As property investors/entrepreneurs, we are constantly learning with the aim of achieving our goals. Whether we’re learning informally through reading or listening to a podcast, or in an educational setting like a webinar or course, so many experiences will continue to provide new and important information that can enhance our knowledge, and potentially our results and our lives.
However, there’s a big difference between absorbing information and putting what you’ve learned into practice. Without doing the latter, the information and training you’ve received will go to waste, so it’s essential to have a strategy for implementing what you learn.
Here we are at the half-way point in the year and if you read my post last week you will have seen the powerful review process and implementation plan I shared. Whether you invested the time to complete that or not, I’m sure just knowing we are halfway through the year prompts you to reflect on where you stand with implementing your goal related actions from the things you’ve previously learned.
[For those who missed it, I highly recommend review last quarter and follow these steps to plan Q3 – here’s the link: http://adaeroproperty.com/download/quarterly-review-and-planning-steps-for-next-quarter/ ]
So how good are you at actually implementing what you learn in order to progress your property endeavours? It’s a challenging thing to measure, but let’s give it a go. Everyone loves a bit of self discovery, so to this end I’ve created a little self assessment to help measure your ability to implement.
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THIS?
*Most of us have room for improvement however we can’t improve what we have not measured.
*To see how effective you are, and if you’re already great, brilliant – acknowledge it and double down 😁🙌.
*To know that our ability to implement is not a fixed set point, but rather it’s like a muscle that can be intentionally trained to massively grow and improve.
*To grow your self awareness and confidence – little tests like this one are great tools for better understanding oneself, and with that comes confidence and a greater understanding of who we are and who we want to become.
SELF DISCOVERY QUESTIONS
Here are 7 questions you need to answer honestly by scoring yourself on a scale of 1-4 where the following scoring applies:
1- I’ve never done this before
2- I occasionally do this
3- I actually do this quite a lot
4- This is exactly what I do everytime
Q1. I am clear on my WHY and on my highest values, and these act as a filter for selecting what I choose to learn and implement.
Q2. When I complete a course, I create a mini action plan to implement the top ideas and I schedule time to work on them in my diary.
Q3. Even though I might feel overwhelmed after a course or event, I’m good at defining the first small step to get me started on implementing my takeaways.
Q4. I have a weekly and daily routine that includes reviewing, planning and blocking out focus time for actioning tasks from the plan.
Q5. I am quick to turn learning into action by seeking real life situations to interact with the market place and learn from feedback/mistakes.
Q6. I increase my chances of completing the tasks I set by layering in accountability with a coach/mentor/friend who cares about my journey.
Q7. I regularly meet with high performing action takers because being around them helps me set a higher level of expectation for myself.
