Most people read books just to pass time and to entertain themselves. If you are watching my channel I assume you want to get more out of it. You want to create a business, improve your life, travel the world, do cool stuff. I would highly recommend you not just to read the book, but to get something out of the book and to implement it.

Otherwise we just entertain ourselves and spend time. Of course this is acceptable. However, I prefer to spend my time improving myself and improving my knowledge and then implementing it in the real world to get results.

Here is the breakdown of how to do it.

Some people read books by just looking at the letters and write stuff down. They read visually. I used to be like that.

However, I trained myself to not just learn visually, but also learn through my ears. This is not something that came naturally to me. I was always bad at listening to teachers and naturally I learn much better through touching, doing and looking.

However, through years of repetition I was able to develop my ability to listen to the point where I can listen to a book that is being read to me at a very high speed and still retain the information and still be able to know what is in the book.

How do you do all that? I have two tools that I use:

1 – If you can get the book in .mp3 format, then you download the book and play it VLC player. VLC player has an option for 2x, 3x and so on speed. VLC player can read your book at whatever speed you want.

You start by playing it in 1x, 1.5x, 2x and you keep enhancing it, you can go as far as 4x speed. This is super fast and you can read the book in an hour or two.

2 – You can use Acrobat Reader from Adobe. It requires you to have the book in .pdf format. You use the same method to get the book. You get the book, you load it in Acrobat Reader and then you find the option where you can play the audio at 2x, 2.5x, 3x and so on. Also, you can listen to it at 300/400 words per minute.

That way you can read the book almost instantly.

How you make sure that you actually retain the information and you will be able to use it later on?

You need to listen to it, but also you have to write the key points from the book in your notes and just reread them later on.

I do not read random books. I do not read a book that is not going to help me. I even do not read some books that are going to help me. When I read the summary of the book and if I find out that the book is not going to help me, I do not even going to read the book.

I only read the books that I think are going to be valuable to me based on the summary. Then I improve my reading speed and listening speed and then I make sure that I retain as much information by taking some notes.

Here are the 3 habits of highly successful people that you can copy quite easily to improve your life.

Where do we learn habits? How we learn and how we learn to learn?

The way we learn to learn is in school. We learn from our first teachers. We also learn how to learn from intuition.

These methods are not optimized and they are not based on science. They are not based on what works the best in general for learning.

I am going to go through a few ideas that work better than what we are being told at school and what we experience from intuition. There are much more optimized methods that allow us to learn habits better.

Bad and good habits in terms of learning:

1 – We are taught to stay in one spot, blocked up in a room, and to learn new information. That actually is less effective than if you move around. You can learn at home, at school, you can learn from books, you can learn while travelling and talking to new people, you can learn from mentors and in multiple locations all over the world.

If you look at really successful people, they have travelled many countries and they have done many cool things. That way they have perspective on things that is not just out of that small community where they came from.

Most people have had that experience of travelling and learning from different perspectives from different parts of the world and different types of methods of learning.

2 – We are taught that we should focus on one subject at a time. If you focus on one subject too much, for example, if you learn sales, you do learn sales. However, you do not learn how to develop your own sales techniques.

For example, you learn sales, but you do not learn psychology, you do not learn advanced persuasion. You do not learn things that are related to sales. What happens is that you do not have a deep understanding of the subject matter. You only learn sales. You are focused on that very narrow path.

If you are really serious about mastering sales, you need to learn the subject that is related to it and get a broader and deeper understanding. That way you will be able to put different pieces together and develop your skills to a deeper and better level than your competition.

3 – Another thing is that we are taught to learn everything right before the exams. We do not remember things for as long as if you develop it into a habit of studying for the rest of your life. Just develop it every day. Keep developing your skills by implementation, by reading, by learning from mentors and you will remember things for much longer.

That way you are on your path to mastery, as opposed to cramming it in just to pass an exam.

Cramming it in = short term memory. Spreading it out and making it into a habit of learning = life time mastery. That is what really comes down to.

I remember in January everyone was setting up ridiculously high goals, which I encourage you to do. But, when January 10th came people stared giving up. A lot of people are kind of bitter and they did not implement early on, so now they gave up.

Really successful people do not care about seasons. They do not care about setting the goals early in the year. They care about implementing and ignoring everything. Forget the months, the years, the decades. Just keep implementing, maintain the habit and commit to life-long learning maintaining life-long habits.

Here's how to use framing in marketing and sales to great effect. Increase prices, create a relationship and use emotional sales techniques, all with the power of framing.

