Set Up a Learning Resource at Home and at Your Place of Business with Both Personal and Professional Development Materials by Denis Waitley

Every office conference, lunch, exercise, and recreation room should be filled with personal enrichment materials including videos, audios, books, magazines, newsletters, software, TV and Internet programming.

Convert a special area of your home into a learning center, especially if you have children. The trend globally is to combine a coffeehouse like Starbucks with bookstores like Barnes & Noble to create a relaxing learning environment. In the twenty-first century, gaining knowledge will blend into our lives as part of our leisure time. There are several ways to create more of an ongoing learning environment at your place of business. Many companies are providing TV and Internet access to personal development programming, asking employees to volunteer to read a specific trade or business magazine and clip or scan articles relevant to the organization. Regular e-mail dispersals are also popular.

In today’s fast-forward, knowledge-based world, if you’re not moving ahead, you are falling behind.

Action Idea: Make two files in your computer: one for personal development and one for professional development. Download MP3 files, articles and e-mails that educate and inspire you in these files. You can also scan articles from magazines into these files. Look at these files at least once per week.

Also subscribe to Internet-based or TV-based personal development programming and purchase CDs, DVDs and books for your personal and professional development library.

—Denis Waitley

From Denis Waitley’s newsletter, wow what a powerful thing. Those that learn get ahead, whist those who say no have finished my education fall behind. We are always learning.

"Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all."
Norman Vincent Peale
1898-1993, Author of The Power of Positive Thinking

"A vision is not just a picture of what could be; it is an appeal to our better selves, a call to become something more."
