Great Escape Podcast episode 28 - Never Stop Learning

Now this is just a quick episode about learning and trying new things. On Friday last week I was at a conference with a group of entrepreneurs, and one of the group stood up and gave a talk on email marketing, and she'd got a particular spin on how to do it. And I thought that's really interesting, I've never thought about it that way, I will give that a try. So, on Saturday I sat down, I read a sequence of five emails, and I kicked it off to a list of what I thought were people who'd signed up for one of my freebie products, but then were no longer interested in the big product that I got to sell. And the first email went out on Saturday, the second one on Monday and the third one went out today, Wednesday. So far, I've had £10,000, which is what, $13,000 worth of sales, from a list of people that I thought were no longer interested in my products, and it just got me thinking. What's changed, what's different? The only thing that's different is my attitude, my thinking and about those people. They were still interested in the product that I had to sell. They just needed reminding or they just needed encouraging, or they just needed a little more information, or a little bit more reassurance that the product was real. So, it was fascinating to realize that, in that sense, the only thing that was holding me back was my attitude to the way I wanted that business to grown. Never stop learning. Always, always look at what other people have to teach. And to quote Bruce Lee, "Read everything, "absorb what is useful, "reject what is useless, "and add what is distinctively your own."
