Despite the fact that I've published well over 1,000 articles and am the best-selling author of 12 books, and I can boast having earned 5 college degrees, a tectonic realization made me shudder, recently:

I AM NOT LEARNING FAST ENOUGH!

Here are some of the accompanying insights:

(1) The speed with which I learn, the velocity, is perhaps more important than what I learn. For instance, I've always been what I consider to be a lucky researcher. Plunk me down in a library and within mere minutes I'll not only find what I came in for, but also more important items that I didn't know existed. Or, to put it another way, I can undertake to learn A, but I'll stumble upon Z in the process, and that will make all the difference. Speed enables me to sift through lots of silt and inevitably I'll find gold, or who knows, diamonds, even if I'm in a less than ideal place.

(2) If you're slow to learn, you'll be reluctant to adapt. In business, sloth at best means a s-l-o-w death.

(3) Learning NEW things ushers in the ABANDONMENT OF THE OLD, a necessary condition to innovation and breakthroughs. Or, as a glib baseball coach once said, "You can't keep your foot on first, and steal second!"

(4) Feedback loops are not naturally occurring in many fields, and especially for entrepreneurs and the self-employed. We have to seek them out and develop them, even if it feels like we're forcing information from people. Every day should involve some explicit "polling" of customers. "How did that set of audios work out for you?" and "How are we doing?" should be constantly asked, and we should listen especially for what information ISN'T immediately forthcoming.

Every few years yet another soldier emerges, blistered, tattered, and paranoid, from the underbrush on an island in the Pacific, only to be informed that World War II ended more than 60 years ago. Here, he has been waging battles against enemies that have been friends for more than a half-century.

The picture in his head has been hopelessly out of whack with the "reality" of the surrounding world, but without information, how could he know that?

Make sure you're in a position to learn as fast as possible!

Law school is a goal for many soon to be college graduates. Finding out how to get into law school is a process unto itself. Most people think it is all about taking the LSAT exam and scoring well. That is a big part of the process but there is a lot more involved then just the test. Law schools want to know what kind of person you are and how dedicated to the program you will be during your time there. This is serious business and they do not want someone to be there that takes it lightly.

Other then the LSAT's part of how to get into law school starts with your undergraduate degree. Schools want to see good grades on that transcript. so the sooner you begin focusing on your grades the better. Law schools require your school transcripts as well as a Dean's Letter and Letter's of Recommendation from teachers and the like. The letters must show that you are a dedicated person who works hard and has a desire to go to law school.

Deciding which law school to attend is also a big issue. The best advice would be to have a short list of schools that you would like to apply to and also do not get stuck on a known name school. Keep your options as open as possible and apply to a few schools to give yourself an increased chance of getting in. Not every school is right for everyone and you will need to do some research to find schools that feel right to you.

Do you think you know how to get into law school? We are not done yet... you will also need to have a pretty terrific resume put together. You will need to show volunteer hours and any internship activities if you have them. Your resume will need to show previous employment and education. When you finally have everything you need then you are ready to apply. There may be an in person interview required as well. With hard work and determination you will get into the law school of your choice and begin working on your soon to be career. After about 3 years you will be known as a lawyer.
