Synopsis
Ben Franklin once said, “If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the highest return.”
Most people only pay lip service to education. Dr. Misner is convinced this is the reason that 50% of businesses fail in their first three years. Success requires that you embrace a culture of learning and work on your business.
Action Item
Look at your financials. What have you spent for ongoing business education? How much time have you spent on free educational resources like this podcast?
If you don’t have a regular commitment to educational activities, go out and attend a seminar, subscribe to a podcast, or read a book.
If you go to Networking Now and enter the code “referralinstitute” you’ll get six months’ free membership.
