Are You Committed To Growth?

Most business owners, executives and sales professionals will tell you that they are committed to growing their sales, companies, teams, etc. But the real secret to achieving growth in business is to commit to personal growth. What was the last book you read, class you took, seminar you attended or webinar you viewed?

I have heard it said by many people that where you will be in the future depends upon the books you read, the people you associate with, and the actions you take. This week’s tip is about committing to a program of lifetime learning and then implementing it.

You are either growing or dying, so what are you doing to grow? Can you commit to one or more of the following?

Read a book about business, sales, leadership or motivation next monthAttend a seminar or workshop – this can be free or paid as long as there is valueBuy or download CD’s, DVD’s, or MP3’s and then watch, listen and learnSubscribe to a trade or business magazine and then read it when it comes. Look up local classes in your area and sign up to learn something new.

It is very important for me to always be adding to my knowledge base. I personally am committed to reading a business or motivational book each week, spending 2 hours or more listening to CD’s (great use of time in the car) and attending at least one seminar or workshop every quarter. What level of commitment do you have to your own growth and development?
