The Unemployed Millionaire Show: Episode 11

I finished my 2nd book on social media – ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income by Darren Rose and Chris Garrett! Check out my video review below and find out what strategies I use to get the most out of every book I read…

By re-writing the information I find in non-fiction books, I’m able to retain the information a lot more. You can do the same exact thing by following my Book Report Strategy. Here’s a quick overview:

Part 1: Write the title of the book you’re reading at the top of the page which helps keep your book reports journal organized.

Part 2: Create a list of To-do’s – things you get from the book that you want to take action on and implement in your business. To-do lists will provide a tremendous increase in productivity  which will allow your business to breakthrough to the next level rapidly.

Part 3: Develop a list of resources. What information are you going to revisit after reading the book to take the knowledge you gain up a notch?

Part 4: Book notes! Write down the facts and new nuggets of knowledge that you gain from every book you read and you’ll see a tremendous increase in how much you retain from reading.

What strategies are you using to retain new information you gain from reading? I’d love to discuss it with you in the comments section!

As for my review of ProBlogger, I can sum it up in one word – WOW! This book is filled with tons of great information that every blogger and anyone who is interested in creating a blog absolutely needs to read.

Darren and Chris explain everything from creating your blog to how to generate a significant income from blogging and everything in between.

    Hi Matt

    Thanks for these great resources all your video blogs are very helpful. I’m planning to use blogging as one method of developing our UK business from Australia when we move there in Sept 2010.

    As for retaining information from reading. I still use the old classic of explaining the key concepts to as many other people who would find it helpful as I can. I find that after 3 or 4 the information is logged in my long term memory. A true win win.

    Take care
    Jem
