Time to grow up

“Act now”

Once in a lifetime, almost everyone takes part into training courses or faces situations where life wants to teach us something.

When an issue is particularly interesting, either because it’s the first time we learn it or because we remember how important it is, we write it down to remember it forever.

Some of us are very organized about it, they keep a diary or a “USEFUL” folder on the computer.

At first we are satisfied…. because…yes!!…we’ve learnt something new today, but once we go back to home/work, we forget that moment or that teaching. Life is so strange…she gives and takes away.. or better…we take teachings away.

Let’s learn something new everyday and let’s put it into practice…we can do it.. What wonderful people we will be in one month, one year, one lifetime if we learn something new everyday! What if this information is useful for our job? We’ll reach higher and higher goals! We will be masters in our field.

People next to us should train to keep up with our evolution, or they wouldn’t recognize us anymore.

To make this happen, after obtaining the information, let’s take few minutes to write it down the same day or the day after and let’s repeat it everyday (I do it 3 times a day for at least 21 days, 30 is better). The most important thing is to practice it until it becomes a good habit (read the article “Good habits, bad habits”.)

In time, we’ll be living witnesses of our teachings, with our words and our acts.

During a training course where I was the Trainer, one of the participant was doubtful about his capacity to take in all the good teachings in his life…. he said: “It’s tiring, it looks like a job”.

“There’s another way out” I answered “Stop listening to the good teachings”.

A compromise? Get one good information once a week or once a month, but do it good so that you can go on to the second one. It will be fun and, in the end, you will be the promoters of what I define “life-long evolution”.

Teachings in strategic and structured Referral Marketing are continuous, life-related and can be turned into practice for everyone. Focus of this word-of-mouth is our profession, an issue we know a lot about: it is therefore easier and more interesting to practice the new teachings in the field. Each strategy has a result, it is therefore important to act rapidly, every hour, every day, until the teaching is inside us as automatic as our breathing and as the blink of an eye.

I have made up my mind: I listen, I learn, I put my, I do what I say and I say what I do…right now”
