In which the question is asked:
Do you have any tricks to increase your attention going through [the course you are learning from] the third, fourth, fifth time etc. Or do you just let it wash over and see what jumps out?
I find it incredibly difficult to focus after the first run because my brain says “you know this”. It’s one reason I liked Clientless copywriter so much, it’s a lot of overlap with Elbenbo press and other trainings but different enough that it was easy to focus. I got a lot out of that one because it was like doing another pass over familiar material.
It’s a good question and I don’t know I’ve ever written about it before.
He was asking specifically about our Low Stress Trading program so I will use that as the example. I knew nothing about trading or even what an “option” was before going through it. In fact, I spent a year or so selling it without even cracking the course open.
But when I did, I went through it over and over and over.
Ten or more times easily.
And I still go through it as I want to master it, not just “learn” it.
So at this point, it’s quite eclectic now.
I might listen to one of the bonus calls on rolling several times on walks or in the shower. Then get the bug to go through the Thinkorswim platform videos, then switch to the candlesticks video (still a mystery to me), then one of Troy’s “walk and talk” videos about managing covered calls, then leave the main training and re-listen to his “30 in 30” training (which, btw, is the holy grail for entrepreneurs who want to work literally only 5-10 minutes per month and probably even retire early if/when you get a big enough account…) for several passes… then go through other training that is relevant to me at the time.
Each time a new insight emerges and seeps deeper into my psychology.
If I get bored, or if my mind starts wandering, I switch to something else.
Anyway, that’s how I revisit info 10, 20, 50 times without going batty.
And you know what?
It’s worked out pretty good so far…
