Taking Action

One of my favourite authors is Seth Godin; he writes insightful books and his blog posts are quick and thought provoking. In a recent post titled "Simple Approach" he made this suggestion:

"The data, the dashboard, the comments, the statuses, the likes, the rankings:

Check them half as often and do twice as much with what you learn.

Then, after you've gotten good at that, repeat the math:

Check them half as often and do twice as much with what you learn."

What I liked about the tip was that it focuses on taking action once you learn something. Understand your analytics - learn, and do something! Then tighten the process to become more efficient.

As a training company, we are in the business of providing information, tools and templates that inspire action. Yet, like a pile of data, if you don't take action, your investment is limited. You don't have to change the world, but one step at a time, engage, shift, apply and move forward.
