Everyone I have ever met who is successful at what they do have one thing in common…
They never ever stop learning!
They learn from what works and they learn from what doesn’t, they learn from their own mistakes and they learn from the mistakes of others.
They learn from the books they read and the videos they watch, they learn from the courses they do and the seminars they attend …but they never stop learning.
“If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got” and for most people “getting what they’ve always got” is not what they want, they want more!
If you are like most people and you’re not satisfied with where you currently are in life and you want ‘more’ in whatever that means to you whether it’s more clients, or more money, or more time off or more stuff!
Whatever it is, then in order to get it you need to learn new skills and gain more knowledge… Because the skills and knowledge that you currently have is what has got you to where you are today …and they are not going to get you to where you want to be tomorrow.
What are you going to do about that?
Will you just keep on doing what you already know and hope for a different result, spending all your time justifying why you do what you do, blaming everyone else, or blaming the economy your colleagues or something else beyond your control?
Or will you do something about it? Because there is another way…
You could learn more!
You could learn to think differently, to act differently!
You could learn more about color, or retail, or how to inspire clients to want more services… or you could learn more about people, how to motivate them, how to lead, manage and inspire them …or you could just keep doing what you currently do and hoping for a different result.
Staying with what you know is often [on the surface anyway] easier, at least it’s predictable and probably getting a consistent result.
The problem is, it’s not the result you want!
If you want a different result you have to learn something different and do something different, and that often means stepping outside your comfort zone and into the unknown and that’s not always easy.
Outside your comfort zone is where potential failure is, it’s where the potential for rejection and humiliation are. It’s where fear and failure are to be found.
But, it’s also where growth is. It’s where new knowledge, new skills, new insights and opportunity are, and it’s where success, fun, money and excitement are found.
You owe it to yourself…
No one owes you ‘success’! Not your colleagues or your partners, not your families, not your boss or your team, not the government, the product manufacturers or the clients…
The only person that owes you success is ‘YOU’,You owe it to yourself to be the very best you can be.
So, what will you learn this year?
What questions will you ask of yourself?
What books will you read?
What online course will you do?
What new skills and knowledge will you acquire?
