Sometimes it’s the little things that catch your attention. Yesterday I was catching up with one of the entrepreneurs in our online Grow to Scale program:

“I am learning a lot, I am even thinking about making changes to how I set up my business.”

Of course it’s always nice to hear someone is enjoying the program, but when she said this I realised that many people expect learning to be about adding knowledge, more than challenging their current beliefs; in other words: we tend to learn with the expectation to expand our minds, not to change it.

Learning is not the same as consuming information though: it is putting your mind to task in asking yourself: how does this sit with what I already know? Does this change anything?

SPARK OF THE DAY

Real learning starts when you don’t have an answer right away, but need some time to reflect, process and translate now back to your reality… most of the time it’s not easy, but the results will therefor be all the more gratifying!

So search to challenge your mind, not just to expand it…
