Network Marketing and all that is involved can be a challenge to understand and learn.
There are several stages of learning that one must go through to fully grasp any concept. This is especially true in MLM because the last stage involves teaching, and if any concept is not fully understood it will not be able to be taught to others correctly.
Here are the 5 stages of learning:
1) Unconscious Incompetent – You don’t know, you don’t know
2) Conscious Incompetent – You are aware that you don’t know
3) Unconscious Competent – You are unaware that you know
4) Conscious Competent – You are aware that you know, and make conscious decisions to further your education in specific areas
5) Mastery – You have a firm grasp of the subject, and can teach others with efficiency
The simple learning method of listening and memorizing may work; however it is not the most effective. This method works for some people, but is not the best way to teach groups of people that individually have different learning preferences.
Accelerated learning processes use a mixture of techniques to teach a particular subject. When multiple teaching techniques are used it creates more interest and causes you to move your audience through the 5 stages of learning faster. The more engaged they are in the learning process, the more likely they are to retain the information, and the easier it becomes for them to teach it.
“Each one, reach one. Each one, teach one. Until all are taught. "
