You Don't Know What You Don't Know

You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know

This might be one of the most powerful phrases I have ever heard. If you’ve ever stopped and really considered what it means, you know what I‘m talking about. Think about something that you have been newly exposed to recently… did you know anything about it a year ago? Did you even know it existed a year ago?

We all have things we want to know more about, things that are on our list of “ToDo’s.” Some want to study copywriting, others want to learn more about SEO, or free lead generation, etc… but think about those things specifically. Before you were involved in network marketing, did you even know any of those things existed, much less want to learn more about them?

Lynne and I attended a seminar this afternoon where we learned a long list of things that we had no previous knowledge of, and we both walked away feeling astounded by the amount of information we had just absorbed.

If there is one thing we have found in this industry, is that it is virtually impossible to go a single day without learning something. Anyone who is actively working their business, actively reaching out to other networkers, reading books, blogs, newsletters and articles will find themselves constantly exposed to volumes upon volumes of topics that they had no previous exposure to.

It’s GREAT!!

That type of knowledge opens new doors and new possibilities. For example, the conference that we attended today opened our eyes to totally new opportunities for our future, things we had never heard of or thought of. Things that could have a major impact on our lives in the years to come… things that, 24 hours ago, we had no idea even existed. It’s astounding.

You don’t know what you don’t know.

There are so many things in this world that we all have yet to be exposed to. So many things we have yet to learn. Think of all the things you know now that you didn’t know anything about a year ago. Really think about it. How have those experiences changed you or your business? Now think about how much information you will be exposed to over the next year. And the next. And so on. Simply accepting the fact that none of us know what we don’t know, and being open to new things that come our way, offers an unlimited potential for us to grow ourselves and our businesses.

My wife has a favorite saying, “It’s a big world.” It’s actually more of an inside joke between us than a saying, and she’ll probably roll her eyes when she sees that I wrote it in this article, but stop to think about the fact that it really is a BIG world. There is so much in it that you have never even heard of, so much information that will be of value you to you, and all you have to do is go out looking for it.

We should all make it a personal quest to seek out new information on at least a daily basis - and then share that information with as many interested people that you think will benefit.

Only by learning do we continue to grow, and you’d be absolutely amazed to find out what you don’t know.
