Promote Your Growth Through Learning

My Journey in the Footwear Industry that lead me to Zappos #4

So, in Blog #3, I talked about trusting your gut to find success. In this blog I will talk about how to promote your growth through learning.

How much time does it take to perfect a task? Usually people strive for perfection so what does it take to get there?

Malcolm Gladwell wrote in his book “Outliers” that it takes 10,000 hours to be an expert in something. While that is helpful, it’s not the entire answer to becoming great at something. It really boils down to how you go about it.

I read an interesting story on Medium : Deliberate Practice — The Fastest Way to Improve Your Skills which goes on to say is another way to achieve greatness.

It really boils down to practice. And more practice. I feel it’s very helpful to know your business inside and out and learn as much as you can, but do we truly ever “master” retail?

It is constantly changing. To keep up with the trends and ever changing landscape, it is an ongoing learning process. Keeping up with trends always gives you a “leg up” on the competition, if you’re on top of things. But you always need be open to learn new ways or different ideas.
