Successful People Know This

Summary

• If two individuals participate in the same training but see different results, it often means that the training doesn't cover all the necessary skills.
• Implicit assumptions are present in any educational content; for instance, my book presumes readers understand English.
• Success is quicker for those who have accumulated more of the requisite skills before receiving new information.
• Having an advantage in skills allows for immediate application and better use of the right information.

How To Take Action

I would suggest first assessing the skills you already have that are needed for success. Just like when two people learn the same thing but get different results, it's often because one person has more of the skills needed. For example, if someone reads a book on marketing, understanding English is just one skill. They also need to know about business, how to talk to customers, and maybe how to design ads.

A good way to get better quickly is to figure out what skills you're missing. Write down the skills that are needed to do what you're learning about. Then, see which ones you have and which ones you need to work on. Maybe you're learning to bake for a new business. You need to know how to measure ingredients, how the oven works, and what customers like.

If you want to apply new info right away, make sure you have the right basic skills. For example, if you learn a new way to talk to customers, make sure you're good at listening and asking questions first. This way, you can use what you learned better.

Remember, don't worry about what you don't know yet. Start with what you can do. Use your strengths and build up the rest bit by bit. And always, keep learning and practicing. That's how you make the most of any training or new information you get.
