“Priceless” Decisions - Part 2
As the famous Paul Harvey used to say, “Here’s the rest of the story.” My last posting was all about how smart it is to invest in yourself and your business by learning and getting inspired and motivated by attending live workshops.
In conversations with successful business owners I have made this observation:
Successful people are always interested in learning! They are naturally curious people who ask a lot of questions, will be quick to jot down the name of that book you just recommended them (if they haven’t already read it?), etc. and in general, approach life and business with enthusiasm and interest. In other words, they are not “Know it Alls” even though they are clearly doing well in their personal and business lives!
When I mention the amount of money I have invested in myself and my business, some of the folks I tell are shocked! They wouldn’t dream of paying that much money or taking the time off to travel out of their city to attend a seminar. They tell me they couldn’t possibly do this because: It’s too much trouble, too much effort, too much money, not enough time, etc. In fact, they are just too busy with their business to “play around” at some conference.
I understand the logic, but it’s a bit short-sighted. What I know to be true is that those who make learning a priority in their lives, will reap the benefits!
So tell me, what seminar are you planning to attend and what do you expect to learn? If you recently attended an amazing workshop, please share!

PS. Jim Rohn, who is known as the “Father of Personal Development” and who has worked with Anthony Robbins (another personal development expert), says that at a minimum you should invest as much money in yourself as you do your car!
