And that what his programme is all about. It has been written with the goal of helping you become the best can be be at what you do professionally.
Naturally, this programme does not claim,
nor does it pretend to have all the answers to all you business problems.. No book, course or seminar could do that.
Rather the objective of this programme is to expose you to some tried, tested, and field proven ideas, concepts and techniques that have worked for other business people much like you.
Now I do not know what you do in this world but these tips I got from a very successful Business Man and I am going to share some of his tips to you.
Nevertheless, if you get just one or two good,m usable ideas that you can put into your business operation that makes a difference, then your time effort and money will be well invested.
HOW WE RETAIN INFORMATION.
Getting a new idea is one thin, but what you do with it once you have it, is just important as getting it in the first place. Studies on retention show that you remember.
10% of what you read
22% of what you hear
37% of what you see
56% of what you see and hear, and up to
86% of what you see, hear and do.
Therefore, an idea that is heard but not acted on is only half as likely to be retained as an idea. that is actually put into practice. With that concept in mind then,m it is important to understand that if the information presented in this book is to be of any real value to you it must not only be read, it must be applied. That is to say, it must be experienced, or acted on. And that means it's going to take some effort on your part.
FIVE STEPS OF LEARNING AND RETENTION:-
Learning - the acquisition of new information or knowledge and Retention - the ability to capture that information and recall it when wanted or needed, actually a process that involves five steps.
Firs, is Impact. This actually receiving the idea in your mind. Impact can be in the form of a word, a visual observation or a concept. It makes no difference. Your mind it's capable of making a distinction between a visual and an actual experience. Nor is it capable of determining the difference between a conscious and an unconscious impact.
As far as your mind is concerned those experiences are all the same and your mind will accept them regardless.
If information or an experience appears real to your mind your emotions and nervous system will react as though it were actually real.
To illustrate this point, try this simple experiment:
Seat yourself in a comfortable chair, feet flat on the floor and your had resting comfortably in your lap.
Close your eyes, take a deep breath, let it out slowly and relax. Take another one. Let it out slowly. Relax
even more.
Picture in your mind a lemon resting on a table in front of you/ Visualize it. See it clearly. Look at its shape - its colour - its texture.
Now, mentally reach out with your hand and pick up the lemon. Bring it up to your face. Look at it closely. Squeeze it. Do you notice how firm it feels? Feel the texture of the lemon's yellow colour and round shape, with its pointy ends.
Now, hold it up to your nose. Smell it. Do you notice the lemon citrusy smell?
Place the lemon on the table and mentally pick up a knife that is lying nearby. Cut the lemon in two.
Pick up one half of the lemon and see the juice dripping from it. Bring the lemon up to you nose Smell it again.
Now bite into the lemon.
What's happening to you right now? Is saliva flooding your mouth - in your mind, and physically?
Now consider what just happened. In actuality, there was no lemon. You just pictured one in your mind. While this was just a mental exercise, and the lemon was imagined, chances are, if you are like most people, the mental image you were playing on the screen of your mind triggered certain responses that manifested themselves physically. So, you can see by this demonstration, that Impact is a critical step involved in the process of learning and retention.
Now the second step is REPETITION.
TO BE CONTINUED TOMORROW.
Let me know if this is helpful training.
