No. 132: A Smarter Way to Learn (&\/Or Teach) from Experience<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Experience can be quite a good teacher. So one could argue that it pays to learn from her.<\/p>\n

However - as someone once observed her fees\/charges can often be quite high. And not all her students survive \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

In this issue I explain why it pays to seek information, education, guidance and support to pursue your valued work and\/or life goals, from smart providers of experience based learning resources<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s world, the need to avoid needless waste of one\u2019s resources is becoming more of an imperative for achieving long term success.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you want to grow in your personal or professional life, you must invest in self-development. <\/em><\/p>\n

That has myriad implications for different persons. But the bottom line is that you have to find a way to learn as much as is needed to make yourself more competent to succeed.<\/p>\n

Traditional approaches have always included attending learning courses in formal institutions.<\/p>\n

But when you have a business to run, and responsibilities to meet, making out time to attend live events can prove a bit demanding!<\/p>\n

That's why smart thinking providers of information and education offer self-tutoring\/home study alternatives...<\/h3>\n

Sometimes they do it as a means of giving their target audience a taste of bigger offerings they have. That way, anyone who takes up such offers will gets offered additional products\/services e.g. mentoring. <\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, workshops facilitators may offer the video and audio recordings from their events for purchase long after it has ended (years even!)<\/strong>. If you can\u2019t make it, there\u2019ll be a recorded version in audio or video format for you to pick up.<\/p>\n

Experts who organize webinars online offer links to recorded versions of the event.<\/em><\/p>\n

Only people who had difficulty self-tutoring will be averse to adopting such convenient and long term value adding learning resources.<\/p>\n

Some Experts Have Taken Learning Resources Provision to the Next Level<\/h3>\n

They use their experiences and observations as experts in their chosen fields, coupled with careful study of expressed interests from their target audience, to create elaborate learning resources in video, audio and print (e.g. guide books, manuals, etc). <\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, even when they do not or have not had a live event on a subject, they may have identified that great demand exists from those who wish to learn about it.<\/p>\n

Based on that they would then proactively prepare a complete package that interested persons can buy for home based study.<\/em><\/p>\n

Apart from obvious benefits to the learner, the provider also ends up better off...<\/h3>\n

This is because s\/he can then focus on marketing the complete learning package to the target audience, towards generating passive income. <\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

Getting people to attend a learning event involves a lot, and may not necessarily always yield satisfactory returns.<\/p>\n

But when you have prepared the resources that enable you sell what you would present at the live event, to anyone who asks, you effectively become capable of eating your cake and having it.<\/p>\n

For instance, Burt Dubin offers a range of learning reprocess available in various forms \u2013 audio, print manuals etc to experts who want to be speakers, and speakers who want to be masters.<\/p>\n

Some of those resources were produced based on material from live events he facilitated. Others were conceived and developed based on knowledge and experience he aimed to share in an area he identified a need for.<\/p>\n

His target audience typically find out about him from others who have purchased those resources. Others find his website via web based searches they conduct.<\/p>\n

Every buyer also has the option of signing up for Burt\u2019s mentoring under one of the different options available.<\/p>\n

Final Words: Go for the Smart Learning and\/or Selling Approach!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Some people attend expensive, lengthy training courses at big name institutions to learn how to speak, write etc.<\/p>\n

But they never seem to gain the competence to do those things competently. Especially for those who aim to make money using what they learn! <\/em><\/p>\n

Very often it\u2019s not because the person is not smart enough. Instead, the problem can<\/strong><\/em> be the manner in which the learning is provided to him\/her.<\/p>\n

Sometimes an expensive three (3) week business school course in interpersonal effectiveness, may not give you as much value as you could get from interacting with a mentor, who can distil what you need to know for you to excel.<\/h3>\n

NB: I used the word there \"distil\" deliberately. Not ALL experts who choose to become mentors KNOW HOW to \"distil\" useful information from their wealth of experiences and knowledge, to TEACH others.<\/p>\n

One person who I have found does is Burt Dubin.<\/p>\n

And that is why he has been so successful as mentor of paid international speakers.<\/p>\n

Buyers of his learning resources get to tap from his experience based wisdom, on how to adapt what they learn for use in THEIR real world. <\/strong><\/p>\n

And having access to the \u201cteacher\u201d in such a direct manner can make all the difference to the learner...IF the teacher is one who knows how to \"distil\" what needs to be learnt!<\/em><\/p>\n

So here's are 2 recommendation I make without ANY reservations: <\/strong><\/h3>\n

a. If you\u2019re looking to launch your own speaking business, Burt Dubin\u2019s range of home study learning resources<\/a> offer you the best value for your money.<\/p>\n

b.If you\u2019re an expert involved in (or planning to commence) providing learning to others, I recommend adopting Burt\u2019s approach.<\/p>\n

My confidence in recommending Burt's offerings derives from years of carefully studying every aspect of what he does, and also modeling some of my work after his...<\/p>\n

One example:<\/h3>\n

This past Saturday, I announced that I will soon begin offering for sale, my Practical Livestock Feed Formulation (and Compounding) Home Study Video Series<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n

Why? Because, even those who have ALREADY paid to attend my forthcoming workshop have indicated a major preference for such a product! <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Another reason: <\/strong><\/p>\n

I'm writing this piece from Lagos. I came in on Saturday night, to check details of a hotel accommodation towards Saturday's workshop, on behalf of a Farm CEO who paid to attend from Warri.<\/p>\n

From what I've seen trying to move around the ripple effect of the just ended 2 weeks of fuel scarcity** nuisance are still being felt out here. <\/em><\/p>\n

[NB**:<\/strong> Yes. Nigeria is just emerging from ANOTHER round of total petrol supply outage. I saw, on Facebook, a picture of a LONG queue at one fuel station last week. Add to tha the pain of close to zero power supply. Then you can understand what my Farm CEO clients are facing!]<\/em><\/p>\n

And that got me worried for those planning to travel in from outside Lagos. <\/strong>So, I resolved to create the home study video series, to save people the hassle of coming down if the need arises to consider that option!<\/p>\n

And I'll also be saving MYSELF the hassle of doing what I've now come to do in Lagos :-))) <\/strong><\/p>\n

And the best part is that by doing so, I'll effectively be adding MORE passive income generating products to my existing library of resources.<\/p>\n

You can do the same thing. <\/span><\/p>\n
