Learn more to earn more

A simple idea to move to your next level: To earn more you must learn more. The compensation you receive from your employer will be determined by the value you add.
To earn more, learn more. Outread your competition. Out-study them. Out-improve them. Out-succeed them. I remember when I was a lawyer, just starting my professional career. I asked the top lawyer at the firm what I needed to do to ensure a sustained career there. I’ve never forgotten his reply: “Robin, be so knowledgeable, competent and brilliant at what you do that this firm can’t run without you. Become indispensable.”
Spectacular advice.

Awareness precedes choice which precedes results. As you learn what the best do, you will develop new awareness. With better awareness, you will make better choices. And with better choices, you are certain to see better results. Investing in learning and getting your skills to world class is the smartest investment you’ll ever make.

Master your craft and you’ll get to greatness. Please don’t tell me you are too busy to spend at least 60 minutes a day learning. Some of the busiest people I know read or listen to CDs or do online training for at least an hour a day.

A lot of people are too busy being busy. Shift from being busy to getting results. At robinsharma.com, you will find a rich source of resources to help you become a lifelong learner, including my blog, free podcasts, a listing of my favorite books, and a wealth of other knowledge tools to speed you to your best. Investing in learning and getting your skill to world class is the smartest investment you’ll ever make.

So take the first step today. Rather than watching TV tonight, make the time to read.
Learn what the superstars in your profession do to stay on top. Learn how to create greater wellness in your life. Learn how to master your time. Learn how to live your highest life.
