Confused! What do you want to learn in your spare job?

Recently I received a few questions about learning and growth in the sub-answer:

1. Have some free time at work, what should you learn to improve yourself?
2. In a small company, the boss is very free to you but nothing to teach you, colleagues do not want to teach you! How did it break?
3. How can I not waste college time?
4. New media editor for three months, a person running a local life class public number, small business owners do not often manage, feel that learn nothing, whether to stay?

A person's learning and growth can be divided into passive and active two ways.

When you are in a fast paced environment, there is not enough to do things, pushed away by things, even if you do not want to learn, will be passively in the work of mastering a lot of knowledge, will own a lot of skills to exercise more skilled, this is passive growth.

Active growth, refers to a person can jump out of the impact of the environment, no matter what the company arrangements to their own things are less, no matter whether the work is easy or tense, no matter whether others teach themselves or not to teach, can be in their areas of interest to continue to learn, practice, and actively let themselves become more and more valuable.

So then there are two questions:

1. How can you tell what kind of learner you are?
2. Learn what?

What kind of learner are you?

To tell what kind of learner you are, just ask yourself a few simple little questions:

1. What do you do in your spare time?
2. What are you doing when you're not busy at work?
3. Will you review, summarize and improve your work spontaneously?
4. What happens to your work status when there is no leadership oversight or restraint?

What am I supposed to learn?

Many people will say, I have time, and want to learn, but do not know what I should learn, so think about it, forget it, do not learn.

If you really want to learn something, you can find the goal by analyzing the following three aspects:

1. The information gap of the ego
2. The gap with the best people

3. The way you want to be

   • Information gaps

When a person has a little idea of something and does not understand it, it generates curiosity, and he wants to explore the unknown part of its association according to the part he knows. The distance between known and unknown is the information gap. is an example:

On the left is the information gap model, and on the right is an example that shows the gap in the information that a novice career planner encounters with the character type test. The character type has its psychological basis, when you learn the course, you will be exposed to Jung, Adler, may also understand similar psychological and personality type theory, such as Holland career interest theory, disc assessment, at this time in your knowledge map, from the to the psychological and personality types there is a gap between , you can fill the gap by reading Jung's "psychological type", Adler's "inferiority and Transcendence", "Understanding Human nature", "nine personality" and other books.

• Find the gap with the best people

The three of us will have my teacher.

From the people around us, we can also find things to learn.

For example, you are a sales, marketing OA system to corporate customers. You sell a set for one months, and sometimes you don't sell a single quarter. And your colleague Xiao Qiang, at least one months to sell five sets, most of the time one months sold 12 sets.

How did Xiao Qiang do that? Where is the gap between you and Xiao Qiang?

Analysis, you have the direction of learning. For example, you may be able to enhance your study in the following areas:

• Potential customer information gathering
• Improve the success rate of the worship appointment
• Sales Psychology
• Sales Speech surgery
• Key Conversations

If you want to be promoted from executive to manager, then you can learn from your direct manager to see what's worse for him: communication, expression, organization, management, leadership, planning, writing ...

In contrast, you can find a lot of things to learn.

• The way you want to be

Actually a person wants to want to study, is by the intrinsic motive. If you know what you want to be, you will burst out of your heart, hungry, diligent, tireless to learn and improve.

For example, Zhang San want to become a child psychological analyst, to help children with psychological and behavioral bias to better growth, he will naturally in the psychology, pedagogy and other fields to find learning direction, and constantly enrich their knowledge and skills, but also to obtain the necessary qualifications (such as national psychological Consultants, teacher qualification certificate, etc.).

For example, Jen want to become a similar to Longyu as the beauty and wisdom of investors, then she may take the initiative to learn entrepreneurship, business management, financial, accounting, investment, marketing and other aspects of knowledge, and may choose a direction to start a business, go "entrepreneurial –> entrepreneurs –> investors" such a development route.

Think about what you want to be, or what you will look like five years from now, and if you can find a clear goal, what will not be a problem, and you'll actively use the information gap and model theory to quickly find the way to work.
