The Growth Equation

When I need to Grow I intuitively KNOW it will require sacrifice!

Ways to Develop:

-Reading

-Seminars or conferences

-Examine leaders or organizations that do what I NEED or desire to be able to do

-Podcasts, Digital resources, etc.

With technology & social media today, its my opinion that growth has never been easier, but it still requires sacrifice.

My high school guidance counselors once said, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” Wait, that was Confucius who also said, “By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.”

In other words we can grow by

1.     Examination and reflection on how we can grow (AKA Transformation)

2.     Copy what someone else is doing (Most common, also usually doesn’t work)

3.     Learning from our mistakes (The hard way)

You want to grow right?

So you can continue to learn from your mistakes, or try to copy someone else (not fun also not what you were designed to do), or by examining how you NEED to or desire to grow and INVESTING the time it takes to follow through with the plan!

What areas do you want to grow in?

How are you ensuring this growth takes place?

What have your found encourages growth the best for you personally?
