As an entrepreneur, you and I know that the most precious resource we have is time. Everyone has the same amount of hours everyday with tons of things to do.

Yes, you can hire assistants and outsource tasks. However, there is one thing that you cannot have someone else do: Learning.

I shared in one of my blog posts – The Master Key To Growing Your Business Consistently – that successful entrepreneurs are ultimately lifetime students. They continually increase their skills and knowledge, and even branch out to new ones along the way.

As a marketer, I regularly follow the latest trends and strategies so I can apply them to my business. If you are a solo internet marketer, I understand when you feel overwhelmed, or even overloaded, with all the good information out there. It seems like they never stop coming out with new materials that you just can’t ignore if you don’t want to be left behind.

I am now a full time marketer with a team of assistants and an arsenal of automation tools helping me with my marketing campaigns. There are some areas that I myself still do but now I can set aside more time for learning.

Then I come to another problem. I like ebooks, reports and PDFs since I can set the pace and read them quickly. However, more and more courses are now in the form of videos. Well, videos are great because I can watch exactly what is being taught, step by step. But some videos can take from 10 minutes up to 3 hours! I sometimes still feel like my precious time is being stolen from me when I sit down to watch them.

But cheer up, my friend!

A few months ago, I found a solution. It is a software that will speed up the video playback without sounding high pitched like a chipmunk. The software is called MySpeed from Enounce.

MySpeed will play any online videos, including YouTube, with half the speed (for taking notes) and all the way to 5 times the speed (for saving time). This is one of my most important software I have in my computer.

Most instructors on the videos that I watch speak slower than normal because they are recording the screen at the same time. This is when I can cut my learning time using MySpeed.

If you set it to 1.5 times, a 60-minute video will take 40 minutes, and a 120-minute video will take only 80 minutes. Now if you set it to 2 times, 1 hour will only take half, and a 2-hour video can be learned in 1 hour only!

I highly recommend Enounce MySpeed. If you are interested in getting one for yourself, use this coupon code: REAPERSNET20 to get a 20% discount. You most likely will not find any valid coupon when you do a Google search.

I hope I’ve helped you save time today and for the future. Please comment, subscribe to my RSS feed, or share this post within your social circles.
