Learning, Is It Really?

Are you the child of 3? Are you the youth of 17? Are you still your mother’s child or her caregiver? When did YOU change? If you have changed which you is you? Maybe it is time to start learning about you!

Today is the first day of the rest of your life… Who are you and what will you do with that today?

Learning Is Changing

Each “New” Day, Month, Year, event or activitiy gives you and I the chance to change. When you learn something about yourself and the world around you, you change.  Because of the change you are not the you, you were a while ago.

Does Your Personal Learning Lab Leverage Learning About You

Look at the first day of a New Year.  Is it really different than the day before?  The sun will rise and set the same as everyday here on planet Earth.  The difference is your attitude and your hope of a life improved and  greater satisfaction carries the day.  You have a new hope generated through the possibilities of changes in your choices.

You can actually speed up the entire process by learning more about yourself.  Not the ever changing you, but the you who is doing the learning.  You and I need to become learners about ourselves as learners.  This brings ourDoes Your Personal Learning Lab Leverage Learning About You hopes and dreams into the realm of reality.

Learning About You

Sure you are changing each and every day.  You are not the same any day of the week because what you learn changes who you are.

Your core elements reveal your preferences for learning.  How does your mind work?  Are you a “visual” learner or do you prefer to hear the lesson?  Are you person of action?  Do you learn by doing more than seeing or listenting?

When you learn how you learn you are prepared to know what you can do to learn more quickly each day!  Learning about you, your preferences and dreams makes your ability to change expand quickly.

There are so many barriers to becoming all we want to become.  What is stopping you or I from becoming exactly what we want to be? Is this why we are continually experiencing challenges as we change?

1. 1. We beleive we know who we are.
2. 2. We are kidding ourselves.
3. 3. We do not want to face the reality of who we are.
4. 4.  We don’t know enough about ourselves to properly plan our own learning expereinces.

Plan now to get to know yourself.  Trust you have it in you to become your best self.  Know there are those of us around you cheering on your change.  Learning about you may just be the fastest breakthorough to the new you you desire.

Your Hope of a New You in the New Year

Isn’t this really what gives us the light in the dawn of the new year?  Hope for a bright future. Hope for a dream come true. Hope for learning the best stuff for us so we can be changed by what we learn.  Will you indeed leverage you and learning about you into the new you?  You are changing.  You are learning.

Why not learn about you and how you learn so you can become the new you faster.  Learn about you so you can learn more around you and change for the better?

I hope you have the time of your life learning to change by learning about how you learn and change.

Best of success,

Leveraging Learning into Significant Solutions

Years ago, I was introduced to a teaching principle.  Great teachers not only use the best teaching methods to reach their students. Master teachers teach important timeless truths. More than tactic or technique these teachers teach important truths their students may or may not want to learn.  Quality teachers teach their students what is most important using the best methods possible. So, what is of greatest worth in life to teach?

Today I ask you a difficult question I’ve had to ask myself.  Are you and I busy looking for large gold nuggets?  Do we want it all right now?  Are we so set on the big, earth shattering solutions that we are overlooking the simple beauties and riches along the way?

Sometimes when we pursue answers to the problems we face, we jump forward in leaps and bounds seeking to accumulate wealth.  In our running forward in a frenzy we risk missing the flecks of gold along the way.  Life lessons worth learning are strung along our path.  Are we seeing them? Do we see the riches of today?

The accumulation of great riches often happens through the patient collection of tiny gold flecks gathered carefully along the way.  I am grateful much of the wealth I enjoy today has come in this way.  Enjoy this parable:

By small and simple means are great blessings brought to pass. Does your daily method of operation foster this kind of service and reward?  Are you serving others in small and simple ways?  Are you getting better along the way?

I wish you the greatest of wealth and happiness.   Collect the flecks of gold of life.  Enjoy the great wealth from these small and simple things done well over time.  You can accumulate great wealth… beyond your dreams.

The education system that trained you for your job may be the very cause of your online business challenges!

Creativity and the ability to respond to the changes in the market place really are the skills needed for you and your business to have success online. It is likely your education taught you to color in the lines. It taught you to comply with the direction of you “supervisor” – the teacher. It taught you to work to their rules in their ways so you could get your reward – the grade. Consider the findings of Sir Ken Robinson as he shares what “education” has done for creativity.

We need creativity to operate a business. This is so different from the skills we were taught in our schools. Our education may not have given us the skills required for online business success. Online, you need sensitivity to the needs of your audience and the information, products and services you provided. You need to be creative in making the right match to the correct audience. You also need to get creative in the packaging of your offering to meet the needs of your customers.

You need to work smart to get the best use of your time. Every problem you face and every problem your customers face needs a creative solution better than the solutions provided by your competition.

Ever wonder what you can do to break out of the limitations of your education? Now you can apply all your creativity and unique skills in solutions. Solutions for you and your customers. You need to direct your own work and your own learning. As you do expand your experiences by the way you direct your own personal learning projects YOU and not your education pave the path to your online business success.

You and I will need to be prepared to be wrong. This attitude will will allow us to discover the creativity we need to operate your business. We indeed need to rediscover the creativity we loose as we get “educated”.

You and I need to get into our right brain. We need to approach learning in ways that are different from the way we were taught as we were educated.

You and I can take back our lives and the control of our online businesses by applying the skills of self-directed learning. We need to leverage the technology and communication tools as creatively as possible to deliver solutions for our customers. As we each take charge of our own learning we become capable of reinstating our creativity

Let’s work together to break out of our educational foundations to tackle the learning needed to build your online business success story.
