How much time do you spend honing your skills or learning new techniques?
It’s something that’s as important in business as it is in sport – yet how many of us ‘train’ every day?
My thoughts were drawn to this after speaking with delegates at the recent Informatics Ventures event at Edinburgh Business School. Surrounded by impressive, talented entrepreneurs, I became aware that every one had taken time out of their business to build their knowledge and skills. Two whole days!
Maybe it helped that the course leader was the superb Bill Aulet from MIT’s Sloan School of Management. Whatever the attraction, the bottom-line is that they each realise the importance of focused time ON the issues facing growing business.
So, if you’re waiting for a quiet day, a better time or any other unattainable point in the future, stop now and make the time!
