| Dear John, Dad taught me that you can’t push a rope, you can’t put toothpaste back in a tube, and you can’t saw sawdust. Dad's words here are understood by all. You are either moving closer to your personal success, or further from it. Are you stuck in the past or focused on the future? There are keys to constantly improving your personal level of success ( and business, too ). The Will, Skill, and Refill. This is how it works: Will—this is the “want to.” This is the heart, the desire, the attitude, the passion that people have. Skill—this is the “how to.” This is the skill, the process, the technical expertise that people have. Refill—this is reinforcing the Will and Skill. There is no such thing as “one and done” training and development. Will and Skill must be developed and reinforced daily. Take the Will away from any person and you will have at best someone who is just taking up space, and at worst someone who is a real drain on their company and their family. Without Skill, no matter what you do, you will create an endless cycle of frustration. Without Refill it is impossible to maintain the difference-making levels of Will and Skill you need to achieve the level of success you desire. This means that you have to continue, constantly, to grow and groom yourself. This philosophy is basically the definition of self care. Or what I like to call this season, Self-Love.
