| | What Has A Portable MP3 Player Have To Do With Your BusinessWritten by Lynette Chandler
Continued from page 1
It was frustrating because here was all this great information at my fingertips that could be put to use immediately to advance my business. Instead, it's sitting gathering cyber dust. Once I purchased a portable MP3 player, I had freedom to listen, learn and apply. What a great difference it made. There is also a flipside to this. What if you're one creating content? For many of us thought of sitting down to write an article is almost paralyzing. In our mind's eye we see it as moving a mountain. It's not that we don't know how or it's hard to do but thought of is simply unpleasant. So how can your portable MP3 player come into play? Most portable MP3 players have a recording function. You can record as much as you like limited to only drive space of player and a simple 128MB drive can store quite a bit of audio. So, why not dictate? Record your thoughts or pretend you're talking to a friend on phone about your topic. Then have it transcribed. By doing so, not only are you making most out of your time because you can do so where ever you are. You also get things done instead of letting a mental block stall your business. So if you're having a hard time consuming your training material creating content or even writing your book, pick up a portable MP3 player. They are so inexpensive these days you really have no excuse to start. It's time you moved on.
