What do you want more than anything? What do you dream about, think about, wish for?

Today we look at the real price of achieving greatness.  Than narrow, deep focus that requires you to set aside some things are good and useful, but perhaps not mission critical.

It’s easy to get caught up in the busy work of building your career and miss the important details along the way. This time we don’t mean the specifics of manoeuvring office politics or crunching numbers. We’re talking about the intricate way nature, art, music and other things shape our world.  
 
If you can start appreciating those things, the next step is seeing the beauty in people. When this happens, you’re on the way to becoming a strong leader.  You can look beyond a person’s work and see the desires that fuel them daily. Use that to lead your team to their best!

It’s no secret becoming a respected leader in your field requires consistent learning. However making steady progress on education amidst all the other crucial tasks is challenging. This is often because we take a casual approach with loose plans hoping that books will get read and courses taken. Even when we’re able to skim through some material, we only reap a small percentage of the benefits since there was no implementation plan.

To experience the most progress in the least amount of time we have to schedule our learning activities like any other important appointment or meeting.

 

Question: What’s your top learning goal right now? Respond below or via twitter.
