Are You A Learning Machine?
"You can never learn less, you can only learn more."~R. Buckminster Fuller
Do you realize that you were created as a learning machine? That if you allow yourself, you could be constantly learning? What is something that is stopping you from learning?
It's those 3 most dreaded words in the English language..."I know that." Or, "I already know that."
Each time you use those words, you are cutting off learning. Even if you do already know that, let the experience continue, because there is always something that you may have not known about if you don't cut yourself off from learning. Always!
An old mentor of mine once told me that you could hear something 99 times, but on the 100th, as long as you were listening, it might make more sense to you, allow for deeper understanding, or just plain hit you right between the eyes with the truth that you thought you already knew!
How often do you say that, "I know that." Make it your goal to take those words, in that sequence, out of your vocabulary. It inhibits learning, stifles the mind and just makes you plain boring...
Always take the opportunity to learn more...because you can't learn less.
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

I Already Know That
"The secret is…there are no real secrets. Just information you don’t have."
THERE ARE NO SECRETS. THERE ARE NO SECRETS. THERE ARE NO SECRETS. Just information that you don't or didn't have...
Wow, kinda puts everything in perspective, doesn't it.
I have information that you don't have and I'm willing to share it with you so that you will have it for the rest of your life. Are you interested?? It's information about sales psychology and how sales really work. I know what you are saying, "I already know all about sales..." The four most destructive words ever put in a sentence. "I already know that."
When you say that, learning stops and you remain stuck where you are at. No chance for growth, no chance to change your situation...all because you "already know that."
Action:
If you are ready to learn some things that will change your business and life, join us today at this seminar. You can have any excuse not to come, but know that you are missing information that you don't have!

What Are You Investing In?
"An Investment in knowledge always pays the best interest."~Benjamin Franklin
Are you investing in knowledge, in yourself, in learning, in being better? Why not?
In this new economy, your investments should be in creating a better you, a better business person, a better person, in becoming the best that you can be!
Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it. Autograph your work with excellence!
If you aren't doing excellent work yet, get someone to help you. Learn. Invest om yourself! Be a beginner again and start from scratch. Don't use those deadly words "I already know that." Clear you mind of what you know (or what you think you know) and let everything be new to you again.
Too many people shut off their learning when they get out of school (and some even before they get out of school). Don't allow that to be you. If it has been you, start NOW, change your thinking NOW. Realize that life expands with learning. Allow it to happen NOW.

Ignorant?
"The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you know nothing about."~Wayne Dyer
Are you rejecting new learning opportunities? Why? Always Be Learning, always. Even if something doesn't fit in what you are doing, do you reject it out of hand? Many people do and lose the chance for learning.
What about those four worst words in the English language, "I already know that." How many times a day do you say that? Why? A mentor told me a long time ago that you could hear something 99 times, but the 100th time, it makes sense! Maybe you were not ready for that truth yet, maybe you knew it a little but not on the level that you needed to know it.
Stop rejecting something you know nothing about. This is your chance for new learning. You can always always learn something if you are open to learning it.

Discovery
"The only way to discover new things is to open your mind."~Allen Steble
This quote is kind of a DUH! quote, but think about it before you dismiss it.
Everyone says that they have an open mind, but do they really? Are you really open to hearing about why the other side believes the way they do, or have you shut your mind? In the US today, we are divided in half by people's political thoughts. In fact, if you disagree with this President, they will harass and demonize you and then ask your neighbors to let the White House know about it.
Our higher learning institutions are supposed to be about the free exchange of ideas, yet how many campuses have "Speech codes" and other such nonsense? "When everybody is thinking the same, nobody is thinking." Allow yourself to break out of that kind of group-think and learn to THINK FOR YOURSELF!
Another way that we close off our mind to new discoveries is to use the 3 most dreadful words in the English language, "I know that." How many times to day did you say that? Each time, you shut down the process for discovery and you lose!
A long time ago, one of my first mentors said to me, "You may have heard it 99 times, but the 100th time you hear something, then you get it." It might be a matter of not being ready to hear that yet, or not being open to something, but never use those dreadful words!
