So far we’ve talked about motivating strategies. Today we’re going to cover two more areas of self-awareness that are equally important.

Combined with your motivating strategies, these two areas will give you…

And what’s really amazing about what I’m showing you, is that you don’t have to learn anything new. You’re simply understanding and leveraging who you are already!

So we’ve got a lot more to cover. But before we dive in, I wanted to make sure you check out the “resources” section at the bottom. I’m looking to add some serious talent here at Strategic Profits and if you think you’ve got what it takes, be sure to check out the ad.

OK. Enough warm up. Let’s dive in.

Two More Strategies To Explode Your Performance

By Rich Schefren

OK, So far we’ve talked about different motivation strategies. You’ve evaluated yourself and determined whether you primarily use moving “toward” or “away” as a motivating factor. We also examined whether you use internal or external cues for motivation. You’ve stopped to consider whether you’re driven out of “necessity” or “what’s possible.” And you’ve also had some time to sit and think about “what turns you on.”

So right now, you’ve got some pretty important insight into yourself that you can use when making any plans. Understandings that will help you get what you want faster and more easily than you may have been able to in the past.

But let’s not stop there, because there are other strategic things you should know to help you achieve your goals more efficiently.

Learning at the Speed of Light

What about your learning strategy? First off, are you a reader or listener? Which do you tend to do more as far as when you’re learning something new? Do you tend to read a lot or do you tend to listen a lot or watch a lot?

Here’s an important point. When I ask people individually how do you learn best; most people have an easy answer for me. However, when I ask them if they act on that information, do they actually consider that and leverage it when they go about learning something – very few people actually answered yes.

And yet acting on your knowledge of how you best learn is the key to growing your performance, to getting better and learning faster. Not acting on this knowledge condemns to inefficient learning and therefore, condemns you to suboptimal performance or non-performance.

So what is the best way that you learn and are you leveraging that way? It could be by reading. It could be by thinking about and writing about what you’ve just discovered. It could be about watching videos. It could be about talking about what you’ve learned with friends. It could be a lot of things, but the point is that you need to know how you best learn.

If you know how you get motivated and you start actually using that to increase your motivation. And you know how you learn and you start leveraging that so you can learn faster, I think you can kind of see where this is going. Ultimately your performance will be so much better than it is right now because you’ve brought some consciousness to who you are; how you do the things you do; and how you could perform at your best.

Work Preferences

Another area is your work preferences. There are too many topics to discuss here, so I won’t go too in depth. But, let’s take one easy example.

Do you work best alone or with others? If you do work better with others, what kind of relationship does it usually take? Is it with friends? Is it with people who are subordinates? Is it with a boss telling you what to do? (I hope not if you’re going to be a successful entrepreneur.)

How do you work best? Do you work best in the morning or the evening? Do you work best working on one project for the entire day or working on several different projects at the same time or throughout the day? Do you work best at your desk or in different environments? Do you perform better under stress? Or, do you do better with a highly structured, predictable environment?

Personally, I tend to work best in different environments so I’m always moving around. A while back, someone was asking me how I dealt with ADD as far as multitasking. I told them when I start feeling bored and get the need to start working on something else; rather than dropping what I’m working on and starting something else, I take what I was working on and I go to a different environment. So if I’m working on something and I’m at the beach and I’m starting to get antsy, then I’ll go to the cigar bar or I’ll go to my office. Once I get antsy there, I’ll go to Starbucks. I’ll just move around.

But it’s not important what I do. It’s important what you do that works best. Maybe you’ve never thought about these things. So you don’t know the answers to these questions right now. That’s completely okay. But now that you’re aware these are things you should know, you can start actually thinking through your motivation strategy; your learning strategy; how you do work strategy.

Do you see how knowing these things can make such a huge difference in your level of performance? When you do, you can adjust your work in a way that really leverages the best out of you!

The Way I Stay on Top of These Kinds of Things

That’s one of the reasons I love writing in my journal. Because a lot of questions like these get answered. Not always in a premeditated way, but just by sharing experiences in my journal. I see the patterns over time like “oh, the last six times I really learned something quicker than I thought. It was because I did X, Y and Z in all of those cases.” Obviously X, Y and Z would be something very useful for me to consistently do whenever I’m learning something new.

So, that’ll wrap up this brief topic. I’ll leave you with this…

How well do you know yourself? And based on that, are you leveraging who you are to get all that you want? If not, are you willing to be introspective to reflect, to think through, and ultimately bring more consciousness to who you are, how you best work and what gets you going and how you learn best?

I believe that the rewards for knowing this far, far outweigh the time it takes or the energy that you expand to learn these things about yourself.

If you really want to perform at a high level, then it’s not a “nice” thing to do; it’s an absolutely essential thing to do.

1. Decide whether you have a 1-step or multi-step sale to make
2. If multi-step, recognize you are advertising to generate leads (and do nothing else
   that takes away space, time, attention, etc. from that task)
3. Feature your free offer up top and early – don’t hide it (Example Of Headline:
   EXCITING FREE ONLINE COURSE TAKES YOU ON A TREASURED MEMORY EXPEDITION ON THE WORLD’S
   BEST AND LARGEST MEMORY PRESERVATION WEBSITE - AT HOME IN YOUR PJ’s!)
4. Make the free offer as exciting and valuable as possible. (If only slightly re-working
   this ad, I’d make a point that the photos are from the online course. I’d make sure to show one photo of
   the course, material sample, DVD, etc.)
5. Give multiple ways to respond, emphasizing the one that’s best for you. (Website,
   phone, maybe mail-in coupon). Whether or not to try pushing most to the web site
   is still open to debate: good news: gets you 100% e-mail capture for lots of zero
   cost follow-up. Bad news: you need a separate, different web site just for this
   purpose, and you delay response – vs. the phone, always handy.
