Because all the work in the world is no use, if the wisdom is not behind it. The problem is, people thinks it takes too long to learn all they can before they start and so they tend to skip the full learnings / training required to be great. And if they are fully informed, they forget to update that knowledge and then stagnate.
My advice is this – if you ever stop learning or won’ t listen to new information coming through or are too stubborn to change and upgrade all that you know – you will never master it. Mastery is in knowing that you don’ t know and being open to new methods, new nuggets of wisdom and new advice. Stay open because nothing stays the same, everything changes.
The market changes, the approach changes, people’ s desires are shaped by society and all of its changes and you will change too. Nothing stays the same so you must remain open and keep learning. You are an unfinished product in yourself, you will never be finished because there is always something to learn and places that you can grow and expand your knowledge base.
It’ s a simple message but a vital one – do not get stuck in your ways no matter how much of an expert you are. You have only one axe and it is the key to your whole business – sharpen it from time to time.
See you next month!