“Want to connect on facebook? Add me on Facebook:

Framing is a very powerful marketing and sales technique that you can use to improve your marketing sales. This technique is known for many years. It has been used in advertisements for many decades.

Framing means that what you hear is not the same for everyone. It is not about what you hear, but how it is explained.

In a scientific study participants were asked how fast a car is traveling. First they said that the car is driving down the street. Then they said that the car is racing down the street. Actually this car is doing the same thing, but because it is said differently some of the people think that the car is moving much faster.

That example explains framing in the simplest way. You can say something differently. It means the same thing, but for different people it means something else.

A car racing can be 120 miles an hour according to me, but for someone else can be 150 miles an hour.

When someone is buying something from you, then you are selling something. They are initially focused on the price and what are they going to get. You tell them that they have to pay $10 for a phone. But, if you use framing you can get a lot more money for the same phone. You need to know what the phone means to them.

Here is an example of how framing is used in sales. Good sales people will avoid certain words in their sales process and in their sales script. For example, they will avoid words like: “cost, expense, pay”. They use the term “invest”. The buyer still pays money and it still costs money, but if you frame it as an investment, that means that you are investing something and they will get more value out of it than you put in. That way you reframe the transaction as if it is in favor of the buyer.

We are emotional decisions and we do not make logical decisions when we are buying, even though a lot of people like to believe they are. But, if you have been in sales long enough, you will know that people are not logical creatures. We make emotional decisions.

If you reframe things and make it into something emotional, that is a second technique in framing that Is very commonly used.

Instead of talking about the logical reasons for buying and all the benefits and features, what you can focus on is what it means to the person in their life and how they feel to own an item.

This is not just a transaction, this is something that can change your life and feel in a certain way. How much value people contribute to that? It is priceless.

Another example of framing is when you get someone to sign a contract. That way you can convince him that he is committing to all these things. It sounds very scary, but if you put that paper under his nose, then you are reframing things and it is not that scary. The less fear you trigger in people in a sales process, the more likely they are to buy.

These are techniques that have been used for many decades.

What are some of your examples? How have you used framing in your business? How have you seen being used it in marketing in the past? Let me know in the comments below.

You've probably never heard of method number 2. Here's my top 3 current ways to get passive income.

“Want to connect on facebook? Add me on Facebook:

http://www.facebook.com/aleksander.vitkin

What is passive income?

Passive income is if you invest money or time and you build something that generates you gradual recurring income that does not require you to invest a lot of time and money in the future.

Ways to generate passive income:

1 – Investments. If you go and look at S & B 500, the average return in investment yearly is 11%. That is a very high percent. If you invest $10 000, a year later you will have 11% more. There are theories for downturns, but on average in the last 15 years it has been going up very steadily.

That is a form of passive income that almost anyone can play with. Even if you make just a little bit of money, 11% a year is a lot.

2 – There is a website www.themeforest.com. You do not necessarily talk to clients and get sales on the phone like I recommend. You can create a Wordpress template and you put it on that website and it starts getting sales. If it is $50 and you can get 1000 sales per year. This is actually a lot of money, considering that you really do not have to do much of anything.

Once your template is getting ranked and you start getting sales you will make passive income. If you are a web designer and you do not want to deal with clients, that is a good solution for you.

Initially it is a lot of work. However, after a while it is as passive as you can get.

3 – Lend money. Most people borrow money. If you are the person, who is lending the money instead of borrowing it, this is a very profitable way to go. I recommend you use a third party to lend the money.

With lending money you are able to generate a good percentage back on top of the money that you are going to get. If you lend to right people, if they have a job and family and they are highly motivated to pay you back, you can make a lot of money with that.

4 – Become an actual entrepreneur. Someone, who takes risks. Takes something and then sells it in profit. There are many methods to become an entrepreneur. You need to have three things:

a) You need to have a way to get people on a call, or a way to get leads

b) You need to have a way to sell to them, so that you can get sales

c) You need to sell them what they are looking for – a product or a service

If you have these three thing and you are good enough at sales or copywriting or marketing, then you are able to make it into a business.

If you go to entrepreneur route, in the beginning it is very hard. But eventually you are able to leverage that by hiring and automating your business and at that point it can become passive income.

Chasing the passive income is not like to bring you a lot of passive income. It is better for you if you develop skills to a high level and get paid a lot of money by companies and people for you skills. You can leverage the money that you are earning for your business and selling your services and build an actual empire.
