There are no more Excuses NOT to Succeed!
The purpose of an IQ Matrix Mind Map poster is to provide you with an in-depth information tool that you can reference at anytime to help you stay on track and moving towards your goals and objectives in a consistent and persistent manner without falling into the trap of procrastination and eventual stagnation.
I purchased an IQ Matrix Poster… What Do I Do Now?
Some blog readers have purchased an IQ Matrix Mind Map poster about a topic that is relevant to their current life circumstances. However, they are uncertain how to utilize it in order to help keep them on track and moving forward towards their personal objectives. If this sounds like you, than I am hopeful that this small section will help guide you in the right direction.
A Complete Reference Information Tool
An IQ Matrix Mind Map poster is designed as a complete reference information tool that you can easily refer to on a daily basis to help you stay on track with your life’s goals, tasks, priorities, skills, and objectives.
It is very easy to become overwhelmed with the amount of information that is contained within Self-Help and Business books these days. Each has a story to tell in a slightly different way making learning and applying what you know confusing and somewhat disruptive. On top of this, who really has the time to read all of these books and then apply every concept that the author discusses?
A Means of Organizing Our Acquired Knowledge
Another concern for those seeking to apply what they read into their lives is a concept known as “Knowledge Organization”. Unless we are physically capable of organizing the information we read into manageable chunks that are easy to reference and learn from, than we will simply miss the bigger picture and fail to act on what we know. This is in fact the biggest trap that “Personal Development Junkies” fall into. They read book after book, after book, however because they don’t immediately organize the information they are learning into manageable chunks, they therefore fail to apply it into their lives, which leads to procrastination and eventual stagnation.
Making Knowledge Easily Applicable to Your Life
I sincerely don’t believe that people have the time or the motivation to read and apply all of this knowledge and information. And for this reason I began creating the IQ Matrix Mind Map posters. I wanted to help summarize all the most important aspects of each life and business topic area that pertains to the MasterMind Matrix into a Mind Map reference poster that we can hang on our walls at home, at school and in the office. Consequently we can take these knowledge areas that are most applicable to our life circumstances and instill them consistently and persistently into our psyche.
It is said, that if you tell yourself a lie over and over again, that you will begin accepting it as your truth and reality. Along the same lines, if you reference an IQ Matrix wall poster again and again, you will eventually stop procrastinating and move yourself towards action as a consequence of the guilt you have built up from not DOING what you KNOW.
Turning the Unknown into Knowledge, then Wisdom
One of the most common excuses people make about why they are not living the life of their dreams, is because they simply Do Not Know What To Do!
An IQ Matrix helps turn this Unknown into Knowledge, and that knowledge into Wisdom by presenting you with what you need to know, then helping you apply this knowledge into your life circumstances. Over time this gains you valuable life experience, which turns to Wisdom, thusly helping you successfully overcome the obstacles that are currently preventing you from moving forward in your life.
Gaining Wisdom through an IQ Matrix Poster
Once you purchase an IQ Matrix Mind Map poster that is applicable to your current life circumstances, your very 1st Step is to pin it up…
• On a wall
• Next to your office desk
• Beside your computer
• On the refrigerator
• Beside your bed
• On the bathroom mirror
Or anywhere else where it can be referenced several times per day to keep you focused and on track.
Your 2nd Step is to read the entire Blog Post pertaining to the IQ Matrix poster you purchased. This blog post is designed to expand each branch of the IQ Matrix, thusly providing you a more thorough and detailed explanation of each segment.
Once you have read and thoroughly understood each topic discussed within the Blog post; your 3rd Step is to reference this IQ Matrix poster on a daily basis and progressively apply the information presented on this Mind Map into the area of your life that it pertains to. Small progressive, consistent steps are important here. These will help you avoid the feelings of overwhelm, which usually can lead to procrastination and later complete and utter stagnation.
There Are No More Excuses…
When it comes to achieving success in your life, there are no more excuses. An IQ Matrix can show you the way, however, what you do with that knowledge rests completely in your hands.
And that’s pretty much all there is to it. If you are having troubles you can always email me or make a comment on the IQ Matrix Blog sharing your experiences with other readers. As always, I am here to help you move forward in anyway I can.
How do you create each IQ Matrix Poster?
This is one of the most common questions I am asked on a weekly basis. And it is a question I must “duck under” for the time being. The reason why I am not giving away the technique and method I use to create each IQ Matrix Mind Map, is because I am planning to release an Instructional Course on the IQ Matrix Blog that will describe and visually teach this method sometime in the future.
What I can giveaway is that I utilize a combination of tools to create each IQ Matrix Mind Map. None of these tools actually involve a specific Mind Mapping software package, although I do utilize Mind Mapping software for brainstorming and information collection purposes.
In time, all will be revealed.
How long does it take you to create each IQ Matrix Poster?
To create the actual IQ Matrix Poster doesn’t take very long at all. Although it’s like any skill you learn for the first time – it simply takes some time and patience to master and perfect the method before you become proficient.
Initially creating 1 IQ Matrix took me almost 1 week of full-time development. However, over months of practicing and perfecting the technique, I am now able to complete 1 IQ Matrix Mind Map in about 15 hours of solid work. Although creating the Mind Map is only one step of the process.
I must also research and piece together the information about the topic I am creating into a format that will fit the IQ Matrix design. I utilize other Mind Mapping software products (advertised on the IQ Matrix Blog) for this purpose. This by itself can take anywhere from 2 to 5 hours. After which the IQ Matrix image needs to be altered and prepared for the IQ Matrix Shop and Blog, and the summary for each Mind Map needs to be written up. This process can take an extra 3 to 4 days. For this reason, given my time constraints, it is very difficult to create more than 1 IQ Matrix Mind Map per week.
How did the IQ Matrix concept originate?
I provide background information on how I began Mind Mapping and about how the IQ Matrix concept originated on my personal page at adamsicinski.com.
I’m not sure how to read the IQ Matrix Mind Map?
For a long time, it was believed that you could not effectively read somebody else’s Mind Map. It simply could not be done, given the fact that everybody thinks in a very individualistic way that is unique to their train of thought and habitual patterns of processing information.
I wanted to disprove this belief by creating a Mind Map that could be READ and UNDERSTOOD by anybody. For this very reason each IQ Matrix Mind Map is structured into “spoken sentences” utilizing “full-stops” and other punctuations.
The IQ Matrix isn’t just a set of jumbled words that have been pieced together. Instead, it is designed as a comprehensive “information catalog” and “reference guide” you can utilize to keep you sharp and focused on what is most important pertaining to the skills, tools, strategies, techniques and knowledge you are seeking to master.

What do the IQ Matrix Symbols & Abbreviations mean?
Each IQ Matrix Mind Map utilizes several symbols and abbreviations that help me to expand the meaning of each topic branch without squeezing in more information.
When you purchase an IQ Matrix Mind Map poster from the Shop, you will notice a symbol key sitting within the right margin of the poster. This helps to explain some of the most important and relevant symbols and abbreviations that are used within each IQ Matrix Mind Map. To assist you further, I have inserted the symbol key below:
What are your Professional Qualifications?
I am a qualified professional Life Coach. I attained my qualifications at the Life Coaching Institute of Australia.
