Consuming Information Is Useless. Here's Why (Read especially if you're in business or plan to be.)

A Thread.

Yesterday I came across this quote and it got me thinking.

Here It is:

"The true method of knowledge is experiment." - William Blake (English Poet)

They say,...

"Knowledge is power". I say they missed out on something, so let's rephrase that quote:

"Knowledge APPLIED is power".

Most people buy a course, read a book, browse Google and consume a couple of articles and then think they have knowledge, but they don't.

What they have is...

INFORMATION. Just INFORMATION.

There's information, and there's knowledge. What converts information to knowledge is APPLICATION.

Until you apply the information you have consumed, it's an apparition, a mirage, mist.

Why is application important? Because, it affords you...

the chance to see the information in ACTION. You have a chance to test the assumptions.

And guess what, most times, when you apply the information you have, you see that it doesn't quick pan out as described. You may need to adjust the steps of part of the info itself to get...

the results you seek.

Take Note: this does not invalidate the info. It merely solidifies it and make it's essence shine through. When this happens, then it becomes KNOWLEDGE. Because now you KNOW. Knowledge is CERTAINTY. You KNOW for real that this is how this or that works.

Without KNOWing, all you have is guesswork, and guesswork has led many to ruin and regret.

Truly successful people don't rely on guesswork to make critical decisions; they rely on tested information that has become KNOWledge.

Knowlegde then leads to something even more...

tangible and valuable: EXPERIENCE.

It is only by doing that you gain KNOWLEDGE. It is only by gaining KNOWLEDGE and using same over and over that you gain EXPERIENCE.

And the great thing about experience is that it is unique to you. Only you can share that unique knowledge...

and experience you have. If you want to become successful in business, you reach there by merely reading books, watching courses and consuming them, or buying recommended software. You certainly won't do it by hailing me or @Nappyb0yy or @RyanHolmerr or @DailyCopywriter on...

Twitter. Nope.

You do it by getting started, and if you hit a block, trying something else, maybe going back to the information you used and see if you can twist it a different way. Or seeking additional info specific to overcoming that rough patch.

You do this and it works...

and that information is now turned into new knowledge. It's no longer theory that maybe might work or not. You now have the facts. Obtained from real world application and data gleaned from doing. Where others assume, you KNOW, where others "think," you are certain.

So...

If you want success, this is what you must do: Stop merely consuming information, and start turning it to knowledge by doing. You'll reach where you want to get to faster and you'll be glad you did.

Let me know what you think. And guys, if you want to learn how to build...

how to build an eCommerce brand, learn from someone who knows how to do it @Nappyb0yy but don't just consume the content, APPLY it and turn it to KNOWLEDGE:
