I am constantly amazed at how little self education business owners do.  And it shows in their results.  Ninety percent of entrepreneurs have not gone to a single business seminar since they started their business.  For some reason they would rather struggle with their business day after day, year after year, then take 2 or 3 days out of their life to learn how to do things better.  There’s really no excuse, but here are some of them I hear:

Are you struggling to reach your goals in business? Most people are. The fact is the vast majority of business owners fall well short of their own goals. Try as they may, they just can’t seem to get the sales they need to grow their business.

With the lightning fast rise of companies like Facebook and Instagram, it’s easy to feel disheartened about the growth of your own business.  Many entrepreneurs feel that compared to the sky rocketing internet companies featured on the covers of business magazines that they are failures.

Last weekend I went to one of the world’s biggest markets.  Over 2500 vendors sell their wares every week at the Rosebowl Flea Market in Pasadena, California.  You can buy almost anything, all of it old or used.

This is something most executives and entrepreneurs rarely think about.  But in my opinion there’s a strong correlation between a tidy environment and business wealth.  In fact I’d go far as to say, if we perform in a consistently untidy environment we condemn ourselves to achieving at a much lower level than we are capable of.
