We all have heard the phrase, "Knowledge is Power." I have used this phrase throughout my life and Career. But I realized that Knowledge alone would not give me power.
Knowledge is essential, but taking action is required to make it a reality. We have so many available resources to learn. How to get better health, become Financially free, and create better relationships. What about our business? How do we identify new prospects and create new customers? How to convert more sales.
If you need to get the results you set out for yourself, it could be one simple step to help you achieve those goals.
Knowledge is not power. It only has the potential to be power. Yes, we have to learn, but if you don't apply action, it only becomes Knowledge! My challenge for you is not to talk about what you will do but to do it. Less talk and more action will get you to your dreams and go.
The adage, "knowledge is power," has been around for centuries, but in the modern business world, it's not enough to know something. It's what you do with it that counts. You can have all the business knowledge and insights, but you must apply them to make them work. As a business owner, salesperson, or CEO, you must act on your Knowledge and turn it into something tangible.
Five tips showing you how to turn Knowledge into action to achieve your goals.
Set clear goals
The first step to turning Knowledge into action is setting clear goals. You need to know what you want and what actions to take. Make your goals specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-based (SMART). It will help you focus on the actions moving you closer to your goals.
Break it down
Once you set your goals, break them down into smaller, manageable tasks. It will make it easier to take action, as you won't be overwhelmed by the enormity of the task. It will also give you a clear path to follow, as you know exactly what needs to get done and when.
Take action
It's time to act on your goals and the tasks to achieve them. Take the lead before things happen or for someone else to take the lead. The best way to turn Knowledge into action is to take action yourself. Put your plans into motion and start crossing off those more minor tasks. Each completed task will bring you closer to achieving your larger goals.
Learn as you go.
Don't forget that Knowledge is a continuous process. You will learn new things as you act and work towards your goals. Embrace these new insights and use them to refine your plans and actions. Being open to change and new ideas is often the key to unlocking success.
Celebrate your Success.
Finally, remember to celebrate your successes - big or small. Taking action and achieving your goals should be celebrated. It's easy to get bogged down in the day-to-day tasks, and you must remember to mark the milestones. Take a moment to acknowledge your hard work and pat yourself on the back. Celebrate with your team and use that energy to motivate you towards the next goal.
Knowledge may not be power, but taking action on your Knowledge certainly is. Setting clear goals, breaking them down, taking action, learning as you go, and celebrating your successes are all keys to turning Knowledge into action and achieving your business goals. So, don't just sit on that pile of business knowledge; put it into action and watch your success unfold.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
