HOW TO UPGRADE YOUR SKILLS AND FAST TRACK RESULTS

Here I share 3 key ways to upgrade your skills and fast track results.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP) is a well known concept in business and sales. It refers to what sets a business or product apart from its competitors, and that ultimately gives it an edge. This is often the difference between succeeding in a particular market or not.
If the market rewards value, whether in terms of profession or business, then the key to increasing your USP is to upgrade your skills.
This is critical if you want to get a competitive edge over your competition. Remember the Pareto principle: 80% of results come from 20% of effort. The key is where and how to invest that effort.
Upgrading your skills will give you an edge, and will put you in the top 20% of achievers in your field. But you need to know how to upgrade your skills to fast track results. Here are 3 ways to upgrade your skills efficiently:
1. Focus on developing relevant skills, those that will add the most value
2. Find any and every opportunity to apply or practise those skills
3. Study the trends in your industry to more easily identify skills gaps, and know which skills to develop before your competitors do
The world is changing rapidly. Skills that may be relevant now may not be in the next 5 to 10 years.
To stay competitive, and to fast track your results, keep sharpening your edge, and never stop learning.
