People who take ownership of their personal growth receive salary increases 2.5 times higher than those who don"t actively invest in themselves. • Professional growth requires personal investment - no one is more invested in your career than you • Mastery is never "one and done" - continuous improvement requires ongoing learning and application • Beware of "overconsumption" where you take in too much information without acting on it • Use a simple 5-step framework to generate forward progress: capture key takeaways, prioritize what matters, break into action steps, schedule time, and find accountability • What gets scheduled gets done - treat your development time as seriously as client meetings • "The best investment you"ll ever make is in yourself." - Warren Buffett What"s one skill you"ve been putting off learning? What resource could help you develop it? Most importantly, what action will you take this week to move forward?
