I have produced an iMindMap version of the 11 mistakes because this can serve as a reminder when people are Mind Mapping. The one I find the most interesting is number 2: don't understand the basics of Mind Mapping. That is so true. There are so many people who think that they are Mind Mapping and think that they don't need to learn how to do it. I have had comments from people like, 'its easy you don't need to be trained' and 'why do I need to go on a course to learn this?'. The answer is simple we need to be taught how to do things, we don't ride a bike just by jumping on, we watch, we learn, we try, we fail, we try again, we get corrected. The same applies to Mind Mapping. I thought I could Mind Map until I went and trained as a Buzan Licensed Instructor, then I found out how to Mind Map! Have a look at the map I have produced from this useful article. This is interesting and certainly what I have observed when I have been training people to Mind Map.
