Ass-Kicking Email – Rock Your 30-Day Trial!

Hey,

Today is about going from getting started, to making sure you
finish. I want to share how some of the Learning on Steroids
members are rocking their 30-Day Trials, as well as how you
can make sure yours lasts.

In this email:

1. I discuss Benny Lewis’s *Fluent in 3 Months* interview.
2. 30DT progress and examples from the group.
3. How to make sure your 30DT sticks.

First, if you haven’t already, please make a new post about your
30 Day Trial in the FORUMS:

Too many people sit on the sidelines and accomplish nothing with a
program like this. You need to stop reading and start taking action.
This program is about TRAINING rapid learning tactics, not just
discussing them!

Today I want to discuss a great interview I did with Benny Lewis,
which is part of your first month’s package. The audio quality isn’t
perfect, but I can assure you that the information is well worth it.

Benny Lewis is a friend of mine who writes a blog detailing his
“missions” or language-learning, travel-hopping adventures. His
broader mission is to become fluent in a new language, with no
prior experience in just three months.

To be honest, when I first heard about Benny, I thought it was a
scam too. I’ve been working on mastering French, so the idea that
someone could do that in under three months seemed impossible.

That was until I met Benny.

Benny speaks 8 languages, acquiring 7 of them in under 7 years.

He breaks down his method, which I would call a total immersion
method for learning. For Benny, and potentially for you, learning
doesn’t need to be an isolated activity. It’s a lifestyle.

If you want to access the Benny Lewis interview you can do so from
the CONTENT page under BONUSES:

Even if you aren’t interested in foreign languages, I think Benny’s
story has strong implications for all types of learning. I’m just
beginning to wrap my head around the possibilities this has for
learning *other* subjects.

Also, check out Benny’s new blog. He’s constantly taking on new
missions to learn languages rapidly and has his own guide on
language learning that I highly recommend:

Like many of you, I’ve used this program to run my own 30-Day Trials
In fact, I’ve documented a few of them in the forums already. If you
missed my past video talking about my first trial, and how you can
start yours, check it here:

What are some of the other members doing? Here are a few examples
from past Learning on Steroids members to give you some ideas!

“For my 30 day trial… I am going to use weekly and daily goals
to get things done.”

“Commit for 30 days incorporating flow-based notetaking into
my classes.”

“I’m doing trial #1 [Weekly/Daily Goals]”

“Keep an activity log for 3-hours per day.”

“I’m going to do all my readings BEFORE class.”

“25 Metaphors per day.”

These are just a few of the example trials I’ve heard. Start
yours today if you haven’t already.

And please WRITE ABOUT YOUR TRIAL IN THE FORUMS! That way we can all
encourage each other and participate in the community here:

Sticking Points

Here’s a quick list of some suggestions for 30DTs:

1. *Remembering* to do your trial is key.

It’s easy to forget to do your trial work, especially when you’re
busy.

If you keep a daily goals list, I suggest adding your trial work to
that list every day. If you don’t you might want to consider
marking down your work on a calendar, agenda or some other place to
help you keep track.

2. Keep it specific on a daily level.

Try to write your trial so you know *exactly* what you’ll be doing
each day. Saying you want to practice a certain technique isn’t
useful unless you know how that breaks down to what you’ll be doing
each day.

3. Make it easy, make it simple.

As I say in the video, people underestimate the difficulty of
sticking to a trial for 30 days. That’s why I recommend picking
challenges that feel a tad too easy, because they’ll be more likely
to last long-term.

Second to that is keeping things simple. Having a trial which can be
easily summarized in a sentence or two will have fewer complications
than one which requires pages of documentation.

Thanks for reading, here’s what you need to do:

1. If you haven’t started your trial yet, pick one and start today!
2. Document your trial in the FORUMS in 1-2 sentences.
3. If you HAVE started your trial, congratulations! Don’t hesitate
to email me if you get stuck, and keep working on it.
