In the next 6-12 months, companies and their customers face tough decisions.

You want to be on the right side of those decisions when they happen.

To do that, you want to increase your insight and stay ahead of the curve.

Here's 1 practical and immediate choice you can make to tilt the odds in your favor: maximize your relevant just in time learning.

This is harder than it sounds. There are LOTs of learning sources, books, newsletters. But they are not equally valuable. Many will waste your time.

4 indicators that a learning source will help you the most  

  1. Concise not verbose - Instead of large paragraphs that make your eyes glaze over, quick bullet points and sharp insights that cut to the heart of the matter.
  2. "Best of" not "One of" - You need perspectives that challenge your thinking. Not repeats of things you've heard 100 times.
  3. Empathy not "Look at Me" - Many newsletters and influencers sound like: "I'm insanely $ucce$$ful and here's my 3 easy steps"  If you are working for change, its hard. You want to learn from people who understand the challenges you face and have learned proven ways to overcome them.  
  4. Skin in the game not sideline commentary - Who is writing this? Is this their life's work? What do they have to lose if they're wrong? This makes a big difference.

⏱ Bottom Line: Know what your time is worth. Invest in relevant just in time expertise that saves you time and makes you more effective and influential.
