Getting the Basics Right in the Process of Continual Learning

Following on from getting processes in place Gordon explores how learning in the right way, the way that works for you is a vital part of being able to continually improve. It’s important to not only recognise that everyone has a preferred learning style but also to understand what yours is, what is the right learning style for you, what is the mechanism that best supports your learning? When you understand your learning style set yourself up for success by learning the basics of anything new first because with strong foundations you will be able to successfully move forward on your journey.   KEY TAKEAWAYS How do you continually improve your processes – you learn new things. To achieve continual progress, you have to be continually learning. Make sure you know specifically what you want to learn. Focus in on a niche area, narrowing down what you are learning will increase your chances of success. People learn in different ways and as you learn more you understand how you most effectively learn. Make sure you use a learning mechanism that works for you. How many times in life do we try and do the advanced before we have learnt the basics? It can be easy to set yourself up to fail if you attempt the advanced level before you have learnt and mastered the basics. Set yourself up for success by starting with the basics and creating a good foundation for further learning. You have to learn the basics first to be able to move along on your journey successfully.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I’ve enjoyed learning much more since I’ve been able to pick my teachers and mechanisms for learning and retaining information’ ‘We see others and try to learn in the same way but this isn’t going to work because we don’t have the right foundations in place’ ‘It’s always great to be learning new things’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Life, Living It and Loving It podcast    ABOUT THE HOST     Welcome to the life, living it and loving it podcast with Extreme Execution Coach Gordon Done.    We don’t know about you, but we’re fed up of burning ourselves out and living in a state of survival.
