was thinking how would you lean marketing all over again, what ways would you implement and how?

In my opinion, marketing is something that cannot be learnt, it is an inborn natural skill, which can only be sharpened. What can be learnt is product (or service) knowledge about the product (or service) one markets.
The best people I have met in marketing, have been school dropouts, who spent their time hustling on the streets when they were young and that experience made them to sharpen the natural inborn marketing skill that they already respectively had.
That is why not everyone who have spent their time hustling on the streets are good in marketing, unless they do have the natural inborn marketing.
And again not everyone good in marketing hustled on the streets, some hustled it out their different ways.

Marketing is a myth. You only make losses by marketing.

Marketing is any activity (paid or free) that is done towards the intention of selling a product or service.
So, if I have an awesome product or service the uniquely solves a problem that people have, but I do absolutely no marketing for it, I inform no one about it, I just keep it all to myself. In that case, how do I make any potential profit out of that product or service, considering the fact that my reason for creating that product or service was (is) to make profit from it.
Bear in mind once again ANY activity at all whatsoever done towards the intention of selling a product or service, is marketing.

I would start with learning to do research on goods and competiition, ways how competitors advertise. To put it simply people do things that work. It is hard to get into saturated fields, but doing some research you can always find what people are looking for, so what is the demand. then look for suppliers of the demanded goods/services. After all it is much easier to find customers when there is space for it and you just impliment techniques other using for an unsaturated field.
