Think you don’t have time be in an entrepreneur training program? Think again. Two weeks ago, Sue and her husband were at the dentist’s. They got there a few minutes early, dutifully signed in and sat down to wait. This wasn’t a consultation appointment so they naively expected to get to business quickly. Only after twenty minutes did the lady at the front desk ask what they were there for. To cut a long story short, they waited close to an hour from the time they arrived to the time they were called back.
Every day, this scenario is being played over and over and around the world. Lot’s of time spent waiting in line at the bank, the post office, the grocery store, at the airport, picking up kids from school or fill-in-the-blanks. Have you ever tried to add up how many hours that would amount to each week? Now that’s an interesting exercise. But sometimes, it’s not how many hours you can squeeze in but rather to get things done.
Says Sue of the hour wasted at the dentist’s, “It was one of those times me and him wished we had brought along our MP3 player. We could’ve finished listening to that hour long seminar we’ve been meaning to get to.”
The MP3 Player is the business owner’s best friend. Consider it your personal entrepreneur training program.
There are many technologies that can help improve business today. But all that is not worth much if the core of a company is not strong and doesn’t continue developing. In a small business organization that means you and me. The business owner, the entrepreneur. Probably the best piece of technology you can have at your disposal is an MP3 player.
Through this tiny piece of equipment, we can make use of all that waiting time to train ourselves, understand a business process better, learn new methods of marketing and more. Sometimes, all it takes is small idea in one of the thousands of audio that helps us make quantum leaps in our business.
Audio learning is nothing new. Entrepreneurs have been listening to audio on the go ever since portable cassette players were introduced. The MP3 player is only a progression of that but a much better one since you can fit in hours upon hours of content without having to drag a whole trunk of cassettes or CD’s with you.
Another good thing is, the Internet is full of audio learning materials you can often download for free. From podcasts to audio books, seminar recordings to meeting recordings. Here are some sites to get started on a personal entrepreneur training program quickly:
