Listen...you could write an entire book filled with amazing ideas right now, and in twelve months, you'd literally be standing in the exact same spot. Why is that? Because having great ideas and doing something about them are two different things.
You can go to all the seminars. Listen to all the experts. Write down all the notes. Walk away feeling pumped and excited. But if you're still running around like a chicken with its head cut off inside of your business when you return?
All those ideas mean, don't they? Let me give it to you straight.
Everything does not have to be perfect the first time out of the gate.
Try. Observe. Adjust. Iterate. Above all else, STOP judging your results based upon someone else's progress! You have no clue where he/she began. What obstacles he has faced. Or how many months/years of work went into becoming proficient at whatever it is. Comparing yourself to someone else is a completely pointless exercise.
The only person you need to compare yourself to is last month's version of yourself.
Have you made better decisions? Implemented systems that used to intimidate you? Approached challenges in ways you never would have even considered before? Then congratulations! You're moving forward!
Note-taking? Idea gathering? Motivation? Sure, all those are good.
Just make sure you're putting those ideas INTO ACTION!
What's one thing you learned recently that you're finally going to implement?
