Or…what we sow, we reap!
In the last two days, several articles have appeared in the Australian media about how the standard of basic reading, writing and arithmetic has dropped across Australia.
What has become abundantly clear is, governments and businesses in Australia now expect us to have high standards of these basic skills. And they are prepared to pay for them.
At the same time, we are hearing about how tough it is out there – prices for basic items are going up (which they are) and we are finding it harder to make ends meet.
The question should be asked, are we prepared to stop digging to get out of the hole?
It should be a must to grow ourselves, in order to grow our businesses, careers and income!! After all, what we sow, we reap… If our standards drop, our results will drop!!
It is important to prepare the soil and improve its productive capacity BEFORE we sow; in this case your mind. This is rarely talked about.
Good quality seed will only grow on well prepared soil. So how can we develop our soil?
As an example, I created my iPod University; learning material packed onto my iPod to listen to on public transport or a CD that I can listen to while driving in the car or travelling by public transport. My conscious mind may not pick it up, but my subconscious mind will – thus improving the fertility of the soil.

Good seeds in poor soil will not grow!. Three steps to increase your soil fertility
· Make friends with your local library –your taxes have already paid for these wonderful facilities so use them for your growth.
· Improve your expertise with current technologies – being unfamiliar with Microsoft or Apple software today is no excuse!!
· Explore something that you would not normally look at – you will be astounded by what you discover.
Sow on quality fertile soil – and the harvest will be awesome. What would be the cost to you if you did not?
