This is probably the most important phase of building a dropshipping business.  If you don't get this right, you are setting yourself up for failure.

Over the past week I started learning about dropshipping... from the basics of what it truly is to marketing.

I'm using 2-3 resources to learn about dropshipping and will apply what I learn to launch a new dropshipping business with no money invested.

I'm recording again and there has been a lot that's happened in the past year.  Let's catch up.

I took another speed reading test and using the SQ3R, pre-reading, and visual marker strategy; I was able to read a little faster than last time.  I scored 173 wpm, still slow for many people; but it's an improvement for me and I was able to recall way more information with much more detail.

I go over some of the memory enhancement lessons in the speed reading course where they teach things like chunking, visual markers, memory palaces, and the major system for remembering numbers.

After this, I can go on to the speed reading portion of the course with pre-reading and preparation.

I started the speed reading course this weekend and took the reading exercise to record my baseline and start working on some memory exercises.

I reveal what my reading speed is and what the first memory exercise is.

Today was a treat as my career and experience helped to validate my worth and that was translated in an opportunity that was presented.

10,000 hours is what it takes to master a skill.  That's 40 hours per week, 50 weeks a year, for 5 years.  That's how long you should be investing into your skillset to become the person that people want to work with.

Today I met with my friend, Adam Ulery; the host of the Tech Guys Who Invest podcast.  We spoke about some real estate deals and also spoke about podcasting and some ideas I had going forward with podcasting.

I also recap the speed reading challenge and an issue I ran into and quickly resolved for less than the original solution.

I was presented a new opportunity to stretch my development skills with a team that is disrupting the healthcare industry and I'm pretty excited about what they're doing.

The other thing I talk about is a challenge for February where we will end the month capable of reading more books than the average person.
