Are You Learning But Not Moving Forward?

Do you feel like you are in the constant cycle of learning and still stagnant?

I feel your pain. I have been on a hunt for learning and devouring Leadership and Mindset content for years!

I am totally, at this point, obsessed with it. I have been for the past 20 years (or more)!

There comes a time if you don’t move forward with this, you will get more and more terrified to use it. Learning without action can put you into paralysis!

When I was learning, my mentor taught me that we have learning models. We have models of success and models of failure. Both are critically important. When we go back to our past and pull out a learning model, there is a pattern that leaves us clues of how we have been successful in our past.

I started to go back to my learning models. One model of success that stuck out was when I learned how to cut hair really well. I began teaching others how to cut hair. I can remember getting a chair on the floor in NYC and feeling so great for my accomplishment. However, I knew I could do better.

So, I went to the Vidal Sassoon Academy in Santa Monica and learned how to become an instructor in my first year. I remember being exhausted by everything.

If there is no action, we will lose momentum. I always compare it to the difference between sitting in a lake or going down a river. When you are going down a river, you can pick up speed and see different sceneries along the way. When you are on a lake, the water is still, you are steady.

When you learn and do, you pick up speed and see more opportunities. If we don’t move and take action, we risk opportunities.

Answer my questions...

What are you waiting for before you take action?

What can you do now to move the needle one step closer to your goal?
