Out of all the gurus in the world John Maxwell is one of the most respected. He is a man that came from a modest background. He grew up and transformed through the art of personal development. Thru the years he is he has become one of the most sought-out thought and Leadership experts in the world! He has written over 90 books and has consulted with 21 Presidents.
I had the utmost honor and privilege of being able to spend some time with him. One of my biggest take aways was discovering how he learns and applies things in his life.
Learning is so very important. But if you learn and don’t apply things in your life then the learning is almost pointless. There’s a saying which I heard years ago and I absolutely loved!
“To Know and Not to Do, Is Not to Truly Know”- Stephen Covey
So I have a big golden nugget for you today! Here is the Secret John Maxwell way for learning! The next time you go to an event… go through an online course… or read a good book. Learn to take notes! And you probably already are doing that, but here’s what John Maxwell does through that process…
I believe that your notes are like gold! In fact they’re actually more valuable than gold! They can compound the interest of what you’ve learned in your life and pay you dividends over the years to come. While you’re taking notes you want to establish how you’re going to apply these things in your life.
The A.C.T. Principle
He has what I would like to call the “ACT Principle”. When he goes through and he’s taking notes for something he will drop down these things in the margins.
“A” is for Action. If he sees something that he needs to get into action with, he will put an “A” there as a reminder to come back review it. So he can get into action on that topic.
“C” is for Change. If he hears something and he knows that he needs to use this knowledge and information to change something in his life. Then he will put a “C” for change.
“T” is for teaching others. Often times we hear something that is so good, so profound, that it just can’t be left untold. When he finds something that he should teach and share with others, he puts a “T” in the margin.
After the event, experience, or learning the material. He will spend some time to go back and review his notes. This process is extremely important because you can take all the notes you want, but until you actually go back and review how you will apply them your life, they are of little value. So reviewing is highly important!
Upon reviewing you can simply look in the margins and see the A’s, C’s, and T’s and how you can use them in your life. Now you that you have this valuable insight be sure to put it in to ACTION!
When you do, the things that you learn from books, CDs, YouTube videos, events and anything else that you might be learning from can be applied at a greater level in your life. Then things will start compounding in your life, growing who you are as a person, and surely the amount of value in your bank account!
