Gaining Practical Knowledge In 4 Simple Steps
posted in Stephen Pierce, Self Improvement, Goal Setting, Practical Tips, Take Massive Action, UYMG |Hey Folks,
As some of you may know, I’ll heading up north to Kuala Lumpur (Capital of Malaysia) for 1 week to attend a leadership course by Stephen Pierce and to help out with his Internet Marketing Seminar called UYMG (Unleashed Your Marketing Genius).
I’ll still be posting on my regular days (Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday) but my activities at social networking sites may have to be toned down :). Just in case if any of you, my readers, are going for the same event or some other events over the weekend. I have some simple, practical and very powerful tips for you to get the best out of that seminar you are attending.
Getting The Best From Seminars
Note that I mentioned best (as in best for you) and not the most! Too many seminar participants tend to focus on “Getting The Most” for their money spent. The commonly end up with Information Overload right after the event. They feel the high of “absorbing” the huge amount of information but are confused on which is relevant and important! Consequently, there is a lack of action for some even if they wanted to take action. 3 weeks down the road, most of the information gained will be lost.
In 4 Simple Steps
What I am going to share is my style of learning from Seminars. So can gain practical knowledge and tangible benefits from seminars in 4 simple steps!:
1) Know yourself, Evaluate your current knowledge and the gaps
Everyone has a different level competency and knowledge given a certain subject. Hence, everyone will gain a different experience from any given seminar. You could learn more by knowing where you stand and understanding what you lack.
2) Focus on filling the gaps at the seminar
What’s the point of learning something advance if you don’t know the foundation that it is built upon? A metaphor would be “What’s the point of knowing what’s across the river if you have no means to cross it and take advantage of them?” Focus on filling the gap first then you will have a real chance of learning those advance stuffs! Metaphorically speaking, that’s what I call it “building the bridge”!
3) Integrate the knowledge gained and turn them into activities you can action upon
Once you gain those “bridge building” experience, you will need to translate them into actionable items, activities or a to-do-list so you can take action upon it.
4) Drill the knowledge into your subconsciousness
Now you need to take massive action on these activities immediately. Why?
Firstly, any knowledge gain that is not action upon will be lost over time. Taking action is a way of reinforcing the ideas into our subconsciousness. Once it is drilled in, it will stay there forever until you reprogram it.
Secondly, No action equals no result, which amounts to nothing! So why attend the seminar in the first place?
Conclusion
With these method, I always gained something practical out of every seminar that I attend and I don’t forget them since I had drilled it into my subconsciousness. So if you have in the past been suffering from information overload or “leaking” knowledge, try this method. Oh … Just in case you have not notice, the 4 steps are actual steps of a goal setting exercise I used to set goals when attending a seminar. 
Cheers
James
