Do you suffer from Competence Delusion?keynotemotivationalspeakers.blogspot.com /2013/11/do-you-suf f er- f rom-competence-delusion.html

It is truly astounding to see how many people leave school or university, never to touch a book to attempt to learnanything new, ever again. It is time to rid yourself of competence delusion and to become aware of the challenges,which are potentially affecting your knowledge, skill and abilities. The first challenge you face, once you commit to life-long learning and growth, is to not become overwhelmed by the endless data and the variety of training coursesavailable. To get started, you need to take a look at your vision for the future and decide what skills, knowledge andnew abilities will support you to achieve it.Act ion Idea: Invest some time today, to identify the skills, knowledge and abilities you need to acquire in the next 12months, 3 years, 5 years and then create a plan around how you intend to acquire those skills, within those time frames.There is just not enough t ime AvailableThe second challenge you face is that nagging feeling that you are just too busy to make the time necessary to allocateany time to your personal growth. My experience has shown me that it is never a shortage of time most peopleexperience. It is simply a lack of commitment. All the people I have met, who have continued to expand theircompetencies, seem to have plenty of time available. They are the ones, who despite a seemingly huge workloads,just seem to get so much more done.These achievers have an abundant mindset and they have developed a supporting mindset around how to use theiravailable time more efficiently and effectively. The effective person does the right things and the efficient does thosethings right. As you invest more time into your personal development, you too will become more efficient, efficient andsuccessful. Have you noticed how successful people seem to have time to do more? They seem to live in anuncluttered world, where they appear to make fewer mistakes. Well that successful person could be you. They seemmore effective and efficient, because their competence makes them so. Their competence comes from theircommitment towards their personal growth. What is your commitment to your personal growth?Act ion Idea: Invest time today to schedule time to invest into your personal development every day. I recommend aminimum of one hour a day, more if possible. This investment will deliver greater returns than any other investment youwill ever make.Making t ime to growSo you push the snooze button every day and get that extra ten minutes of sleep. Imagine that instead of pushing thesnooze button, you woke up and read an educational book instead. That means that you could read about five pages aday, 1825 pages a year, which equates to about 8 – 9 educational books a year.How about driving around in your car, do you waste all that time listening to the radio? Well it is estimated that theaverage person spends about 500 hours a year commuting in their car. That equates to two semesters at university.Imagine, if you used that time to listen to educational audio books. Do you think two semesters at university every yearcould change the trajectory of your life? Do you still think you do not have enough time to invest into your personalgrowth?It is now your time to start drinking from the fountain of wisdom. Stop stumbling through life, only occasionally gargling atthe fountain, learning little and continuing to remain trapped in average. Now is your time to shine. All it requires is a newsuccess habit. One focused on you and your personal growth and the way your future will turn out is very bright indeed.
