Never Stop Learning How to Run your Karate School Better

 No matter how much you know – there's a lot more to be learned.

Are you an AGGRESSIVE student?

How many books have you read this year? (non-fiction)

Do you take notes when you read?

Do you write in the books – jot ideas – implementation strategies?

Do you ever reread a book – 2, 3, 5, or 10 times?

Do you just LOVE Amazon.com or your local Barnes and Noble or Borders?

How many Biographies have you read?

How many audio tapes have you purchased? and listened to ?

Are you on the Nightingale-Conant preferred customers list?

Do you get ANY industry specific information you can get?

Do you subscribe to all of our industry's school materials?

How many video tapes have your purchased and watched ?

How many curriculum oriented tapes that you have?

How about Zig, Jay Abraham, Tony Robbins, Denis Waitly?

Do you go to many seminars ?

Do you go to every industry specific seminar you can find?

How much would you spend for a seminar?

Would $2,000, $3,000, $5,000 or $10,000 be too much? Why?

What types of seminars would you – and have you attended. Is it time

To “get out of your box” and explore other subjects.

Have you thought about going back to college?

Would a BA, BS, MA, MS, or MBA be helpful?

Do you have any MENTORS?

How often do you talk to that individual?

Do you know what they are good at and weak at?

How's your peer networking?

Do you talk with at least 3 people per week who are doing something better than you are?

Do you share ideas – and, gain them regularly?

Do you talk to successful people outside your “normal” circle of acquaintances?

The most successful people I know do several things religiously :

1. Read biographies of successful people.
2. Read a lot.
3. Keep a dictionary on their desk and look up words that they are not sure of consistently.
4. Break out of their “paradigm” to look at things in new ways.
5. Talk to people who are more successful than they are.
6. Listen more than they talk.

As soon as you stop being a student – you stop growing. Look for new information AND apply it to your business and life. Avoid learning just for it's own sake but apply that information as well – quickly.
