How Long Does It Take To Become A Process Consultant?

So let's jump into the first one. The first one that was commonly asked is how much time does it really take to become a systemologist? So when you start out, the core training is generally, if you allocate probably about six to eight, eight out, six to eight hours per week. And you would do that over the first three months. So there's a three month core training that we go through together. I'll lead that one. We'll meet every week at the same time and we'll meet on a zoom. Usually a small group, anywhere from sort of 10 to 15 is where we like our sweet spot. And that way we can work quite closely. The training itself, you'll. In between the live calls that we do, the live calls are more about answering questions and doing live hot seats and not as much teaching happens there. A lot of the teaching is delivered through the portal. So we've got a little academy where you'll, you'll learn everything inside the academy and then you'll also. So you'll be learning in between those live calls, you'll have the live calls themselves. They go for about 90 minutes. You also get paired up with a buddy, so someone else in your cohort where you'll meet with them and you'll practice doing the critical client flow and doing test extractions and things like that. And then you share that into the community. We've got a private community where your cohort have a little area and you can post and share and things like that inside there. And then beyond that, like after you get through the core training, which is those first three months, then you know, there's AMA calls, there's expert calls, there's, you know, we're running little internships. We're doing a sales internship at the moment where you can get fed leads from head office. And we've got little programs and little calls that pop up and things like that. So after you get over that three months, you know, there's probably, you still want to be allocating a bit of time being a, you know, a continual learner. But the heavy lifting really happens in the three months up front. I know, Rob, you were eat, eating, sleeping, dreaming, systemology through that three month period. Is there anything else you want to add? Is that a realistic timeline or did you go more than that? How much time did you tip in?

I think like anyone else, I printed out every single workbook, every single thing that had a PDF attachment to it. I just printed out and laid in bed at night and read through it and said, I just have to get it. And yeah, it was confusing and it was overwhelming. And yet after three months I still felt like, okay, what do I do now? Like, what's the next step? How do I turn this into something that's going to be profitable? How do I turn this into a business? And it just, the three months is the perfect amount of time to get your head completely absorbed of the information. It then took me another two to three months to just review. And as I said, I listened to the audiobook multiple times. I read the book a couple of times just during that thing, just to pick up those little pieces that. Because right now it's like, as Dave likes to say, it's like trying to drink water through a fire hose. It's just so much information that it's hard to take and it's a little bit overwhelming. And my wife went through the, the, the, the systemology training last year or actually beginning of this year and she was the same at the end of every session she's like, it's just so much information. But now she understands the language, she understands how the process works. And because if your system's thinking and you're actually very organized person, this is the perfect way to learn because it's three months of full on information and then two to three months of you absorbing and just rereading and going, oh. And the pieces start clicking in and start making sense. So the timing is actually spot on.
