Sometimes. I learn through doing and that means more money. Sitting around learning all day doesn't do much.

The quote should read:

"The more you take action on what you learn, the more you earn"

You can learn all day long and not do anything with the knowledge.

Absolutely not!

You have to take action, and not only that, in the right way too!

You can know everything in the world, but if you
don't apply it (and correctly) you're screwed!

Hi Ryan, I've heard that quote many times before. It's true in the sense that knowledge gives you the ability to exploit opportunities. But, like others have suggested, the most important thing is to apply what you learn.

Taking action is THE key. Many people find that the more they learn (online) the more confused they become.

IMO, simple is the best way to earn online.

If you don't learn it you can't execute it. It's when you just keep learning and never do anything with it that the learning is wasted.

I think it depedns on how you learn. If you are just told how to do something, you may learn it but never put it to the test. If you are working at something and learn new tricks or better ways to do things because of what your doing then it will make you more money.

Not only do you learn it that way but you remember much better that way. That show "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" proves that just because you learn something, doesn't mean its going to stick with you.

You need to add action to that quote.

I have to agree, whether its directly or in-directly, the more you know you'll learn more

Knowing PHP + CSS + Java + Flash + Html, You'll earn more than just knowing php.

If you're working for someone else as a PHP programmer though, don't think they would care much if you know flash.

There is an obvious association but no cause and effect. Knowing more stuff means nothing unless you take action. Too often I spend a lot of time reading and learning new stuff when I should be taking action on things I already know. At least that's what I plan to do this year. In this regard, I have unsubscribed from all the GURU lists except a couple.

I strongly agree with this wrote because it's absolutely true.
Think about it.
"Knowledge is power; power is knowledge"
Whether you learn more about one subject or many different ones, learning helps you to discover or even create (pertaining to marketing) new strategies, ideas, and expands your horizons (figuratively speaking).

very true!!

Note that "learning" does not equal "make money".

For me as a software developer this is a BIG trap, not only in regards to "learning", but also in a more general sense.

The trap is that there is a danger to spend TOO MUCH being involved in projects, learning, improving...while the actual MARKETING part is falling behind.

In other words: I could spend the next two months now "learning" more in regards to programming (which PER SE is not such a bad thing)...but not realizing that the time spent is actually not making any money.

There were many SUPER SIMPLE efforts made by people who made insane amount of money with VERY simple things, without being involved in a complex "learning phase".

Example:
Instead of spending 5 months learning to design web-pages or learning HTML you could just GO right now and make squidoo lenses with overall the same result.

It is true that MANY things in marketing require "learning", but the experience should come automatically and NEVER at the expense of postponing all ACTION.

You can spend a lot of time on studying IM courses and lessons, buy this and that "marketing program" and learn this or that method...and you spend 5 months "learning" and did not make ONE penny.

Similar to reading a book about "How to move and live in Hawaii".....but if you seriously want to move and live there it requires a bit more than just reading the book.

It's probably a combination of both in the end... Yes, you have to take action, but in the right way too! With the right knowledge! Knowledge is extremely important, but if you don't apply it correctly you're going to be up the creek! One compliments the other!

I think if a person is learning too much, he suffers from analysis paralysis.

Compare that to a person who knows just one thing and keeps doing it and keeps earning more and more. On the other hand, if this same person was doing the wrong thing, then he would have lost money.

So,we could just say that know what works and keep doing it.

I totally agree that "action" is the most important piece of the pie. I, for one, have spent entirely too much time "learning" and not "doing". That changed when I came here to the WF.

There is another piece of the pie that we sometimes forget:

"If its worth doing, its worth doing poorly". - Keith Cunningham, one of the super rich.

I know, that sounds strange, but think back to when you rode a bicycle for the first time. Your "actions" were not enough to succeed. You also needed to learn from failure to ride that bike.

