The common ingredient of success in organizations of all sizes is their ability to continue to evolve, adapt, learn and improve. As the leader of your enterprise you must build your own habit of continuing development through business skill training. You must adopt the habit of self improvement in all areas of your life -- regardless your age -- at the very start of your enterprise and your continuing journey. Self improvement will be the fuel for your journey. If you put it off now – you just will not find the time in the future. Just tell yourself this: “If it is to be, it’s up to me.”

In our regular business skill training series we have a number of sessions that address the attitudes needed for success in life. Why? Because attitude is critical to our business success (and our success in life). A study conducted by Harvard and Stanford Universities asked successful business managers which areas were most important to professional performance: skills, knowledge, attitude. The results: skills (5%), knowledge (10% ) and attitude (85%).

What are the right attitudes? Napoleon Hill in his classic book Think and Grow Rich discusses the attitudes necessary for business success. You must “think right” to be successful. In his book Keys to Success he presents 17 principles of personal achievement outlined. I kicked off my January training session each year referencing his principles as a framework for lifetime self improvement and pass out a (reduced size) copy that participants can reference in a daily self improvement exercise.

There are many excellent motivational personalities who have expanded upon what basically is Napoleon Hill’s framework for self directed business skill training. I used a number of them when I was conducting my own management training sessions.
