Getting the Most out of your Audio/Video Programs

How many training and self-help programs do you have on your shelf? Did you learn and apply everything they taught? Are you searching for the next one to listen to?

STOP!

Before you buy another program, let's talk about how to use them effectively.

First of all we need to realize that we learn most things through repetition. Seeing, hearing or doing things until they become second nature to us. Think about your first bicycle experience. I bet you were not an expert driver when you first got on. But, through repetition you eventually mastered the beast.

Next, we need to realize that our minds never shutdown, run at the speed of light and process thousands of bits of information per second. Our minds sort and file this information to be referenced later. Now let's say you are at a stoplight in your car, there is a bakery on the corner and the wonderful smell of Hot Apple Pie blows through your window. Grandma's hot apple pie just happens to have been your favorite since your were a young child.
What's going to happen?
Most likely you will drive from one stoplight to the next and not remember anything about the block you just drove. Instead, between the stoplights you seen the green backyard leading to the kitchen window with grandma's apple pie cooling on the window sill. What just happened? You just took a mental vacation! This is why you can listen to a disc or watch a movie the second time and hear or see something different than the first time. It was always there but you wern't.

OKAY let's listen to one of our programs.

Pick the program and listen to it all the way through.(I couldn't stop you anyway)

Now go back and listen to tape 1 or disc 1 every day for the next 7 days. If the tapes or disc is divided into more than one major concept only listen to one concept at a time for 7 days..

Now we have the repetition going. During the listening, your mind will be stimulated to take little mini-vacations. These little mental vacations will become easier to work with the more you practice. How do you work with them? Just learn to recognize they are happening and hit the pause button on the player. When you come back from vacation, hit the play button. Realize these mental vacations can also be creative and valuable to your lessons.

It's that easy to gain so much more from your existing programs. I know you are saying, "I have programs with 26 lessons and that will take six months to listen to!". My answer, "SO WHAT!"
You can listen to 26 one hour lessons in 26 hours and maybe, just maybe learn how to effectively use a couple of concepts. Or, you can listen to almost four complete lessons in 26 hours and master all four. In six months, you will have either listened to the whole program a couple of times or have been exposed to all the lessons in great detail.

Self-Education

Recently read a quote from Jim Rohn that pretty much sums it up.

Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune. Jim Rohn

One of the best things we can do is continue our education throughout our lives. It's sad to think of the untold millions that do not understand when the formal education process is over, their self-education is just beginning.

After working in a large manufacturing firm over twenty years, I've seen hundreds of people that had a great distaste for their jobs. Not really the company, but the profession they had choosen. What they didn't and most likley don't know is that they let a teenager decide what they would do for the rest of their lives. Honestly, would you let your kids or the kids down the street tell you what you should do? That is exactly what we all do! As teenagers we start planning what we would like to do and set out to gain the education to do or become whatever that was. The sad fact is that most people will stick with that decision the rest of their lives. I'm not saying bad decisions were made, but what I am saying is that we made the best decisions based on the information and experiences we had up to that time. It is funny though how people will stick by the decision of that teenager even if it eats on them day in and day out.

If you just want to make a living so you can survive from the cradle to the grave, more power to you. But, if you want out of life all it has to offer, do or continue self-education. You will be amazed what it can bring!
