Bountiful Results

The 4th component of getting bountiful results is the tools and training needed to get results.  Each and everyone of us has a unique set of skills and training that we have accumulated as we have gone through life.  Each of us are qualified to do something with our talents and skills.

Understanding how tools and training are crucial to getting results will help you on your journey to Bountiful Results.  Using the analogy of a car – tools and training is the vehicle that action rides in and the plan is steering the vehicle.

Let’s take a task like driving a nail into a board.   We must have some type of tool to drive the nail in and we must have some prior knowledge or training in order to be successful.  I know we can self teach,  but I also know it could be a painful lesson.  The most common tool for driving a nail is a hammer.  A hammer is not the most efficient method, the air powered nailer is.  I have also used a rock to drive a nail, again a potentially painful lesson.  I just listed three different tools that can be used to drive a nail.

The time that it takes to get to bountiful results is in direct proportion to the efficiency of the tool we select to use and our skill level with that tool.

If you want to be a carpenter.  Seek out the best training that you can find.  Get good tools that will be efficient.  Practice your new found skills with the new tools.  I am great with a saw and a utility knife, but that definitely doesn’t qualify me to be a surgeon.

So I guess what I am trying to say is -  do not underestimate the importance of the tools and training that you have when you are planning for success.
