Learning Is Best When Taken One Bite At A Time
What’s the best way to eat an elephant?
As the old joke would have it…one bite at a time!
A couple of Video Business Advisor members have asked me the best way to get through the online Video Business Marketing Course.
Just as simple a solution as the elephant joke.
Start at the beginning and work your way to the very end.
Going through the whole enchilada may seem like overdoing it; after all, you may have a great logo, you may already know the value of marketing, you may have already set your goals for the next five years and you may already know who your best client types are and know how to reach them…
…but a little refresher course never hurt anyone. In fact, since we learn by repetition, it can help a lot.
Because not everyone learns things the same way, we present the same material in a several formats; video/audio, audio only, and in print. That way, you can use the learning method or methods that work the best for you personally. I like a combo of all the formats, myself. I listen to audios while working out, walking or just relaxin’ in the hot tub. I watch videos during what I call the Educational Hour -that’s 9 to 10 am every weekday. And I read voraciously so I print out online lessons to go over and mark up when I settle in for the “evening read.”

Today, I’m posting the second of two lessons about importance of corporate identity. I’m also uploading a couple of evaluation forms that you can use to ensure that your video business identity makes the grade.
We’ve come a long way with our online video business training course in a very short time, but there’s lots more to come.

You’re so right Steve. In a former life when I was a teacher I used to get the kids to chant out the reasoning behind revision: ‘Learn and forget. RE-learn and REmember’ and it’s still totally true.
Then of course there’s another factor to consider. The next time you revisit some training material you may be at a different point with your business and a little nugget that had no value for you before (or a concept which you didn’t grasp first time round) ‘turns a light on’ and gives you another avenue to follow … or … worse case scenario, you just plain forget!