In fact, I'd take that another step further - if you don't fail on your first attempt, you haven't really learned it. Dumb luck can be more brutal than an early failure.

I believe in this...

If you learn more and have enough focus then take the right action, you will earn more.

But if you learn more but do not take action, you will always pay more.

Don't forget to "FOCUS" <- For me, this is more important than learn more.
F = Follow
O = One
C = Course
U = Until
S = Success

After you've succeeded with current course, then just learn more on another course to earn more.

Not much I can add but my spin on it is this: Many newcomers spend way too much time trying to learn and absorb all the information they can find related to Internet Marketing. That of course results in information overload and confusion. Many people are then too intimidated to take action and so they continue to learn even more.

IMHO it is probably best to learn the basic steps to any method or model and then put them into action. Mistakes create valuable learning experiences. As time goes on learning will continue - learning while taking action is key to earning.

Most of what you learn, you easily forget. So it's important to use what you've learned (or at least re-read them many times) so they get stuck in your memory for later use... even if it means cutting down on all the stuffs you're learning.

Go on learning and keep on learning and fall back to your bed after learning. Wake up to continue learning and keep on keeping on learning.

All without action is equal to nothing. At best it will make you a learner expert. If earning is your goal, then learning is a means to an end.

I like what you said about learning being a means to an end. Learning is the means to take action. Without learning you cannot take correct action.
So learn and take action and you will be successful.

Taking action can be hard though. There are so many things that hold us back. We need to overcome these problems and take action so we can have the success we so desire.

I think you have to have a balance between learning and applying what you learn. The other tip is to make sure you are learning from someone who is really successful.

Yes, that is most definitely true in most circumstances, but not always

I know some really dumb people who are rich, and some really smart people who are poor, so I guess it's like in Forest Gump when he said "Mama always told me, that life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." :P

Hello Omari Taylor here,

I disagree. You can't learn everything under the sun but if you don't take any action you don't make anything.

I like this point a lot. Learning from people who are already successful increases your chances of success. Learning from someone who knows head knowledge, but not action knowledge is not as good.

You learn more by taking action and doing things then you do by studying in a classroom (or on your computer)

I made a TON of money with IM before I started learning anything.

As soon as I got all the "better ideas", I started losing money...

And now I only purchase things that are directly relevant to what my long term goals are... that seems to work the best and make the most.

There is a Dan Kennedy-ism that says, "Wealthy people have big libraries. Poor people have big televisions."

Some people want to learn and get ahead, others want to stare at the tube and whine about their lives.

Very true.

It even works the same way backward. The more ignorant you are the more people can earn off you.

It's absolutely true.

It's been proven that the better someones education, the more likely they are to earn a higher income.

While actioning what you've learned is important, it's only a factor (and not actually the question. Action is assumed.) Of two people taking action, the one with more learning is more likely to earn more.

Cheers, John

No this simply isn't true and it's really obvious that it's not true if you just look around at the people who are earning the most.

Now I'm not saying knowledge isn't valuable...it is in fact incredibly valuable.

And I'm certainly not saying that you shouldn't continue to gather more knowledge that can help you in your pursuits.

But the reality is THE MORE YOU TAKE ACTION ON THE KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE THE MORE YOU EARN.

Learning or the knowledge in itself can't and won't make you money.

You must put your knowledge into action if you want results.

There are many people on this forum and in life who have plenty of very useful knowledge but they never take serious action on anything.

Look at the number of university graduates who earn little or nothing.

And yet look at the number of high school dropouts who are millionaires.

Taking action on the right knowledge is the key to earning.

Or to put it another way...if you want to make a certain amount of money you need to take action that can conceivably get you that amount of money.

Anything else is just kidding yourself.

Kindest regards,
Andrew Cavanagh

Rachel has this right.

It doesn't take a heap of learning to make a heap of earning. You just need a winning system and the determination to apply it.

However, if you're a lifelong learner, you already know that knowledge is its own reward.
