The huge advantage behind, Relisten, Rewatch, and Reread.

Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

I have two friends here, given giving you the idea of, there are certain ideas that we can't learn enough of, these are two books that I go back to, and I'm not a good reader.

I enjoy reading, but I'm not very fast at it and I have a difficult time keeping attention on things. But these are two that I can always go back to this one's called.

It's corny I know, but this is how to win friends and influence people. Very corny, written in a slightly older language.

I mean, the book is nearly 100 years old.

This is also an oldie but a goodie, how I raised myself for value failure to success in selling Frank Betcher, Dale Carnegie, two amazing books that the titles and everything would not really give you an idea of what you can get out of them.

These are two I go back to, and I haven't been going back to them as often. But there are two that I love so much that I do like returning back to them.

What I found, here's a quick tip for you, which I've had brought up before. But I don't always take my own advice right off the bat, oftentimes I need to hear it a couple of times.

So the advice is that if you have a really good book that you've read, read at once with your eyeballs, at least, and then go and get the audio version of it. And then just hold it, hold it on your phone, or download on your phone every once in a while and listen to it, I just recently got the audio versions of both of these and have been listening to it and have gotten so much out of it.

Just having it play in the background is such a huge, huge advantage. And there's a huge advantage to revisiting things that take you in the right direction, just say it that way.

So I was just recently, relisting, got something that's gonna fall right behind the camera, so I had to readjust it, there's a huge advantage be it, I was really listening to a speech that a mentor of mine, his name is Joe. And he was discussing this concept, how he's basically picked the same, I think he said three books, and has read a little of each one for the past three or four years, something like that.

And that he has gotten so much more out of that than trying to just run and read as many books as quickly as they can.

Because that's one of the things you fall into when you get back into reading. And most people don't.

But if you ever do get back into reading, people get into this idea that what I need to do is cram as many different books in my head and go through books as quickly as possible, and just glean everything I can and then run to the next one.

Whereas if you have a couple of books that are really solid, you ought to reread them and if you're not good at rereading them, you ought to relisten to them. Because you're going to get the information in again anyway, somehow find a way to get it back in there and to keep it recirculating.

Because good ideas don't go out of style. If it's a principle, it's going to last. And it doesn't matter whether it's a book, or whether it's a speech or something else that they get you going that is just something you listen to or whether it's something you watch, there's so much good stuff on.

There's a lot of crap, but there's a whole bunch of good stuff on YouTube and other places....
