A wise person learns from experience.
A wiser person learns from other people's experiences.
As Sir Isaac Newton said, "If I have seen far, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
" As a new home-based entrepreneur, you will encounter many occasions to take risks, make mistakes, and hopefully learn from them and create new skills and knowledge for yourself.
It is through trial and error you become someone different - someone with experience, understanding, foresight and intestinal fortitude.
You are not only building a business, but more importantly are building a better You.
Experience is the best teacher because through it you are required to take on new beliefs, which in turn, guide you to your future experiences.
A wise person looks for the lesson in each experience, failure, victory and challenge so he or she can learn from it and choose to do more of the same or make adjustments to create a different and more desirable outcome.
Every single result you create serves as feedback on how you're doing.
If you don't like the results you see in your life and business, you know changes are necessary.
One thing that slows the progress of success, particularly of home business owners, is the mindset that they have to do everything alone.
A belief I encourage you to adopt as a home-based entrepreneur, is that just because you are in business by yourself, doesn't mean you have to do it alone and that includes learning from mistakes.
History is filled with lessons learned by others who have already gone before us and today there are individuals who are either steps or miles ahead of you on the journey to success.
Someone has already made almost every mistake you can possibly make and the advantage you have today over those of decades ago is that you now have easy access to the lessons learned.
You can fast track your journey to success by tapping into the wisdom of those who have already learned the hard way and are willing to share their knowledge with you.
One of the most important things you can do for yourself is commit an hour every day to learning from someone who has already achieved what you dream for yourself.
Attend workshops, join programs, seek out a mentor, join or form a mastermind group, read voraciously, and throughout it all look for the lessons already learned.
The Internet places at your fingertips unlimited access to knowledge.
Thought leaders, business leaders and success experts provide vast quantities of information through e-books, newsletters, teleclasses, and online programs.
Much of this can also be accessed at no cost.
Make learning through others' experiences a part of your success strategy.
By committing just one hour a day to studying and learning from others, you will create the equivalent of nine forty-hour weeks of focused learning in one year.
Very few people are willing to make this commitment even though it remarkably lowers the learning curve and accelerates achievement.
It all boils down to commitment.
If you truly want to create success with your home business, make the commitment to dedicate one hour every day to learning through others.
By doing so, you will learn how to make smarter decisions sooner and will flatten your learning curve dramatically.
