Today I’m going to discuss 3 important words that can be used in parenting, leadership, business, or basically whatever profession you’re in, and they are…Information .. Action .. Results.

With the internet, smart phones, TV, radio, newspaper, gossip, etc. information is all around us. We are not in the industrial age anymore. Welcome to the INFORMATION AGE!! We can have access to information within seconds if we really want to find out something. Here’s the problem, how do you know that the information you get is valid? Once you get that information (right or wrong information) you will act upon that information. From your actions you will have results.

So your results of your actions stem from the information you receive. Here is a perfect example, my sister-in-law was in a town she was not very familiar with and she had to run to the store. She asked me how to get back to where I was from that store. I told her to turn left out of the parking lot to get back to where we are. Little did she know that she asked the wrong person! I need a GPS to find the bathroom in my own house! So it took my sister-in-law an hour to get back from a store that was only 15 minutes away.

You see, I gave her information (wrong information), she acted upon it, and got negative results. Let’s go a little deeper. What kind of information are you currently receiving about life, work, relationships, business, etc.? You will know what kind of information you are getting by first looking at your results. Are the results you are getting the results that you really want? What about the actions? Are you doing the right actions to get the results you really want? If you answer NO to both then that means you are not being fed the right information.

That’s what happened to me. I was not getting the right information even though I went to college and graduate school. What I learned in both institutions did not even come close for what I faced in the real world, at my real jobs. If you are a doctor, lawyer, physical therapist, or some kind of other specialty field then yeah, college and grad school will prepare you, but if you are a guy with a Sociology degree and a Masters in Health Care Administration like me then all your learning is going to come in the field OR by you taking the initiative to get the right information.

In any industry who makes the most money? Who has the biggest houses? The nicest cars? The great vacations? It’s the leaders! It’s the people who have taken the extra time to better themselves by seeking out to find the right information, acting on that information, and getting the results they want.

So with online marketing and blogging where do you get the right information? Well, if you want, you can start by checking out my blog posts. Even better join my mailing list to the right.
