Nigel Botterill shares his thoughts on how to earn more by learning more....

 'I read an interesting blog post on Brian Tracy's website over the weekend and I thought I'd share my thoughts on a few of the points it raises.

The article talks about the fact that you can't get better results by working harder to apply what you currently know. If you want to earn more in the future, you need to learn and apply new methods and techniques consistently.

I really resonate with this message - I am a firm believer that committing to your ongoing learning and development is an essential part of becoming super successful.  

Tracy likens it to

an ongoing mental fitness program for sales champions, where you prepare and keep yourself in shape for intense competition'

and I think this description is bang on.

The first thing Tracy talks about in his article is that 'Leaders are Readers' and I couldn't agree more.  I read A L-O-T of books and apart from the fact that I enjoy reading, I also make sure I've always got a book or two on the go because I know it's one of the most effective ways to make sure I stay ahead of the curve!  I've usually got a book in the car and one by my bed and I'll pick them up whenever I have a few spare moments!  You don't have to set aside hours or days at a time to read but it's important that you DO make the time somewhere.  

Have you read the books on the Entrepreneurs Circle reading list yet?  What about the 'Book of the Month' featured in the Circular?  Do you read those?  If not, you're missing a trick!

Tracy also talks about surrounding yourself with the right people - learning from people who have been there and done it, attending seminars and courses to expand your knowledge.

Many of the most successful business owners I know will fly hundreds and even thousands of miles to attend business conferences regularly to learn from people who have achieved whatever they aspire to achieve.  I do it myself and I can tell you from experience that the difference it makes in my business each time is phenomenal!  There will always be a few nuggets I can take away to implement in my business straight away.

The good news is that everything I learn at the conferences I attend is passed on to you and all the best business books I come across are recommended to you ... but at the end of the day, YOU are the only one that can commit to using this information to your advantage and implementing what you learn as a result!  

I'm 100% committed to my own continued learning and making sure you have everything you need to build a super successful business - the question is, are you committed to using all of it?

Nigel'
