Hello Reader

There is a major problem with the way that reading is traditionally taught in school - it is not designed for retention. Reading, taught as a solitary process, results in reduced retention, around 10% of what is read (this figure is slightly higher for audio books).

However, if you engage with the content experientially you retain 70% of what you have read. If you start applying what you have been reading immediately this jumps up to 90%!

How do you read experientially?

1. Read or Listen to the book and make some notes, highlight and jot down your thoughts.
2. Talk about what you have been reading with a friend, partner, colleague. Debate the themes and the ideas and discuss the practical application of this in real life situations.
3. Formulate an action plan for the implementation of the ideas that resonate, those you have decided are worthwhile implementing.
4. Put the plan into action.

I always enjoyed discussing what I was learning with a business partner or colleagues. But what if you are not in this kind of collaborative environment? Perhaps You don't have a business partner or colleagues available to listen as you process your thoughts?

The Leaders LIbrary is the kind of space where you can discuss what your learning and reading in the forums, and we encourage you to use the forums for this purpose.

A read along is another great way to engage with a book experientially. We have 2 read alongs starting in the next few weeks.

Thursday, April 11 at 12:00 PM GMT+2 Profit First Read Along The PAID space where all the Good stuff happens. Weekly group coaching calls for the Profit First Read Along. RSVP

​

HURRY - PROFIT FIRST READ ALONG STARTS THIS WEEK! If your business financial management is a source of stress and frustration this is the read along for you.

1 hour per week of a group coaching session holds you accountable to actioning the learnings as we track through the book together.

Look out for new read alongs dropping soon.

I am thinking about doing "The E Myth Revisited" in the next quarter. Send me an email if you're interested in that one and I will send you the early bird discount code.

See you in the Leaders Library.
