Unlock Your Entrepreneurial Edge with these "Meta Memory" Skills

The Internet is loaded with bizarre garbage.

At least, that's my impression after completing a seven day experiment using subliminal recordings that promise to improve memory and concentration.

More on the results of this experiment later.

For now, the entrepreneurial edge I'm getting from the experiment isn't from listening to these recordings.

It's from running the experiment.

And practicing the mental juggling of endless details using mnemonic devices like these:

The news for you is that you don't need to go through such experiments yourself.

That's because I've spent years decoding what actually works for entrepreneurs.

It definitely isn't gimmicks.

So the question is...

Are you going to remain stuck with content overwhelm and rampant forgetting?

Or go to the real place and experience an authentic solution?

Genchi Genbutsu: Real Place, Real Thing

Genchi genbutsu is the Japanese phrase for a principle that reminds us to place ourselves in the actual conditions needed to properly understand and solve problems.

More and more, online environments are these real places.

And entrepreneurs don't need to remember names nearly as often because they often appear on our Zoom meeting screens.

They were already often on name tags anyway, but let me draw out a separate point:

Many old-school memory gurus are stuck in 1999.

I'm here for 2025, where relevance means recalling the right detail at the right moment so you can crush it whether you're online or off.

The Relevance Reset

Think about the need to be relevant in your own profession.

What are you holding onto from last year's playbook?

And how can you upskill yourself and make your valuable teaching relevant to the modern era?

The Real Memory Techniques Entrepreneurs Can't Ignore

Even though digital environments are deskilling and deprecating classic memory needs, it's still powerful that you understand and can use:

• Memory Palaces
• Chunking
• Mnemonic Association
• Spaced repetition
• The Story Method, and more...

These mnemonic strategies will probably never fade when it comes to outsmarting competitors and mastering mental chaos within minutes.

But the ultimate memory technique?

It's whatever it takes to keep your eye on the goal of remaining relevant in whatever it is that you do.

That means, at least in part, remembering to network frequently, continually journal and track your progress.

Because rest assured...

That bizarre online garbage I mentioned above...

More is coming.

Tsunamis of it.

The Hidden Memory Game: Become Unstoppable

When memory-guru Harry Lorayne mentored me years ago, he said:

"Whatever you do, don't tell 'em about the science!"

When it comes to mass market appeal, he wasn't wrong.

It makes eyes glaze over more often than not.

Problem is, there are some not-so-sexy words you need to know in order to truly get ahead.

The Silent Superpower Behind Real Hustle

Ever notice that some people just show up?

Regardless of whether they feel like it or not?

A huge reason why belongs to what's called procedural memory.

It can be developed through something called deliberate practice.

So if you're ever wanted that "autopilot" feeling that things are in flow, invest your time in these aspects of memory above all.

And invest in...

Your Brain's Crystal Ball

Nothing says, "I've got this," like showing up on time, prepared.

Not to mention remembering to follow up on that lead before they ghost.

To get better results when it comes to developing your mental alarm clock, learn how to improve your prospective memory.

The Meta-Memory Edge: Know Thyself & Win Big

Yes, these science words can sound geeky.

But they're actually your ticket to keeping relevant.

Procedural memory keeps your skills razor sharp – and absolute must in a world moving this fast.

Prospective memory ensures that you never drop the ball on what's coming up next.

In sum, play the real game of relevance in this complicated world. That way, you'll enjoy sailing as if on autopilot, not drowning.
