To sustain your growth you must create time to invest in yourself. You will be amazed how much you can take in while riding in your car or while traveling. Henry Ford said, “It’s been my observation that most successful people get ahead during the time that others waste.” Always have a book, a magazine or a Walkman cassette player handy. Keep taking in information. Output answers to input. You can’t get out of yourself more than you have gotten into yourself.It is also important that you focus on a few major goal. You can’t grow in every direction. You just can’t become an expert in every field. Focus on your most important roles and goals in life and keep learning in those areas. John Maxwell once said, “Self- development draws you toward your destiny.”No business will outgrow its Chief Executive. To grow outside, you must first grow inside. And to experience continuous growth, we must have a definite plan for growth. We cannot leave our personal development to chance or to extra time. We hardly have surplus time anyway. Growth must be deliberate. So, schedule time for your personal growth daily. Schedule time to plan your day or your week. Schedule time to read books or listen to tapes. Schedule time to attend seminars and conferences. Schedule time with your mentors.Remember consistency is important. If plants are soaked in large amounts of water only once a week or once a month, they will soon die. They take in water consistently. Just make sure you are learning something new everyday. Be willing to pay the price for growth. It requires discipline. It is easier to watch comedy on the T.V than to read or polish your skills. It costs money to buy books and tapes. However remember that in life pain is inevitable. It is either the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The pain of regret is worse. Through discipline you can make investments in your life today. Investment is the key to achievement. Theodore Roosevelt Former President of the United States once said, “There has not yet been a person in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering.”You must rise to a new level, so you can take your business to a new level. Pay the price for growth today; you will win the prize of success tomorrow.
