Must train. Must learn. Must read. Must ignore texts!!!
My advice is to get out of any training program what it is worth to you and your future. You sign up for and commit yourself to development through training. What got you to the starting day of the training program is irrelevant. Now that you’ve signed up, you’ve enlisted in a program that is going to make demands upon you and your future success. It will not care what your personal schedule is and doesn’t care if you have an excuse or not.
Performance is what wins you a successful completion. The right attitude, as displayed by your participation, positive input and personal growth, is the most crucial prerequisite to lasting till the end and fulfilling the training program objectives. Hopefully, you even finish strong and use the training in your personal life, too.
Making a Big Impact on Your Life
You came here for training that will make a big impact on your life. That will take time and effort. When you get to a point where you feel as if there is no more you can absorb, or study, or practice, and you feel like giving up, remember: You are not being asked to do something that others, before you, haven’t done.
That people right beside you aren’t doing now. Also, call to mind the benefits reached by those that have finished this program. Remember that those same benefits and achievements are the reason you’re here. You’ve already decided that you’ve come for something worthwhile. Take this brief period of your life to work real hard. Make sure that you don’t leave without achieving what you came for.
Retain This Knowledge – You’re Going To Use It
This isn’t high school. This is a program that teaches specific techniques, which follow instructions, which need to be adhered to in order to achieve reliable and guarantee-able results every time. Every element of what you learn is inter-dependent upon each other. In order to use this knowledge in the real world it has to be retained. You’re not just after a certificate of knowledge, you’ll need to use and apply what you’ve learned.
Build Friends, Contacts, And Get The Bigger Picture
Build that network and get folks you can depend on for life.
Here you’ll meet people who’ve reached the same conclusion you have regarding the benefits of completing this program. They’re your greatest allies in getting through this program and in building a network of like-minded business contacts for the future. Everyone is encouraged to get to know each other on a first name basis.
Share your experiences so that others can learn from you and listen when others tell their stories. Comparing notes and putting your knowledge with that of other people can help bridge gaps in your understanding. Listening to the stories of old timers peppered with insight, or the incredible episodes of people your own age gives wisdom.
Take the Training With You
When you leave whatever training program you’re in, after completing this program successfully, you can be proud of what you’ve done. It’ll be all right to proclaim yourself an expert and you can be proud to cite this institution with your credentials; just as the training organization would be proud to have trained you.
So gear up for the hard road. Some people starting right now won’t make it – at least, not the first time. When it’s all completed, you can walk into your next big career deciding meeting feeling an inch taller and wider around the shoulders. Oh and go ahead and know that for your next promotion or performance appraisal, you can definitely ask for more money when you get some training under your belt.
