What's the point of learning if we never apply it? An easy thing to do, but when we apply what we learn life get's alot easier and much more pleasant. Let me explain...

If I had to choose just one important learning experience over the past year it would be the increasing awareness of giving 100% to my wife, instead of the traditional 50% you hear about. You know the drill ... the wife gives 50% and the husband gives 50% and you get a 100% marriage. Sounds logical, but what if both gave 100% to each other?

My 100% this past year has come from that moment in time when you know you're spouse has 'figured you out' and you have a choice to make. You can either deny 'it' and effortlessly defend yourself or you can pause, admit your own selfishness, and put your spouse ahead of yourself. That's closer to 100% than 50%. Try it yourself this coming year and see the difference it can make in your marriage!

Same can go for all of us in business as well. Not so much the example I've provided, but the principal of Learn and Apply. How often do we learn something and just keep doing the same thing over and over not learning from our mistakes. Hopefully, not too often. If you are STOP. Make a difference in your business in 2006.

Until next time ... Activity does not always equal progress!
