The Best Advice This Week I Got From My Barber
(Page 1 of 4 )
I went to my barber a few days ago. We talked about his hobby, which is playing poker, and his nephew who is a boxer, and about my job and my kids, etc., etc.I told him where my son, a high school senior, wants to go to college. It is a rather expensive private school in the city where we live. Jerry, my barber, said he knows several people that attend and work at this college, and that he believes it is an excellent school. And then he said something that is very true.
"If I stop learning, then I am through. I've been a barber for forty years and I still am learning." He then related a story about a former customer. This fellow came into the shop one day and said "I want you to cut my hair the same way every time I come in." The conversation continues:
Jerry: "I've been cutting your hair for years. Isn't it always the same?"
Customer: "You never use the same method. I want you to cut it using the same method."
Jerry: "Doesn't it come out the same every time?"
Customer: "Yes, but I want it cut the same way every time."
Jerry says to me "I know several ways to cut hair and I am always learning more. If it comes out the way he likes it, what difference does it make how I cut it."
The need to continue learning applies to your home business as well. As the online market changes, so do your marketing and promotion techniques. There are new products and affiliate opportunities to look for.
