What do you want to get better at?

[Andy Black]

You get better at whatever you do more of.

If you want to get better at producing, then there's a good argument for producing more.

Consuming has it's place, but sometimes it's used as a comfort blanket instead of stepping outside your comfort zone.



A fellow forum member posted the comment below and I thought it was a perfect example. (I don't mean to pick on him, just to pick up on it as a good example!)

I'm not really good at talking, you have any recommended books about cold calling or selling?

You can see where his comfort zone is right? *Reading* is more comfortable to him than talking to people.

Many of us in the forum enjoy reading, and that makes perfect sense given the medium of the forum.

But just remember that if you read a lot then you'll get better at reading.

If you write a lot then you'll get better at writing.

And if you talk a lot then you'll get better at talking.


The question to ask yourself is:

"What do I want to get better at?"

​

... then *do* it.
