Plant "The Garden of Your Mind"


Sometimes I think the world forces kids to grow up too fast these days. That is why I'm glad that Mister Rogers is still shown on TV a decade after his death. The slower pace of the show is calming and allows for a child to "tune out" for a second (ever notice how they pan the camera during the show) before refocusing on whatever comes next. Little bits of learning and information are allowed to be absorbed and understood.

Mister Rogers' message of always being curious and wanting to learn and "grow the garden of your mind" is one that is relevant to the world of sales and recruiting.
No matter how many people you've placed or how many companies you've sold your services to there is always room to learn more.

Make sure you attend training seminars:
Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce
Networking events held by professional organizations in your field:
Metro Milwaukee SHRM

Join LinkedIn groups and participate in the discussions. Here is a couple of good groups for recruiters:
Recruiter Network of Southeast Wisconsin
The Recruiter Network #1 Group for Recruiters

Read sales articles to get new ideas for proposals, leads, closes, questions, etc.:
Sales Resources.com

Do what you can to keep growing "The Garden of Your Mind."

Thanks to ALL OF YOU & Mister Rogers!
