It takes a lot of work to become a professional or an expert at anything. Sadly, to remain an expert takes even more work.
Now that you are an expert, there is always a chance you are slipping behind new developments and best practices in the global industry, especially now that you have that high paying job and the new kinds of people and distraction the whole thing attracts to you.
One morning, you wake up and you realise you have lost it. You are no longer the expert you used to be, you are now a dinosaur, fully equipped with yesterday’s ideas that are now irrelevant as the industry has moved on.
REFLECTION
Are you up-to-speed with trends and developments in your industry or do you still rely on your knowledge from 10 years ago?
ACTION
Take all of 20 mins to quickly find thought leaders, journals, blogs, newsletters partaining to your industry and then ensure you are always in the loop and learning more.
