One of the things I find useful after a great day of tech training is to take a day to concentrate on implementation.
#VREBC... COOL!
Hundreds of "tech forward" real estate professionals around the country took time out of their schedule to attend one or more of DOZENS of webinars for Virtual rebarcamp. But it doesn't matter if the event is an rebarcamp, REtechSouth, RainCamp or something else... the idea is the same.
Learning is cool... but IMPLEMENTATION is KEY!
Taking a decmpression day is a good idea. When I am done, I have hundreds of ideas and notes and possibilities swimming around in my head. Without a techstaff and a grant, there is no way to do everything. So having a little while to step away from it all allows me to boil it down to what REALLY needs to be done.
Last night I didn't look at my notes. I didn't make any radical changes. I did a few things, but none of them were a direct result of #vrebc. But today is a little different... Today will be an implementation day. I will be making at least 6 important changes to my primary websites. I'll also be looking at about a dozen websites to see what I can take away from them...
And there are still several sessions from #vrebc that I didn't get to see... I might try to see if those are available yet. I know that at least one of those will be causing major changes in my web presence (Posterous).
So, here is the drill:
- Get ready to learn... have the notebook, netbook, paper and pen... whatever...
- Learn, take notes...
- Meet new friends...
- Step away from it for at least a few hours, but not more than a couple of days (I like one day)...
- Sit down and concentrate on implementing the cool techniques and technologies...
- Look at ways to make the implementations better...
- Get ready to learn...
And so the process begins again.
Remember...
Learning is great, but if you don't implement the cool stuff that you learn, you wasted your time learning it.
