Step 2 of Building a Smarter Better Business

_{It’s amazing what we, as humans, don’t even know what we don’t know. Being open to change and new learning is a crucial step to building a smarter better business. New learning opportunities are everywhere, and in this digital world, there’s simply no excuse to avoid new learning. We’re all busy, and sometimes we feel like we just don’t have the time to sit down and read a book. We need to make the time. Set yourself targets and share these with someone who will hold you accountable to achieving these.}

Here are five ways to learn more, positioning yourself to run a smarter better business:

1. Read more.
Turn off your technology half an hour earlier each night and spend that time reading. Mix it up with recreational books and business books. As a bonus, it will help you sleep better! 

2. Resist the urge to hang out on your phone.
Unless you’re learning something new. By the way, you’re unlikely to learn on Facebook! Try an eBook, audio book, podcast, or learning app instead! 

3. Enrol in courses or workshops.
These can be online or in person. Choose topics that interest you and will help you in your business. 

4. Turn off your TV.
Unless you’re viewing TED talks on YouTube or content that is useful learning. 

5. Keep a journal of your learnings.
Review your journal of learnings regularly. Remember, you don’t really know something until you can teach it to someone else. 

So, in what areas would you benefit from extending your knowledge? It could be leadership, management, sales, or writing skills. Find out the best ways to develop your knowledge and set aside time to learn. Don’t forget to ask someone to hold you accountable. Maybe you could buddy up with someone and meet regularly to share your learnings with each other? Once you begin learning, your hunger to learn will grow.
