This week’s focus point…Who’s the Boss?
I recently had a conversation with someone regarding an opportunity to improve their skills and boost their growth and revenue with a very small investment. They work in sales for a company that allots them a budget for professional development. This individual declined to move forward because they didn’t have enough room in the budget and couldn’t be reimbursed by the company.
Here’s your revelation for the week…
This is a consistent theme I see from those that are employed by others. Entrepreneurs are used to paying for themselves because they have no other place to go for funds. Employees often get the misguided notion that somebody else should foot the bill for their improvement. I was guilty as charged when I was an employee, so I feel confident in that statement. In the end, take responsibility for your own personal and professional development. Invest in tools, resources, workshops, programs, and coaches that will rapidly advance your condition and not only return your financial investment quickly, but also return a just as important metric, ROT (Return on Time) as rapidly.
You are the boss. Act like it…
