The Benefits of Sharing

Seth’s Blog: The sad irony of selfishness

More often than not, the selfish person is insecure, fearful and filled with doubt. The selfishness springs from his belief that this is his only good idea, his last dollar, his one and only chance to avoid failure. “I need this, not you,” he says, because he truly believes he’s got nothing else going on, no other chance, no hope.

I am often asked why I spend so many hours blogging and writing articles on our Using Mind Maps website. There are over 100 free articles on using Mind Maps based on my own views and hundreds of blog posts on MindMapTutor.com. Not to mention the Facebook Page and Twitter updates.

I also offer a free monthly newsletter and a free email course on what a good learning program should look like.

This is in contrast to what many people believe they should do to survive and gain a competitive advantage, but I truly believe that the more you give, the more you shall receive.

I was therefore glad to see this post by Seth Godin, one of the leading marketers in the world. He also supports the idea that what you give will be returned manifold – sometimes in ways that you least expect it.

So, if you feel that you would like to share your ideas or your experiences with Mind Maps, I have created a space for you on our website, where you can share your ideas with the world (at no cost to you) and reap some of the benefits of sharing.

Mind Map Software can make you more productive

Skilled users of mind mapping software are significantly more productive, research shows
http://mindmappingsoftwareblog.com/productivity-research-mind-mapping-software/

Investing time in improving your skill with mind mapping software can have a strong payoff in improved productivity, according to a deeper analysis of my survey research.
Last year, I conducted a survey that showed that mind mapping software is the ideal productivity tool for today’s busy executives. After writing about Biggerplate.com’s new training program on the blog this morning, I got to wondering about the connection between mind mapping skill level and the benefits enjoyed from it. Intuitively, it seems there should be a direct correlation between the two. After all, the more skilled you are with a software program, you can work faster and more efficiently, and apply it to a greater number of tasks. Wouldn’t it be great if I had some real-world data to back up that assertion, I wondered? Then I suddenly realized that I may have this data, embedded in last year’s survey results.

Chuck Frey runs arguably the best blog on Mind Mapping Software.

This is a great article of his on the proclivity gains of Mind Mappers – with the evidence to back it up!

So, if you are not yet using Mind Map Software, now is the time to get started.
