How Do You Know So Much (And Other Questions From My Sister)?

My sister, Jayne turned up at my door on Friday last week while I was sat in the living room working. She was nearby and decided she’d surprise me with some lunch. As we sat topping up our calories we got on to the subject of work, when she asked me;

“Well how do you know so much about all of that stuff?”

What a great question. It’s mad really to think about all of the information that we take for granted that we know. For me I just get it when it comes to understanding how to weigh people up, spot their motivators and then apply skills of influence to have the most impact on them. I just know.

“But how did you learn it?”

It’s a bit like asking, ‘how did you learn to speak?’ there isn’t one thing that I read or did that downloaded all of this information in to my brain-sack.

I suppose the secret to all of this is that I am constantly reading books, I place an order with Amazon every week, subscribe to magazines, newsletters, invest in live events and am a member of various high-level communities that all focus on various aspects of psychology, persuasion and speaking. My personal spend on attending live developments each year has averaged £12,000 and it’s worth every penny because not only do I use what I learn in my business, but I can pass on this information to my clients.

It’s really about committing to your own development. So I was wondering how is it you stay on top of your game? What do you commit to regularly that means you are consistently pushing yourself forward?

I’m speaking at an event with 3 of the country’s top tier professionals, where I’ll be talking about persuasive communication in a way that no one has ever done before, my co-presenters are looking at personal success and how to achieve it, leadership and how to generate wealth through having a range of sources of income. I know I’ll learn a LOT on the day itself and you’re welcome to join us. Details, videos and details of the cities we’re bringing this to are at http://www.YourPowerToAchieve.com

So tell me, what are you doing to keep yourself up to date? If you’re not doing anything then you’re not standing still. As the world revolves it’s like a treadmill, you’re going backwards. I’d love to read your methods for Staying Current in the comments below:
