Ruben Gamez asked how I go about taking stuff from the books I read and implementing and executing on them. 1. Read one chapter at a time 2. Underline key points and concepts as I go 3. At end of chapter, stop and write down all of the concepts into a note 4. Organize the notes so it logically flows 5. Rinse and repeat for rest of book 6. As ideas and applications of the core concepts come up, put them in my ideas inbox
