Today I'm going to talk about a mistake that I see people make again and again in not just their businesses but in other areas of their lives as well. I see people who spend a lot of time and effort preparing, learning, and educating themselves on what they need to do, but then not actually doing the things they've learned. I think a lot of times people actually get confused and mistake the gaining of knowledge of the application of that knowledge. When learning gets mistaken for action, people are often confused about why they didn't get the results they were looking for, but they fail to realize that they actually didn't put their learning into action. This applies heavily in the business world but also application to areas of life such as relationships. You might know exactly what steps you need to take to be a better spouse or partner, but if you're not changing your behaviour, you're not going to see results. In this episode I'll share more about how I see this play out in people's lives and what you should do about it if you catch yourself in the position of learning but not doing.
In this episode, we'll cover:
-Why educating and preparing yourself is not enough
-You need to start doing the thing
-Why you might not be getting the results you're hoping for
-How this principle applies to other areas of life
-Why imperfect action is better than "expertise"
-Expect to make mistakes
-The doing is the learning
