Hi, this is Robert Naini, your Spray Foam Advisor, and when it comes to learning, what if you had the opportunity to learn about investing from Warren Buffett, or about management from Jack Welch, or about the path to greatness from Michael Jordan?
What if you had the chance to learn directly from them about the things that they know and what these experts have learned in their life?
You have this opportunity every day to learn from giants that have come before us, giants that have that have studied and have gained knowledge and wisdom that we haven’t yet gained.
You have the ability every day to learn from others who have done it before you and the way we do that is through books.
By reading books we can learn from Michael Jordan, he can teach us his philosophies and his guidance on how to pursue and achieve excellence.
We can learn from experts, like Chet Holmes, he wrote my favorite book about sales, called the Ultimate Sales Machine. He gives guidance and advice on how to achieve high levels of sales and how to be a high performer no matter what product you’re repping.
The amount of information we have available in today’s day and age is mind boggling.
It is your responsibility to find the information that is going to make you better and that is going to improve your skills.
Do you want to know about management? Jack Welch is my number one recommendation when it comes to management, go study his books.
Do you want to know about investing? Warren Buffett is brilliant when it comes to investing.
Look for people who have done it before, people who have had success in the area that you are interested in learning about.
Whether it’s marketing, sales, operations, management, ownership, creating a business, or growing a business, there are books on all of these topics, and you can learn from them.
This is an opportunity to reach into someone else’s mind and gain an understanding of what they have learned without you having to make the same mistakes and go through the same experiences as them.
And of course, books give us the great ability to reach back into the past and learn from those who have come before us, like Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Thomas Edison, some of history’s greats.
When you are searching for knowledge, when you’re looking for information, go to books and be consistent overtime. All you have to do is read 10 pages a day and if you read 10 pages a day over the course of a year, even if you take a couple days off each week, you can read over 2500 pages in a year – this could easily be 5 to 10 books each year, which could be equivalent of a semester in college on a specific topic.
If books are not really your style, you can instead focus on videos for learning information.
I read regularly and include lots of information from my favorite books in my training videos, so here is a shameless plug, you can join the Spray Foam Advisor membership and get access to hundreds of videos across various topic areas with the focus of improving your knowledge and skills and making you a better spray foam professional.
