Where am I?
Answer: I’m attending the Annual Georgia Pest Control Association Summer Conference this week in Palm Coast, Florida. And I truly love this event. It’s like a family reunion to me. Old home week. Lots and lots of dear old friends that I that I only get to see once or twice a year at a conference.
I actually attend about 5 or 6 pest control conferences each year. I usually am a speaker at several of those. But, I’m also there to learn and get training and credit hours for my pest control certification renewal also.
Each year I attend conferences, online and offline workshops, live webinars, online seminars, as well as private coaching sessions with MY success coach. That’s right…I have my own success coach who I pay a LOT of $$ to help keep me on course with my coaching business and make sure I am delivering the absolute best of quality to MY CLIENTS. That insures that my business is successful and keeps me moving forward, closer to my own dreams.
I have observed through the years that the business owners and sales people who spend the most time and effort on knowledge and learning are the ones who achieve the highest levels of achievement and success in their businesses. They also end up making the most money!
Business owners who invest little or no time in knowledge and learning (other than the required CE credits) are the ones who end up with slow or no business growth and struggle to maintain what they have. They are also generally the ones who have contempt and disdain for the more successful companies. They are most often the ones who don’t invest in learning because they already know everything there is to know…at least in their own minds.
So…I would ask YOU this question: How much time and effort do YOU spend each year on learning and acquiring the knowledge you need to help you move forward in your business…and in your life…to create the visions you dream of?
How many sales, marketing and/or management workshops or seminars do you attend?
How many business growth webinars do you attend?
How many books do you read on selling, marketing, management and business growth?
How many hours do you spend with a coach who can lead you down the path you want to travel?
Are you a member of a business mastermind group?
Or…are you one of those business owners who views those things as expenses rather than investments?
Will you one day have the business that ultimately sets you free to be financially independent and live the lifestyle you crave…or will you continue to struggle just to maintain what you have with no chance to build a worthwhile retirement and financial freedom for you and your family?
I hope you answered these questions honestly. No one will ever know but you.
Thanks for reading. I hope it was helpful.
To YOUR Success Always,
Hal
