When people think about specialized knowledge, their minds run far and wide. They think it is something very abstract and reserved for a few intelligent and high committed people like Napoleon Hill, Henry Ford and Dale Carnegie.

Is specialized knowledge only for intelligent people?

Well, it is not as complicated and abstract as some people think. As a matter of fact, Napoleon Hill popularized the issue of specialized knowledge. Significantly, many successful Americans of that generation focused on specialized knowledge and the result was amazing. They are a class of outstanding people who transformed America into a first world country and a global leader in most spheres of life such as technology, education and investments.

Notably, even today, the people who gain specialized knowledge are the highly successful people we see.

Why pursue specialized knowledge?

Believe it or not, success depends on acquiring specialized knowledge. The question that stares you in the eyes right now is: What specialized knowledge do you possess. If you do not possess it the question becomes, what specialized knowledge you want to acquire. Remember, without specialized knowledge you remain a commonplace individual.

It seems I am beating about the bush. Sorry for that. Let’s look at what specialized knowledge is. It is knowledge that an individual has on a specific field and enables someone to do a certain practical task successfully. The person is highly organized and focused on a definite purpose. If a person applies it, he will be successful in a specific activity, resulting in profit generation.

Do you have specialized knowledge?

You cannot say you have specialized knowledge if you cannot generate a reliable, quantifiable and sufficient income. Sadly, you cannot acquire specialized knowledge within a short time. As you know, knowledge evolves, thus you should keep learning for life.

I want to emphasize a point here. Specialized knowledge relates to a specific practical area. Writing is a specialized knowledge, for example. If you can write selling articles that bring you income. Other specialized knowledge may include engineering or marketing.

One obvious point is that the search for specialized knowledge is lifelong.

How to acquire specialized knowledge?

I will outline a few steps to help you.

Area of Focus: First, establish your area of focus. This is an area to your heart. Once you walk on that path you will not detour if you want to succeed. For instance, my area of focus is writing.

Master the general knowledge: Second, master the general knowledge required. This is the knowledge we learn from school, colleges and universities. Try to learn as much as you can.

Networking with like-minded people: One way you gain specialized knowledge is through a master-mind group which is a group of people who have a similar focus and who share practical knowledge on a particular area.

Apart from these, someone should read around the area of interest as much as he/she can.

Someone can buttress this by attending as many special training courses as possible. This is so because it is the area where your life depends on. It’s related to your hope, mission and vision in life. So, it is worth the investment.

Use case.

If you know one thing I hate so much is beating about the bush, leaving those many questions cluttered in your head. Please forgive me, if you still say in your heart: What’s this all about? Let me specify.

Let’s say your ambition is to become an affiliate marketer because you have a burning interest in ecommerce and online business. Now, you start by setting your purpose or goal. For example: To earn not less than $50 000 per month through affiliate marketing. This is a long-term goal. A goal that can stretch your entire life. Sadly, others even die before they achieve their goals.

This specialized goal includes the required aptitude, attitude and motivation. You can learn all these. For instance, through reading self-improvement books.

How can you acquire specialized knowledge?

According to Napoleon Hill, the best way to acquire specialized knowledge is through the mastermind group. If you are an affiliate marketer, then join a mastermind group. In the past people used to meet physically but now they can meet virtually through various social media platforms such as telegram, LinkedIn and Facebook.

This is not a group to chit chat. It is a group to focus on how best you can meet your stated target. People in the group share information on only one thing: the purpose of the group. Do you know that a single practical tip can change the entire course of your action?

How can you benefit from the mastermind group?

To benefit the most from a mastermind group, follow as much as possible what you learn from your partners. Try to put everything you learn in practice. Journalise the tips and meditate on them. Imagine, you do this for your entire life: You will be a master craft person in your area of focus.

Tips for affiliate marketers

What lessons do affiliate marketers learn from the aspect of specialized knowledge?

Once you set out to become an affiliate marketer, set it as your purpose and focus on it day and night. It is also more beneficial to work on a single projects rather than many.

Network with other affiliate marketers for your niche or your chosen company. Liaise with them and learn from them.

Have a clear plan on how you want to achieve your goal and stick to your strategy. Results come from concentrated effort. Do not disperse your effort by changing strategies time after time.
