Perpetual Learning
April 15, 2007 by Darlene McDaniel
As I mentioned in my post a couple of days ago, Business 501 From Trump Himself, I believe that Donald Trump remains in a place of perpetual learning. Though by most people’s standards, Donald Trump has arrived. I don’t know for sure, but I don’t believe that he has that opinion of himself. I don’t think he thinks he has arrived. I believe it is a significant reason for his success.
With that said, I want to share a site with you, my fellow small business owners. How much do you invest in your learning. Are you growing and strengthening your knowledge about your product, your pricing, your competition, your strategy and your vision?
Given last year’s success, what goals do you have this year to help you exceed last year’s goals? Are you increasing your knowledge, your business knowledge? How is your competition doing? Check out the free classes on the Small Business Administration website.
All of these classes are free and will help expand your business knowledge. Most entrepreneurs invest so much time in their business and very little time in strengthening areas of weakness. Baby Boomers who choose not to retire and look to owning their own business may find some help in helping them get started with a new business or even strengthen areas or gaps in their business knowledge. I would love to hear from you if you take a class. Share what you learned and give a recommendation.
I never want to stop learning. I swear it keeps us young!
Learning does keep us young. I also believe it will make the difference in our success, whether we are learning for our businesses or we are learning and growing in other areas of our life.
