Too Much Of Nothing? You May Be Practicing Educated Procrastination
Have you ever spent a great deal of time learning about something, only in the end, to not apply it and have very little to show for it? If you are truly trying to move forward in your business, then the answer will be yes. That’s the good news!
Education for many is a solution to a problem or a challenge in growing small business. Yet, small business growth is not so much about what you learn as it is about applying what you have learned. And, since education takes time it is critical for you to be learning things that you are going to apply.
The bad news: If you aren’t learning things that you will apply, then you are actually hurting yourself.
Why? Since education takes time, and time is finite, education that is not on purpose causes you to procrastinate and keeps you from doing things that would benefit your business.
Educated procrastination is not a successful performance strategy. It eats up time and can lead to failure. Growing small business is about having education that is on purpose. If your education is not on purpose you will end up with “too much of nothing.”
