It's Tempting to Simplify Things but Better to Learn

It’s tempting to simplify things to a point where we think we already know how they work. It’s easy to think the reason people give up is because they are lazy… or the reason they get promotions is because they have an unfair “in” with the supervisor. It’s terribly misleading to hold strong opinions about why things happen as they do.

Your success is far more dependent on your own actions … and through new learning you do … than on how other people act, think or reward you. You will meet failure so expect it. Opportunity is the flipside of difficulty … though … for those who get ahead …. That’s because they choose to go after it…. How about you?

John Peterman saw himself running a unique catalogue to draw on people’s imagination and help them to find things that are hard to find. The J Peterman Company found a way to learn from  mistakes he made and create success from the failures. John Peterman tells how he concentrated on his goal rather than on errors and financial hardships – and he kept learning … until his company floated into the winner’s circle!

It wasn’t easy. Peterman went to thirty-five  investors … and all thirty-five told him his idea would lose money … They all said his business goal was a waste of his time. The thirty-sixth person invested one million dollars.

Are you just around a sharp corner from learning about that one opportunity that could  up your ante for success?  What’s keeping you from getting there and what could you learn to do differently to hit your mark?
