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.

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.

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?

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.
