Shelfware. MP3 audio. E-files. CLE course material. An offer of free coaching or consult. Chances are you have a relevant resource at your fingertips, but you’ve forgotten about it. December is a good month to revisit what you learned, to be sure that you’re using what you know! I make my living because knowing what to do isn’t the whole story about success- success also requires action, applying what you know on a consistent basis. If everyone did what they learned in seminars or read in books or heard from experts- I wouldn’t be adding any value!

That said- my message today is that you might be overlooking something valuable that you already own. Block out some time on an afternoon when you need a break. Survey the material that attracted you at some point in the  year. Pick up the book. Reread the article. Skim the newsletters. Review the AV. Maybe there’s something you skipped because it wasn’t relevant at the time. Maybe you thought you’d get back to something when the timing was right. End of year is a right time.

Review the resources you’ve already invested in, use them- or if you have something better or they aren’t valuable anymore, lose them.
