This is Podcast 102 and it’s about using information. Are you good at gathering information? You are more likely to retain information if you take notes, especially if you do it by hand. If we wait another 24 hours before reviewing the information, we have lost 60%. The magic bullet is to USE that information. Much information you absorb is more abstract, for example, what you learn from listening to this podcast. by Subscribe: iTunes ? Stitcher ?

Information overload is a problem. It causes wasted time, makes it difficult to make important decisions, and contributes to the spread of bad information. You have access now to a 24 hour per day, 7 day per week, nonstop barrage of information on a limitless variety of subject matter. This means that it is your job to filter the information that you allow to come to us via your feeds, and prioritize and organize the information you do choose to receive.

Your business can only move forward and survive in this information age when you have clients and make profit. Creating content is such a herculean task. Not exactly for every entrepreneur, but definitely for some. The thought of sitting at your computer to put word after word down onto a blank page is sometimes nerve-racking. You know you need to do this, but the question is “how?” and probably, “why?”

I wrote the other day about Timothy Ferriss’s “ low information diet.” His decisions were now all based on what the Bible said (a minimal information diet). This works best if you realize up front that you will never have all the information you need to make the “perfect” decision anyway. So, why not limit information yourself, with criteria you choose? It’s hard not to fall down that information rabbit hole.

With a constant barrage of information today, it’s easy to get caught up in it all and forget how valuable our time is. If you receive your news through RSS feeds or have numerous websites bookmared to stay on top of things, take a moment to go take a look at these sources of information. Now ask yourself if you enjoy and find value in each of those sources of news and information. Audit your information intake to free up some more spare time to yourself.

20 years ago, if you wanted to go from point A to point B, you had to rely much more on action, than on information. Information, on the other side, was very expensive. Most of the time, information was confined within thick walls, like libraries or laboratories. Because the information had a very slow propagation speed. All very, very slow in spreading information. Information is everywhere, but the ability to act on it it’s almost a dream.

Do you ever stop to wonder how rich people made their money? Are they smarter than you? Did they just work harder or smarter? Or did they have a lucky break or some sort of advantage that let them reach their goals easily. Worrying about all these questions is not a good thing to do if you want to create your own business.
