Well, when I mean lazy...I actually mean people who want to grow and develop without having to queue in traffic jams, sit on planes or stand(!) on trains.
What the web has brought is an ability for anyone to INTENTIONALLY learn and succeed. That may sound strange but sometimes I think people assume success will just come...and it won't. You need to take action to make it happen.
Here are 5 things people can do today
- Sign up to Google Reader and start subscibing to blogs (Press the orange RSS
button) in your area of interest, about leadership, about business...about different areas of life to broaden your mind for 10 minutes in a morning. - Subscribe to 3 podcasts...of course The Engaging Brand!....seriously this is huge development for me. I listen when walking between client meetings, at the gym, in the car....that way I am utilising my time in the best way possible.
- Carry a notebook around with you and each time you either don't understand or haven't heard of something, somewhere or someone write it down and Google it later.
- Join LinkedIn. From your sofa you can build your professional network, search for a job, build your expertise through answers and create a personal brand.
- Go to YouTube and search for videos on skills you need to brush up on from Excel to Presenting to Interview Techniques.
All of these are simple steps....nothing geekified! But what the web does is bring the world to you...now
AS A COMPANY THINK ABOUT HOW YOU CAN PROVIDE THAT VALUE TO THE LAZY WEBUSER!
