What I've noticed about very successful business owners, they are always learning and growing. The majority do not achieve their high levels of success on their own.
The coach I'm currently working with is in two high-end coaching programs that she invests thousands of dollars a year to belong to. Earning a million dollars a year and growing; something is
definitely working for her.
For your business to be better you need to be better and you don't get better by doing nothing!
You are the average of the five PEOPLE you hang around the most. Surround yourself with people whom you want to be like.
To do this you may have to get right out of your comfort zone and join a coaching program, go along to seminars where you meet other like-minded people or those playing at a higher level of business than you.
There's no excuse not to get off your butt and learn your way to success. Regardless of where you are located events are taking place all around the country regularly as well as on-line.
Saying you have 'no money' or 'no time' are not good enough excuses.
For many business owners they spend their whole lives using these excuses and going nowhere. Don't focus on where you are now, but where you want to be. You'll find the money and the time if you seriously want to change.
Your ongoing learning (and consistent implementation) can take you from struggling along to soaring high in all areas of your life.
It's been nearly six months since you made those New Year resolutions to make changes in your business and your life.
Are you getting the results you wanted?
Is your business more profitable?
Do you have more free time?
Is the quality of your life improving?
If you answered 'yes', then take a look at why that is. What have you been doing to get these results? And if you're not moving ahead, seriously look at why that is. When's the last time you read a book, listened to a CD, got coached or attended a seminar to learn how to do things better?
The people I know who are getting great results in their business and personal lives are always learning and growing.
The Final Word
You are the Secret to Your Success, so do everything within your power to invest in yourself.
