Invest in Yourself
by Gary Lockwood *
One of the best investments you can make is to invest in your
own professional development. Resolve to develop increased
capabilities that will propel you toward your goals faster and
easier than before.
A new capability is something that gives you increased ability to
accomplish your goals. Whenever you are feeling overwhelmed
or frustrated by your business, it means that you've gone as far
as you can go with current capabilities.
As you move relentlessly toward the vision of your "preferred
future", you will need to create new capabilities along the way.
Capabilities that will empower you to be the top performer you
intend to be. You must not wait till you arrive three years in the
future and then realize you should have learned to be a top-notch
communicator, an outstanding negotiator or a high producing
salesperson.
Learning in today's fast-paced and ever-changing environment
can't be left to chance. Make a conscious effort to develop, grow
and learn or be doomed to repeat your mistakes. Worse yet, you
may habitually keep doing those things that are working for you,
while your competition is actively seeking new ideas, innovation
and growth.
Competitive advantage in today's world is based less and less
on technology. All of us have access to faster computers, portable
communication devices and information sources. The competitive
advantage of the future is your learning speed. Learning faster
allows you to react more quickly and satisfy your customers'
needs before your competitor.
Some examples of useful business skills are:
selling, negotiating, planning, financial management, delegation.
Each of these areas requires real-world action coupled with
adequate working knowledge.
