What Did You Learn Today?

Every day in our lives should be one of learning. Pertaining to yourself and your business, what did you learn today?

For me, I visited with two clients and was pleasantly surprised to discover that they were a lot more accomplished in their business and personal life than they had ever shared. With a little prodding they opened up about their past achievements.

Our discussions were centered on building credibility and finding out what made them different from their competition in their respective fields.

Each of us has accomplished many things both in our personal and business lives. While you may think that it is ancient history, all these facts help you build a story that will impact the listener.

My real learning was the fact that I also have not looked back at struggles I overcame or differences I made in someone’s life. Those are real life lessons, learning experiences that helped me get to where I am today.

In past blogs I shared the importance of keeping a journal. I want you to make an addition to your daily entry about something you learned, either about yourself or others that had an impact on you. It could be a new marketing idea, a great place to vacation, or an insight about someone that was important to you.

Listen with an open mind and heart and keep that memory, learning experience, alive by putting it in your journal.
