Naomi Dunford’s Online Busines School has now officially been open for a week. If you are a student, you most liekly have listened to at least one section thus far.
To help you succeed, we’ll be gathering here to share tips, ask questions, and just gab about the courses. I think Naomi is planning a forum section at some time, so if that opens, we’ll move the party to Itty Biz.
The first tip I have for OBS students has to do with tried and true study tactics. If you can’t recall the information from OBS when it comes time to put it into practice, well, what’s the point?
Study Tactics to Improve Your Recall
I’ve been in school a long, long time. I have two degrees and am working on my third. I’ve picked up a few habits along the way that cut down on my study time and greatly improved my recall, and am willing to share my brain and my cookies. (Chocoalate chip is the flavor of the day, we’ll have ones with sprinkles next week for Dave.)
These habits can help you succeed with OBS if you apply them. They do you no good if you read them and leave them looking pretty on the screen. Give it a try, you’ll be amazed.
Know your learning style. Most people are visual learners. This means you retain more information by reading or watching a video. Fewer people are auditory learners. They learn best by hearing the spoken word. Most of us have adapted enough to use a combination of styles, but knowing your strengths will help you get the most from the course. Naomi and Jamie provide recordings, PDF transcripts for reading, and tutorial videos to meet everyone’s learning needs. Focus the majority of your time on the media that suits your individual learning style.
If you have an iPod, put it to use. The audio files are in MP3 format so they will transfer with a sync. Listen to the files in the car, while you exercise, while you sleep. Listen over and over until you can hear Naomi’s voice telling you, “You can do this. I’m handing you the freakin’ tools, go build your dreams.”
Read, rinse, repeat. The next tip for improving recall comes from John MacArthur. (You don’t have to be a Bible scholar, a MacArthur fan, or even a Christian to use this one. No worries.) Mr. MacArther tells his students to read one book of the Bible from begining to end, in one sitting, everyday for 30 days. This creates a visual imprint of the written words on your brain. At the end of 30 days, you will know that material forward and backward, inside and out because you can picture the words in your head. Do this with the Online Business School transcripts.
Give these a try and stop back or email me if you you find something that works for you that you want to share.
Next up is a tip for all current and potential business owners that comes from one of the greatest building projects ever undertaken.
