Memoryinamonth.com | Memory Expert Ron White's Ezine

Well, it seems like its been a while since we last sent out my Ezine. So, "Welcome" to my new subscribers and "Hello again" to my regulars! If you are anything like me, the month of January flew by, and February is running right on January's heels just as quickly. These first couple of months of the New Year have been filled with numerous speaking engagements scattered throughout the country. But I have to say that I am really looking forward to the month of March, not only because of lots of new companies to speak for, but also because I am doing my favorite seminar -- my Intensive 2-Day Memory Workshop. If you could take only one seminar this year, this is the one you need to choose. Why, you ask? Because it will give you the firm foundation to remember EVERY OTHER seminar, training or class that you will take for the rest of this year or even your life! "Wow, powerful words, Ron", I can hear you saying. But I ASSURE you this is the truth. I'll teach you memory techniques that you can apply right away and use to retain the information you need and access it when you need it! Take a minute to review the information I've provided in this Ezine on my workshop and come join me! I'll look forward to seeing YOU in March!

Go for more this week!

1. Gradual Adaptation by Ron White

The older I get the more I notice that my metabolism seems to be moving slower than most glaciers. I was watching a turtle the other day make its way across the grass and I could have sworn that I heard my metabolism say, "Hey turtle, slow down… what is your hurry?"

It has become a monumental struggle to maintain the weight I prefer. Other than eating the right foods, I have become a runner. That is right – a runner. It is the last thing I thought you would ever hear me say. A few years ago, it would have been more likely that I join a Polish circus as a fire juggler. Yet, here I am a runner.

A concept that running has taught me is the one of 'gradual adaptation'. When I started running 1 and a half miles seemed unfathomable. As I lumbered around the track that first jog, it felt as if my eyes were rolling back in my head. I could feel my lunch making its way to resurface and my lungs gasped to grab all the oxygen in my time zone.

Now, today as I glide past the 1.5 mile mark I haven't even gotten warmed up. What made the change? Gradual adaptation.

When I first started, a fellow runner suggested that I run for twenty minutes at a slow pace. He convinced me that it was the duration and not the intensity that was important. I soon reported back to him that I was able to run twenty minutes with great ease at 6.3 mph. 'Super!' he replied. 'Next time you run – run for 25 minutes' was his continued suggestion.

In my mind, he might as well told me to sprout wings and fly. Yet, I nodded my head and told him I would give it a try. To my amazement the extra five minutes came easy. Within a few weeks, I was running 30 minutes, then 35, then 40, then 45 and then 60 consecutive minutes!

If I had started at 60 minutes, I would have most likely been wheeled to the hospital afterwards and never ran again. Instead, I chose the option of gradual adaptation.

Whether your goal is running, building a business or learning a new skill the concept of gradual adaptation is one that you must implement to be successful.

Don't attempt to change the world in a day. Brian Buffini says that most people over estimate what they can accomplish in a year (this is because they don't practice gradual adaptation) and underestimate what they can accomplish in a decade.

How to implement gradual adaptation:

Decide what your ultimate goal is.

Understand this will also be a lesson in patience and do not rush the end result.

Establish stages or levels of the larger goal.

Focus on the next stage, not the end result.

Remind yourself of the end result to maintain excitement and passion while still focusing on the next stage.

Measure your progress with a chart.

Realize that your results in any endeavor will be slow at first but as you gain momentum the results expand exponentially. This is why most overestimate their accomplishments for a year and under-estimate the possible accomplishments of a decade.

This six step process will work if you are building a business, a workout routine or learning a new skill. Remember that no one ever ran a marathon the first time out of the blocks and neither will you.

Practice gradual adaptation.

2. Quotes of The Week

The Slight Edge

"Plan your progress carefully; hour-by hour, day-by-day, month-by-month. Organized activity and maintained enthusiasm are the wellsprings of your power." -- Paul J. Meyer

"Develop the winning edge; small differences in your performance can lead to large differences in your results." -- Brian Tracy

"Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgment, repeated every day." -- Jim Rohn

"Everyday do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow." -- Doug Firebaugh

"Progress, however, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great results cannot be achieved at once; and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step." -- Samuel Smiles

"There is no sudden leap to greatness. Your success lies in doing, day by day. Your upward reach comes from working well and carefully." -- Max Steingart

"Where many people go wrong in trying to reach their goals is in constantly looking for the big hit, the home run, the magic answer that suddenly transforms their dreams into reality. The problem is that the big hit never comes without a great deal of little hits first. Success in most things comes not from some gigantic stroke of fate, but from simple, incremental progress." -- Andrew Wood

4. New Release - Ron White's Speed Reading, a Systematic Plan to Read Faster and Retain More!

New Release - Ron White's Speed Reading,
a Systematic Plan to Read Faster and Retain More!

4 CD set and Workbook

The statistics speak for themselves; the faster a person reads, the more books they will read and eventually the more money they will make over the course of their lives. This is what the statistics tell us. Therefore, I want to encourage you not only to nurture your desire to read, but also your desire to read faster.

Speed Reading is an extremely comprehensive program and covers everything from the very basics of speed reading to building your vocabulary and remembering what you read. The goal is not to simply read faster, the goal is to read faster coupled with retaining what you are reading.

This may be a program that you will want to go back and review for the maximum benefit. You most certainly will want to practice your speed reading skills as often as possible to keep your reading speed at its maximum.

I look forward to working with you as you learn this new skill and embark on the exciting adventure of knowledge.
