Catherine (Cathy) Bell of Titan Impact Group explains a practical method to convert learning from courses and books into actionable results: record ‘to do’ items on the first page of your notebook while studying, transfer them to your calendar the next day, and follow through. She emphasizes action over passive consumption ("knowing is the booby prize") and urges scheduling and completion of tasks to maximize the impact of self-education.

Hey, everyone, this is Cathy with Titan Impact Group, and I'm here to talk to you about self education. Self education can absolutely make you a fortune, but what does it take? So I always tell my kids, I don't care what you know, I only care what you do. And so one of the skills that I have really mastered is anytime I take a course, the very first page of my notebook that I have, I put to do on there. And as I'm going through the course, if it's several days or weeks or whatever, I anytime there's something that captures me, there's a to do, I flip back to that very first page and I write the to do down. And then I go back to my notes and keep writing my notes. And then what happens is the very next day after the course, I open up that to do page and there it is summarized exactly my steps and my action items that I absolutely need to get done. And so then I take those action items, I get it into my calendar, I schedule it, and then I make sure that I follow through and get every piece done. This is how I squeeze every ounce of knowledge and wisdom and how to's out of every course and every book that I've ever read. And it's been a lot. So rather than being a seminar junkie, as we say, just going from seminar to seminar to seminar and not actually doing anything with what you're learning. Because again, knowing is the booby prize. We don't care what you know, we only care what you do. That's what matters. I invite you to consider the next course or next book that you read, you started to do page and you as you go through it, get those done, get them scheduled and follow through and get your tasks complete. I promise you it'll make a world of difference inside of the impact that that book or that course has on your life. So this is Kathryn Bell, Titan Impact Group.
