Your most import resource

Your most important resource is not your bank account or your house, but your knowledge. What you know and how you use your knowledge, is what sets you apart at work and in your community. If you are looking for a new job or a promotion or sometimes, especially in a down economy, you need to know more and be able to apply that information to your position.

If you want to progress in your field you will never stop learning. That means that you need to put effort into learning, the more progress you want the more effort you will want to put into learning. But is that really that hard to do? How many hours do you spend watching television in one day? What if you took fifteen to thirty minutes every day into reading a book in your field, or a biography of someone who excels in your profession?

There is a reason that top companies spend millions every year in training of their employees and that reason is that they get a greater return from that investment. If the company is willing to invest in you don’t you think that you should do the same? We have an ability to learn vast amounts and we are, for the most part, not doing it.

When you are in the car, instead of listening to the radio or that CD, why not listen to something that will improve your life. Discover things that you never knew before and I am not saying that you should focus only on knowledge that impacts your job. Learn about things that you enjoy and that can be what ever you enjoy. Who knows, you may find that you will be changing jobs for something that makes you happy. Read what ever you can about your field and what you enjoy and you could be an expert in your field in a few years.
