New Information Just Walks In The Door – If You Have The Ears To Hear

New information, valuable information, is knocking on your door and tapping on the window of your business all the time. All you need is the eyes to see it and the ears to hear it.

The other day, some people walked into my office with a whole lot of new information that I desperately needed. They were coming to sell me something.

It twigged very quickly for me that what they had on offer was something that I couldn’t use, and I told them so.

However, unknown to them, they inadvertently gave me everything I needed to design a whole new product and service that I am currently working on in a completely different context.

As they spoke enthusiastically about themselves and what they were doing, I was taking copious notes and asking more and more questions. They freely gave me what I was looking for. I thanked them for their time and the information that they had imparted to me and wished them well.

In business, you must always be listening to everything and everyone and applying what you are hearing and seeing to your own circumstances. Having this kind of mindset breeds success.
