Learning is a good thing though, right? Well yes it is, but it shouldn’t be done at the expense of growing our business. It’s all too easy for us to fall in to the trap of reading ebooks, signing up for courses and webinars that will teach how to do this that and the other for our online businesses.

And it makes us feel very active. We spend the day learning all this new stuff and we feel like we’ve accomplished something, but in all honesty we’ve just wasted away a day without growing our business one little bit.

Now I’m not suggesting that we never take time to learn new tactics and strategies for our business, or spend time keeping abreast of the latest developments in our field whatever it may be. But we need to be very selective in what we spend our valuable time learning.

Yes, learning is good, but it shouldn’t be done at the expense of growing the business. This is why it is essential to plan each day, each week, each month so that you can be sure you are allocating time to tasks that will grow your business and make you more money FIRST, then once those tasks have been done you can allocate time to reading an ebook or browsing through forums for neat new ideas.

Don’t get bogged down with learning, if you’ve been taking course after course and are still not making any money online, you’re not spending enough time on tasks that are building your business.
