Lessons on Entrepreneuring, part 4

Leadership Feb 28, 2009 1 Comment

As you set out on your journey of “new”, whether it be a new business, a new ministry, a new church, even a new product, you need to learn that you have more to learn.

Lesson 4: There’s no excuse for not learning.

I heard Andy Stanley say recently that he constantly learns from reading books.  He is constantly learning?!!  I guess that shows why he is so freaking smart huh?  I have a list of books that I want to read for the year and broken down to this quarter.  Learning has its cost though.  It cost time.  It cost money.  If you want to really make a difference, you will need to pay the price.  It will mean reading instead of watching TV.  It will mean getting up earlier instead of sleeping. It will mean eating pb&j  over going out to eat so you can buy a book.  It will mean getting up at 5 and driving 2.5 hours for a one day seminar and driving 2.5 hours home that night.

Where are you getting your learning from?  What books are you reading?  What blogs are you reading? What conferences are you attending?
